Shelly's Adventure

Shelly woke up and was curious, "What is the meaning of home?" Good question! The meaning of home is where you can be yourself, where you feel safe and let's talk about more. "Ok," said Shelly. "Home is where you live, where you make memories, your home is different than your friend's house. "How?", asked Shelly. "Your home has the smell of you and everything you love!" "Let's go explore more!", said Shelly. They went on an adventure and they saw many people. "Look! Those ducks have a home! Those kids too! And those birds!" said Shelly. "Yes they all have homes. They are all safe in their homes!, Parents have kids at home!" said Shelly. They went inside and Shelly was so excited that she bumped into her brother Sylvester. He didn't mind. The next day Shelly woke up and said, "Let's go see more homes!" They went to the neighbourhood and saw more homes. They saw bees, they have a beehive - it's their home. They saw a family. "They have a home", said Shelly. They saw a dog and he has a home too! They went home and drew pictures of homes! They went to bed and the next day they went on a walk. They saw houses left and right. There were black ones and blue ones and white ones green ones - all of them were different! There was even a rainbow home! They saw so many homes! They saw butterflies and they have homes too! "Yes homes are where we live", said Shelly.
