One day, a girl named Amy had a pair of scissors. She wanted to cut paper to make a pretty picture. But it was difficult for her to use the scissors. She tried and tried, but the paper would not cut.
Amy's mom saw her trying and wanted to help. She told Amy to listen and hear how the scissors should sound when cutting the paper. Amy listened very carefully. When she heard the right sound, she knew how to cut the paper.
But then, something unexpected happened. The scissors started to talk! They said, "Thank you for learning how to use me right." Amy was so surprised. She did not know scissors could talk. Now, Amy and the scissors became good friends and made many pretty pictures together.
