Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Maria Grazia. She had a beautiful smile and golden curly hair. Maria Grazia loved to play with her friends and have lots of fun. One hot summer day, Maria Grazia wanted to cool off by taking a shower. She remembered that her friends, Luca and Sofia, had a shower in their backyard. Without thinking twice, she ran to their house, excited to have a refreshing shower. But when she got there, she realized she had forgotten to bring her sponge!
Luca and Sofia welcomed Maria Grazia with big smiles on their faces. They had short brown hair and sparkling blue eyes. They were kind-hearted friends who always helped each other. When they saw Maria Grazia without a sponge, they knew she needed their help.
Luca quickly brought a soft sponge, while Sofia filled a bucket with warm water. They showed Maria Grazia how to wet the sponge and gently rub it on her skin to get it all clean. Maria Grazia learned that even without her own sponge, she could still have a wonderful shower by sharing with her friends.
After the shower, Maria Grazia felt refreshed and grateful for her kind friends. She promised herself that she would always remember to bring her own sponge the next time. From that day on, Maria Grazia, Luca, and Sofia spent many more fun-filled days together, creating lovely memories.
