Lila and Ben are friends who like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. One day, they decide to make a big tower with all the blocks they have. They work hard and stack the blocks high and wide. They are very proud of their tower.
"Look at our tower!" Lila says. "It is so big and original. No one has a tower like ours."
"Yes, it is amazing!" Ben says. "We are the best builders ever. Do you think we can mail our tower to someone?"
Lila thinks for a moment. She likes the idea of sharing their tower with someone else. But she also likes their tower and does not want to lose it.
"Who do you want to mail it to?" she asks.
Ben thinks too. He remembers his grandma, who lives far away and sends him letters and stickers sometimes. He loves his grandma and misses her.
"Maybe we can mail it to my grandma," he says. "She would like our tower. She likes colorful things and she always says we are creative."
Lila nods. She likes Ben's grandma too. She is very nice and tells funny stories. She thinks she would like their tower too.
"Okay, let's mail it to your grandma," she says. "But how do we do that?"
Ben looks around. He sees a big cardboard box in the corner. He has an idea.
"Maybe we can put our tower in that box," he says. "And then we can write a letter and draw a picture and put them in the box too. And then we can ask mom or dad to take the box to the mail place."
Lila likes Ben's idea. She thinks it is clever and kind.
"Let's do that," she says. "But first, let's take a photo of our tower. So we can remember it and show it to our friends."
Ben agrees. He finds his mom's phone and takes a photo of their tower. They smile and hug their tower. Then they carefully take apart their tower and put the blocks in the box. They also write a letter and draw a picture for Ben's grandma. They tape the box and write "To Grandma" on it. They are ready to mail their tower.
They go to find mom or dad and show them their box. Mom and dad are surprised and impressed by their tower and their letter and their picture. They praise them for their work and their generosity. They agree to take the box to the mail place.
Lila and Ben are happy. They hope their grandma will like their tower. They also hope she will write back and send them a photo of her with their tower. They think they have done a good thing. They hug each other and go to play with some other toys. They are still the best builders ever.
