Emmy and Addie live in a beautiful pink castle with their daddy. They love playing in their castle and exploring every room. One day, as they explore the library, Daddy says, 'Emmy and Addie, it's time to find a play friend! Let's go to the magical garden!'
Emmy and Addie follow their daddy to the magical garden. The garden is full of colorful flowers, talking squirrels, and twinkling lights. 'We need a play friend who is good at listening,' Daddy says. 'Listen carefully, and we might find them!'
As they explore, Emmy and Addie see a rabbit hopping by. They ask, 'Rabbit, will you be our play friend?' The rabbit shakes its head, 'I like to jump, not listen!'
Next, they see a parrot perched on a branch. 'Parrot, will you be our play friend?' they ask. The parrot squawks, 'I love to talk, not listen!'
Just when they start to feel sad, they spot a wise owl sitting on a tree branch. 'Owl, will you be our play friend?' they ask. The owl looks at them with big, wise eyes. 'I am an excellent listener. Let's be play friends!'
Emmy, Addie, Daddy, and the owl have a wonderful time playing games and telling stories. The owl listens carefully to everything they say. They laugh and have so much fun! From that day on, they became the best of friends, always listening and playing together.
