Once upon a time in a little town, a mysterious box appeared on the top of Old Man Jenkins' porch. It was shiny and had colorful stickers all over it. Every day, the children in the town wondered what was inside. Some said it could be a treasure, while others thought it might be filled with magical toys. After many days of waiting, Old Man Jenkins finally opened the box. Inside, there were beautiful colorful kites! The children cheered and ran outside to fly their new kites together on a sunny day.
