Sara looked at her old red bag, frowning. It was torn and dirty.

She dreamed of a new bag, one with bright colors and lots of pockets.

Her friend Alex had a green bag. It was sturdy and had a special pocket for treasures.

Sara saved her allowance, imagining all the adventures she would have with a new bag.

After weeks, Sara had enough money. She told her mom she was ready to buy a better bag.

They went to the store together. Sara saw bags of blue, pink, and purple, but not the right one.

Then, at the corner, she spotted it. The bag was mostly red with blue stripes and yellow stars.

It was perfect. It even had a hidden pocket inside. 'This is the one!' she exclaimed.

Her mom smiled, happy to see Sara's joy. They bought the bag and went home.

Sara transferred her things into the new bag. It felt good to have a place for everything.

The next day, Sara wore her new bag to school. Alex noticed, 'Cool bag, Sara!'

At recess, Sara opened the hidden pocket. Inside, she kept a photo of her and Alex.
