📖 Article 1: The Little Blue Lunchbox
Tom had a little blue lunchbox that he brought to school every day. He liked it because it had a picture of a smiling whale on the front. Every morning, Tom’s mother packed his lunch with sandwiches, fruit, and a small juice box. Tom always checked his lunchbox before leaving home to make sure it was closed properly.
One day during lunchtime, Tom opened his lunchbox and found only his sandwich inside. His apple and juice box were missing. Tom felt sad because he was still hungry. His friend Mandy asked him what was wrong, and Tom told her about the missing food.
Mandy said she saw a juice box roll off a table earlier. They checked near the classroom door and found Tom’s juice box and apple on the floor. Tom smiled and thanked Mandy for helping him.
Tom learned he must zip his lunchbox tightly next time.
