Ben and Mia liked to play in the sandbox. They had shovels and buckets and made castles and roads. One day, they decided to dig a big pit in the sand. They worked hard and made the pit very deep and wide.
"Look at our pit!" Ben said. "It is the best pit ever!"
"Yes, it is!" Mia agreed. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to fall in the pit."
They put a stick in the sand next to the pit. The stick had a red cloth tied to it. The cloth was a flag. The flag meant that the pit was there and that they had to be careful.
"Let's pretend that the pit is a restaurant," Mia said. "We can serve food to our toys."
"OK!" Ben said. "That sounds fun!"
They got their toys and put them around the pit. They had a teddy bear, a doll, a truck and a dinosaur. They used leaves and stones and flowers as food. They took turns to serve the food to their toys.
"Here you go, teddy bear," Mia said. "This is a leaf salad. It is very yummy."
"Thank you, Mia," the teddy bear said. Mia made the teddy bear talk with her voice.
"Here you go, dinosaur," Ben said. "This is a stone burger. It is very crunchy."
"Thank you, Ben," the dinosaur said. Ben made the dinosaur talk with his voice.
They had a lot of fun serving food to their toys. They were careful not to fall in the pit. They were happy and proud of their pit. They played until it was time to go home.
