A story about Getting a New Sister
for your 2nd Grader.
King Doodle Bum woke up in his candy castle with a big, toothy grin. He stretched his arms wide and giggled at the chocolate smell drifting through the air. He felt a bubbly excitement in his heart.
Buzzywhirl was zipping around the royal kitchen, looking for new gadgets to fix. The giant insect blinked in surprise when the chocolate fountain suddenly stopped with a sputter. “Oh dear,” Buzzywhirl thought, “This is a real puzzle!”
In a cozy pink cradle sat a tiny newborn princess. Her blanket was soft, and she made sweet gurgling sounds. She did not know it yet, but she would soon explore this tasty kingdom.
The grand chocolate fountain rose high on its golden pedestal, shaped like a swirly cone. Shiny cocoa drips usually trickled down its sides, but now the spout stood quiet and dry. The sweet scent still lingered around the base.
King Doodle Bum tapped his crown in worry when he noticed no chocolate streamed from the fountain. He paced around, thinking of how to fix it before the day ended. “I must make it flow again,” he declared with determination.
Buzzywhirl studied an old map that showed a secret stash of cocoa beans at the top of Candy Mountain. The giant insect recalled an important saying: “Sharing is sweeter when families enjoy it together.” That idea could help them soon.
The baby sister yawned softly, ready for her first day in Sweetsylvania. She would soon discover new flavors and bright wonders in this cheery land. A gentle wiggle of her tiny feet showed her growing excitement.
Candy Mountain towered under the fluffy clouds, with shining sugar cliffs and rainbow candy rocks. Bright gumdrops dotted the path and sparkled like gemstones in the sunlight.
