Once upon a time, there was a little town with lots of houses. Some houses were very old, and some were brand new. The old houses had pointy roofs and small windows, while the new houses had flat roofs and big windows. The old houses were made of bricks and had chimneys, while the new houses were made of shiny glass and had fancy doors. The old houses looked cozy and full of stories, while the new houses looked modern and sleek.

But why did some houses look old and some houses look new? Well, a long time ago, people didn't have big machines to build houses quickly. They had to use their hands and lots of hard work. They would gather wood and stones and build one house at a time. These houses would last for a very long time and become old houses.

As time went on, new machines were invented that could build houses faster. People could now make many houses all at once! These houses were built with new materials like shiny glass and strong metal. They were made to be modern and look different from the old houses.

So now, when you look around your town, you might see old houses with pointy roofs and small windows, and you might see new houses with flat roofs and big windows. Each house has its own story to tell. Some houses are old and full of history, while some houses are new and full of possibilities. And no matter if a house is old or new, it can be a wonderful place to call home!
