Cora and her brother, Max, walked home from school one sunny afternoon. Cora was so tired she could hardly keep her eyes open. ‘Let’s rest on that bench,’ she said.

As they sat down, Cora noticed something unusual. ‘Max! Look! A bear by the sand pit!’ she exclaimed, pointing.

The bear looked at them, then jumped into the sand pit. ‘Let’s follow him!’ Cora shouted. Without thinking, they both dashed forward and fell into the pit, too!

Suddenly, the sand began to move, and their chairs flew forward. ‘Whoa!’ they yelled, sliding down a hill of golden sand.

At the bottom of the hill, they dropped off the edge of the earth and landed softly on a giant cloud pillow. ‘Puff! That was close!’ said Max, laughing.

They looked around and saw dreamy, dazed and sleepy sheep. ‘We must help count and find them!’ said Cora. So they counted, ‘One, two, three…’
Count out loud from one to ten.
After the counting was done, sheep number one said, ‘Hop on my back! I’ll take you to the Wackaloo Gumballs!’

The Wackaloo Gumballs were silly girls who knew it all. They greeted Cora and Max with songs and dance. ‘How do we get back?’ asked Max.

The Wackaloo Gumballs rolled, sang, and danced them all the way to a HUGE tree. They laughed and twirled until they saw Old Lady Hollow.

Old Lady Hollow was wise and kind. ‘Welcome,’ she said. ‘Plants and animals love us. We need to treat them with care and respect, just as they do for us.’
Pretend to give a wise and kind speech.
To celebrate, Old Lady Hollow made a small strawberry cheesecake. They all ate and felt so happy. ‘Yum!’ said Cora as she took a big bite.

After the sweet treat, Cora felt sleepy again. ‘Let’s take a nap,’ she said. They all laid down on the soft grass and drifted into a peaceful sleep.
