Anna and Ben like to play golf with their dad. Dad has a big bag with many sticks. He lets Anna and Ben choose one stick each. Anna picks a short stick and Ben picks a long stick. Dad says they can hit the small ball with the stick and try to make it go in the hole.
They go to a big field with many holes. Dad shows them how to hold the stick and swing it. He hits the ball very far and it goes in the hole. Anna and Ben clap and say, "Wow, dad, you are good at golf!"
Then it is Anna's turn. She holds the stick and swings it. But the ball does not go far. It rolls on the grass and stops. Anna says, "Oh, no, I am bad at golf!"
Dad says, "No, Anna, you are not bad. You just need to practice more. And maybe you need a taller stick. Do you want to try Ben's stick?"
Anna says, "Yes, please, dad. Can I try Ben's stick?" Ben says, "OK, Anna, you can try my stick. But you have to guess how tall it is."
Anna looks at Ben's stick. It is much taller than her. She says, "Hmm, I guess it is as tall as a tree. Or maybe as tall as a house. Or maybe as tall as a giraffe."
Ben laughs and says, "No, Anna, it is not that tall. It is as tall as me. See, it reaches my head. Can you guess how tall I am?"
Anna says, "Yes, I can guess. You are as tall as a chair. Or maybe as tall as a table. Or maybe as tall as a dog."
Ben says, "No, Anna, I am not that tall. I am as tall as four books. See, I can stack four books on the ground and they reach my head. Can you do that?"
Anna says, "Yes, I can do that. I can stack four books on the ground and they reach my head too. Look, we are the same tall!"
Ben says, "Yes, we are the same tall. And we are both good at guessing. And we are both good at golf. Let's try to hit the ball with my stick and see how far it goes."
Anna says, "OK, let's try. Maybe it will go in the hole. Maybe we will be as good as dad."
They take turns to hit the ball with Ben's stick. The ball goes farther than before. They run after it and try to find the hole. They have fun playing golf with Ben's stick. They are happy. Dad is happy too. He says, "You are both good at golf. And you are both good at guessing. And you are both good at being my kids. I love you."
