The Game of Musical Chairs

Once upon a time, there was a group of children who gathered in the park to play a fun game called musical chairs.

Children playing in the park, bright colors, happy faces

The children stood in a circle around a row of colorful chairs, waiting for the music to start.

When the music began, the children started walking around the chairs in a circle, laughing and dancing to the music.

But as the music stopped suddenly, the children rushed to find an empty chair to sit on.

One child couldn't find a chair in time and was out of the game.

With each round, a chair was taken away, and the children had to be quick to find a seat.

The game continued until only one child was left, sitting triumphantly in the last chair.

Everyone clapped and cheered for the winner, and they all agreed to play again another day.
