Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Ben brings a new toy to Mia's house. It is a microscope. Ben says, "Look, Mia, this is a microscope. It can make small things big. Do you want to try?"
Mia nods and smiles. She likes to see new things. Ben puts a slide with a flower on the microscope. He turns a knob and the flower becomes bigger. Mia looks through the eye-piece and says, "Wow, Ben, the flower is so pretty. It has many colors and shapes. Can I see more?"
Ben nods and smiles. He puts another slide with a bug on the microscope. He turns another knob and the bug becomes bigger. Mia looks through the eye-piece and says, "Eek, Ben, the bug is so ugly. It has many legs and eyes. It is scary. I don't like it."
Ben laughs and says, "Don't be scared, Mia, it is just a toy bug. It can't hurt you. It is interesting to see how different things are. Do you want to see something else?"
Mia nods and says, "Yes, Ben, but something nice, not scary." Ben puts another slide with a candy on the microscope. He turns the knob and the candy becomes bigger. Mia looks through the eye-piece and says, "Mmm, Ben, the candy is so sweet. It has many crystals and colors. It looks yummy. Can I have some?"
Ben laughs and says, "Sorry, Mia, you can't eat the candy. It is too small. But I have a real candy for you. Here, take one. It is sweet and yummy. We can share."
Mia takes the candy and says, "Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend. I like your microscope. It is a fun toy. We can see many things with it. But I like candy more."
Ben and Mia eat the candy and laugh. They are happy. They like to play with the microscope and with each other. They are good friends.
