Ben and Lily like to play outside. They like to run and jump and make sand castles. One day, they see a big yellow ball in the sky. It is the sun. The sun is very bright and warm.
Ben and Lily want to touch the sun. They think it is a toy. They try to jump and reach the sun, but they cannot. They try to climb a tree and grab the sun, but they cannot. They try to throw a stick and hit the sun, but they cannot. The sun is too high and too far.
Ben and Lily are sad. They want the sun to come down and play with them. They ask the sun to please come down. They say they are sorry for throwing the stick. They say they will be nice and gentle with the sun.
But the sun does not answer. The sun does not move. The sun does not care. The sun is busy shining and making the day.
Ben and Lily are very sad. They cry and cry. They do not want to play anymore. They go inside and hug their mom. Their mom tells them that the sun is not a toy. The sun is a star. The sun is very hot and very big. The sun is not for touching. The sun is for looking and smiling.
Ben and Lily learn something new. They say they are sorry for being silly. They say they will not try to touch the sun again. They say they will only look and smile at the sun. They say they love the sun.
The next day, Ben and Lily go outside again. They see the sun in the sky. The sun is still bright and warm. Ben and Lily look and smile at the sun. The sun looks and smiles back. Ben and Lily are happy. They play and have fun. They thank the sun for making the day.
