Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Amy. She had an unusual toy. It was a ball of string. She loved her ball of string. Amy took it everywhere she went.
One day, Amy met a boy named Tim. Tim saw Amy's ball of string and said, "I hate string!" Amy was sad. She asked Tim, "Why do you hate string?" Tim said, "It is not fun. I like cars and trucks."
Amy wanted to show Tim that string could be fun too. She tied one end of the string to a tree and the other end to a truck. Tim watched as the truck pulled the string tight. Then, Amy and Tim walked on the string like a tightrope.
Tim smiled and said, "You are right, Amy. String can be fun!" They played with the string all day. From that day on, Tim did not hate string anymore. Amy and Tim became good friends, and they had many fun days playing with the unusual ball of string.
