Aisha’s Show and Tell
It’s show and tell day at school. Aisha has a mystery box. What’s inside?
It was show and tell day. Everyone had brought something special. Zane had a toy dinosaur. Another child had a big book. Aisha held a little box tightly, with a secret inside.
‘Now, Aisha,’ said Harvey the bear. ‘What have you brought?’ Aisha felt a bit shy. Her thing was so small. What if no one liked it? But she stood up bravely.
Aisha opened the box very slowly. The whole class leaned forward. Inside was a seashell! Aisha said, ‘I found it on my walk to school. It made me smile, so I wanted to show you.’
‘Ooooh!’ said the children. Zane said, ‘Can I hold it?’ Everyone wanted to see. Aisha passed it round carefully, and every face lit up with wonder.
‘What a lovely thing to share,’ said Harvey. Aisha beamed. The best things aren’t always big. Sometimes, they’re small and found by someone who looks closely.
