Once upon a time, there were two best friends, Maggie and Kelly. They were always having lots of fun together.
One day, they decided to pretend to be mommies and daddies. Maggie said, “Let’s pretend to cook some food! What shall we make?” Kelly thought for a moment and then said, “Let’s make blue cakes!”
So they set to work making the cakes. Maggie pretended to mix the ingredients while Kelly pretended to put them in the oven. They had lots of fun!
But then Kelly said, “Let’s pretend to eat the cakes!” But Maggie said, “No, we can’t! We don’t have any real food.”
Kelly was very upset and argued, “But we made them!” Maggie calmly replied, “Yes, but imaginary food isn’t real food. We can’t eat it.”
So, instead of pretending to eat the imaginary cakes, Maggie and Kelly decided to make real food. Maggie said, “Let’s make some fruit salad!” So they did, and it tasted delicious!
Moral of the story: You can't pretend to eat food, but you can make real food to eat instead.
