Sara and Ben went to the store with Mom. They saw many things they liked, but Mom said they could only buy one thing each. Sara and Ben looked around and saw a big display of candy. It was high on a shelf, with many colors and shapes.
"Wow, look at all the candy!" Sara said. "I want some!"
"Me too!" Ben said. "But how can we reach it?"
They tried to jump and stretch, but they were too small. The candy was too high. They asked Mom for help, but Mom said no.
"No, you can't have candy today," Mom said. "It's not good for you. You can choose something else."
Sara and Ben were sad. They liked candy very much. They looked at the display and wished they could have some.
Then they saw a man with a ladder. He worked at the store. He was putting more candy on the display. He saw Sara and Ben and smiled.
"Hello, little ones," he said. "Do you like candy?"
"Yes, we do!" Sara and Ben said.
"Well, I have a surprise for you," he said. "You can have one piece each, if you promise to brush your teeth later."
He reached up and took two pieces of candy from the display. He gave one to Sara and one to Ben. They were very happy. They said thank you to the man and to Mom.
They ate their candy and enjoyed it. It was sweet and yummy. They forgot about the other things they wanted to buy. They had the best thing of all: candy from the high display.
