Cindy hugged her plush kitty, Lulu, tight, the pink fur soft under her cheek.
Plush: something soft and furry. Can you describe something plush that you own?
The moon shone through the window, bathing the room in a silvery glow. Lulu's emerald eyes sparkled, and she whispered, 'It's time for an adventure.'
Adventure: an unusual and exciting experience. What adventure would you like to go on?
Suddenly, they were floating, surrounded by fluffy clouds and stars. Beneath them, an entire kingdom made of billowing cotton candy awaited.
Billowing: something that is bulging out. Describe how sails billow in the wind.
They touched down gently, the ground cushioning their landing. Forests of lollipop trees and chocolate rivers spread out around them.
Cushioning: to soften the impact of something. How does a pillow cushion your head?
A cotton candy cloud in the shape of a dragon appeared, 'Welcome, Cindy. I am the Guardian of Candied Realms.'
Guardian: one who protects or defends something. Who would be the guardian in a castle?
Lulu turned to her, 'To explore this kingdom, you must promise to share its secrets with no one but those who believe.'
Explore: to travel through a place to learn about it. What would you like to explore?
They agreed and ventured forth, marveling at the kingdom's wonders and the creatures that frolicked freely among the treats.
Ventured: to proceed despite the risk of danger. Tell about a time you ventured somewhere new.
They came upon a dilemma, a bridge made of brittle candy canes, a sign warning, 'Only the truthful may pass.'
Dilemma: a situation where a difficult choice has to be made. Describe a dilemma you've faced.
Cindy took a step and the bridge held firm. She realized the importance of being true to one's words and actions.
True: being in accordance with the actual state of affairs. How can you be true to a friend?
On the other side, a grove of candy floss trees had words inscribed on them, telling stories of those who upheld their promises.
Inscribed: to write words as a lasting record. What would you like inscribed on a trophy?
As dawn approached, Lulu spoke, 'It's time to go. Remember, let your actions reflect your words, just like the bridge.'
Reflect: to show an image or representation of. How does water reflect the sky?
Back in her room, the sun's first rays peeked through. Cindy whispered to Lulu, 'I'll always cherish our secret kingdom.'
Cherish: to protect and care for lovingly. What is something you cherish?
