Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But today they are tired. They had a long day at school. They learned many new things. They also ran and jumped a lot.
They come home with Mom. Mom says, "I have a surprise for you. I made some pastries for you. They are sweet and yummy. Do you want some?"
Lily and Ben smile. They love pastries. They say, "Yes, please, Mom. Thank you, Mom. You are the best, Mom."
Mom gives them each a plate with a pastry. They sit at the table and eat. They make happy noises. They think the pastries are delicious. They think Mom is very nice.
They finish their pastries. They feel full and happy. They say, "Mom, can we go to bed now? We are very tired. We want to sleep."
Mom says, "Of course, my darlings. You had a busy day. You need to rest. Come on, I will tuck you in."
She takes them to their room. She kisses them good night. She turns off the light. She says, "Sleep well, Lily and Ben. I love you very much."
Lily and Ben snuggle in their beds. They close their eyes. They think of the pastries. They think of Mom. They think of tomorrow. They fall asleep. They dream of sweet and yummy things.
