"Papi, I want Ice-cream!", asked the Little Girl.
"Why do you want Ice-cream?"
"I have cleaned my room every day this week", said proudly the Little Girl.
"Ah! That is nice, let's check your reward board", said Papi.
Effectively the reward board as 7 stars in the room cleaning target. One star for each day the Little Girl cleaned the room. And in the end of the row was a picture of an ice-cream.
"Let's go and get you your ice-cream!", said Papi.
At the ice-cream shop...
"I want orange ice-cream, orange is healthy!", said the Little Girl.
"I don't want chocolate, chocolate is not healthy."
"And I want banana, banana is a fruit it is healthy."
"Do you have tomato ice-cream? I want a salad ice-cream."

The Little Girl climbed the ladder quickly, other kids followed her. At the top of the ladder she made a small jump on to the platform. The other kids mimicked her. The Little Girl walked on the rope bridge to the platform on the other side. The other kids followed her. At the tower the Little Girl climbed the stairs to the top of the tower. The other kids climbed the stairs as well. The Little Girl slides down the slide and the other kids follow her.
The Little Girl runs around the play castle. The other kids followed her around the play castle. the Little Girl says: "STOP!", and all the kids stop. The Little Girl shouts: "RUN!", and all the kids start running. The Little Girl shouts: "JUMP!", and all the kids jump. The Little Girl shouts "Clap you hands!", and all the kids clap their hands. The Little Girl shouts "Stomp your feet!", and all the kids stomp their feet.
The ice-cream lorry comes with its music. It is playing a pop hit. The Little Girl starts to sing the song and stomping her foot. The other kids also sing the song and stomp the foot. The Little Girl sings loud and dances like on the TV. All the other kids follow her steps and dance to the song.
The playground was now transformed into a music show. All the parents watching and enjoying. When the music stopped the kids were exhausted. All the kids cried at the parents for ice-cream. The Little Girl copycat the kids and asked Papi for ice-cream.
