Once upon a time, there was a shy skeleton named Skelly. Skelly lived in a small house in the woods. He had a big red ball that he liked to bounce all day long.
One sunny day, Skelly went outside to bounce his ball. While he was playing, a little girl named Sue walked by. Sue saw Skelly and his ball and said, "Hi! Can I play with you?"
Skelly was shy, but he wanted to make a new friend. So, he said, "Yes, you can play with me." Sue and Skelly took turns bouncing the big red ball. They laughed and had a lot of fun.
After playing, Sue and Skelly sat down to rest. Sue said, "Thank you for playing with me, Skelly." Skelly smiled and said, "You're welcome, Sue. I had fun too." From that day on, Sue and Skelly were best friends, and they played together every day.
