Ben and Clara went to school.↵
They walked with Sam and Sophie.↵
Ben and Clara liked their teacher, Ms. Ray.↵
They were in her class.↵
Sam liked Ms. Ray too — he was in the same class.↵
↵
It was story time.↵
Ms. Ray read The Magic Land.↵
It was about a girl and her dog.↵
The girl's name was Ellie.↵
↵
Suddenly, a big storm came in the story.↵
The wind carried Ellie's house far away.↵
On her journey, she met a friendly Scarecrow,↵
Then a Tin Robot,↵
And a shy Lion.↵
↵
Ellie also met a witch!↵
The story had another storm.↵
↵
It was time for break,↵
But the rain outside was too heavy.↵
So, the children played indoors.↵
They acted out The Magic Land.↵
↵
Ms. Ray loved their little performance.↵
She had an idea —↵
"Let's make it a real play!"↵
↵
Sam's mom helped with the costumes.↵
Ben played the Tin Robot,↵
Sam was the Lion,↵
Clara was the witch.↵
↵
Sam's dad painted a big house backdrop.↵
The children helped decorate it.↵
↵
On the day of the play,↵
All the parents came to watch.↵
They clapped and cheered.↵
↵
"What a wonderful play!" they said.↵
↵
The kids gave Ms. Ray some flowers.↵
"That was so much fun," said Sam.↵
↵
When it was time to go home,↵
Rain poured down again.↵
↵
"It's just like our play!" laughed Ben.
