Anya and Javier played in the sunny backyard. Kiko, the dog, wagged his tail fast. They tossed a soft red ball to Kiko.
Then, soft gray clouds rolled into the sky. A small, white thing floated down. Anya watched it with curious eyes.
Another white puff dropped. Then two more! "Look!" cried Javier, excited. "It is raining marshmallows!"
More and more marshmallows fell down. They landed softly like fluffy snow. The whole backyard soon turned white.
Anya ran inside and found a big red basket. "Let's catch them all!" she called. Javier laughed and helped.
The red basket quickly grew full of marshmallows. Anya and Javier looked at the big pile. Kiko sniffed at the sweet treats.
There were so many marshmallows! "What should we do?" asked Anya. Javier thought for a moment. "We can share them!"
They carried the heavy red basket to the park. Other children were playing. Their eyes grew wide when they saw the marshmallows.
Anya and Javier shared the soft, sweet marshmallows. Everyone smiled and laughed. It was a very special day!
Soon, many moms and dads came too. They brought big mugs. Everyone drank warm, yummy hot chocolate with marshmallows!
The end.
