Once there was a young boy who wanted to touch something long. He searched and searched until he found a big red ribbon. He ran up to it and jumped up to touch the ribbon, but he was too short. He stretched and stretched until he could feel the soft fabric of the ribbon in his fingers. He smiled, feeling the long ribbon in his hands.
He laughed with joy, and ran around the room, swinging the ribbon around him. Suddenly he heard a noise, and he stopped and stared. His mom had come in, holding a basket full of clothes.
The boy quickly tucked the ribbon behind his back, hoping his mom hadn't seen it. But his mom had seen it, and she smiled and knelt down to touch the ribbon with her own fingers.
The boy brightened and grinned, knowing his mom was happy he had found something beautiful to touch. He twirled the long ribbon around for a little while longer before his mom picked him up and hugged him tight.
