Kenny and Ellie were playing a game. Ellie was holding a large yellow balloon in her hand. Kenny wanted to play catch with the balloon, but Ellie said no. She wanted to save it.
Kenny said, "Please, can I have a turn?"
But Ellie shook her head. "It's my balloon," she said.
Kenny was scared to upset Ellie, so he suggested another game. They played hide-and-seek but the game was dull. Kenny wanted to play again with the balloon.
"Let's try!" Kenny said. He smiled.
But the smile faded away when Ellie said no again. He could feel his heart beating fast. He was starting to worry.
Then Ellie spoke up, "I can show you how to make your own balloon. That way, you won't have to worry about playing with mine."
Kenny was thrilled! The two friends spent the rest of the day making colorful balloons together. Kenny was very happy that his new balloon was as bright as Ellie's.
