Once upon a time in a cozy red-brick house, a mom had two children. Every morning, she cooked them warm oatmeal.
Her husband was a brave firefighter. His job was to save people, and he was not home much.
Flame was 10 years old with a smile always dancing on his lips. He loved to play with his little sister Kemmy.
Little Miss Kemmy, with her bright blue eyes, was 4 years old. She followed Flame everywhere he went.
One sunny day, their mom said, 'Flame, can you watch Kemmy? I need to go to the store.'
'Of course, Mom!' Flame replied. As soon as she left, they began their adventure in the backyard.
They climbed aboard an imaginary ship. 'I'm Captain Flame, and this is First Mate Kemmy!' he declared.
Miss Kemmy giggled, her laughter chiming like bells. Together, they sailed the seven seas of their garden.
They battled fierce inflatable dragons and conquered mysterious, tangled jungles of green.
In the jungle of green, they found a treasure box. It was full of colorful stones and shiny trinkets.
As the sun began to set, they heard their mom's voice. 'Children, I'm back with snacks for you!'
Flame and Kemmy shared stories of their journey. 'We braved the wildest seas,' Flame exclaimed!
Tired but happy, they enjoyed their snacks. Mom smiled with joy at their wonderful tales and laughter.
