Bartey and the Balloons

Bartey was so excited to go to the market with his Mama. He loved the colors and sounds of the busy place. But today, he saw something special. Bright, colorful balloons were scattered all over the market! Bartey really wanted all those balloons. " - Mama, I want to collect all the balloons!" Bartey said.

Bartey spotted a shiny green balloon near the apple cart. " - Look, Mama! A green balloon!" he exclaimed. But just as he reached out, the balloon flew higher. Bartey tried jumping but couldn't grab it. " - Oh no, it's too high!" Bartey cried. Mama encouraged him, " - Don't give up, Bartey!"

Bartey found a red balloon near the watermelons, but a gust of wind blew it away. He saw a yellow balloon near the spices, but it was tangled in the strings. " - It's so hard to reach them!" Bartey sighed. He spotted a blue balloon near the cotton candy, but it was sticky. " - Why is it so difficult?" Bartey wondered aloud.

After so many tries, Bartey felt tired and sad. " - Maybe I should just give up," he thought. He sat down and looked at the balloons flying away. " - I really wanted them," Bartey whispered to himself. Mama sat beside him, " - It's okay to feel tired, Bartey."

Then, Mama had an idea. " - Bartey, what if we work together?" she suggested. They made a plan to gently gather the balloons one by one. " - We can do it, Bartey," Mama encouraged. With Mama's help, Bartey started collecting balloons again with renewed hope. " - I can do it!" Bartey cheered.

Finally, Bartey collected all the balloons he wanted. " - I did it, Mama!" he shouted happily. As they walked home, Bartey thought of his sister. " - I will give some balloons to Lily," he said. When they reached home, Bartey shared the balloons with Lily. He felt proud and wise for sharing his happiness.
