Once upon a time, there were two sisters named Emmy and Addie. They lived in a big castle with their parents. The castle had tall towers, colorful flags, and a beautiful garden filled with flowers.
Every morning, Emmy and Addie would wake up and go exploring in the castle. They would climb up the towers, and wave to the birds flying by. Sometimes, they would find secret passages that led to hidden rooms.
One day, Emmy and Addie wanted to have a picnic in the castle garden. They asked their parents to join them, but their parents were busy working. 'Patience,' their parents said. 'We'll join you soon.'
Emmy and Addie decided to set up the picnic by themselves. They spread out a colorful blanket, and placed sandwiches, fruits, and cookies on it. They even poured juice into pretty cups.
Just as Emmy and Addie sat down to eat, their parents finally joined them. 'Thank you for waiting patiently,' their parents said. They sat together, enjoying the delicious food and laughing.
Emmy and Addie learned that sometimes, it's important to be patient. Even when they were excited, they knew that good things were worth waiting for. And from that day forward, every picnic in the castle garden was even more special.
The end.
