Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and dragons. Lily had a stick that she called her sword. Max had a scarf that he tied around his neck like a tail.
"Roar!" Max said, running after Lily. "I am a big dragon and I will catch you!"
"No, you won't!" Lily said, waving her sword. "I am a brave knight and I will stop you!"
They chased each other around the trees and the swings. They had a lot of fun. Sometimes Lily would catch Max and tickle him. Sometimes Max would catch Lily and hug her.
One time, Max saw something shiny on the ground. He stopped and picked it up. It was a metal pin with a star on it. It sparkled in the sun.
"Wow!" Max said. "Look what I found! It is a rare star pin. Maybe it is magic!"
Lily came over and looked at it. She thought it was pretty.
"Can I see it?" she asked.
"OK, but be careful," Max said. He gave her the pin.
Lily held it in her hand. She felt happy. She liked stars.
"Thank you, Max," she said. "You are a nice dragon. Do you want to trade?"
"Trade?" Max asked.
"Yes, trade. You give me the pin and I give you something else. Like my sword. Do you want my sword?"
Max thought about it. He liked the pin, but he also liked the sword. It was a good stick.
"OK, let's trade," he said. He took the sword from Lily and gave her the pin.
They smiled at each other. They were happy with their trade.
"Let's play some more," Lily said.
"OK, but now I am the knight and you are the dragon," Max said.
"OK, but I am a friendly dragon," Lily said.
They ran off, laughing and playing. They had a rare and magic day.
