Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build tall towers and see who could make the highest one. Tom had a lot of blue blocks and Lily had a lot of red blocks.
"Look, Lily, my tower is almost as high as the table!" Tom said, putting another block on top of his tower.
"That's good, Tom, but mine is higher!" Lily said, smiling. She added another block to her tower, too.
They kept building and building, until they ran out of blocks. Then they looked at their towers and compared them.
"Wow, they are both very high!" Tom said. "But I think mine is a little bit higher. I win!"
"No, Tom, mine is higher. You can't see it well, but the top block is bigger than yours. I win!" Lily said.
They started to argue and get angry. They wanted to measure their towers, but they didn't have a ruler or a tape. They looked around the room, but they couldn't find anything to help them.
"Maybe we can ask Mom to help us," Tom said.
"OK, let's go find her," Lily said.
They left their towers on the floor and ran to the kitchen, where Mom was making lunch.
"Mom, Mom, can you help us?" Tom said.
"What is it, sweeties?" Mom said.
"We need to measure our towers. We want to know who made the highest one," Lily said.
"Your towers? Where are they?" Mom said.
"They are in the living room, on the floor," Tom said.
Mom smiled and said, "OK, I'll come and see them. But you have to wait a little bit. I need to finish making lunch first. Can you delay your game for a few minutes?"
Tom and Lily nodded. They knew Mom was busy and they had to be patient.
"OK, Mom, we'll wait. But please hurry, we really want to know who won," Tom said.
"Sure, sweeties, I'll be there soon. Why don't you go back to the living room and play something else? Maybe you can read a book or draw a picture," Mom said.
Tom and Lily agreed. They ran back to the living room and looked at their towers. They were still standing, tall and proud.
They decided to be calm and not fight anymore. They picked up a book and sat on the couch. They read the book together and laughed at the funny pictures.
They forgot about their towers for a while. They were having fun and enjoying their time.
They didn't mind waiting for Mom. They knew she would come and help them soon. They were happy and proud of their towers and their friendship.
