Seeley and the Big Red Rocket

Seeley loved playing in her big backyard. Her favorite toy was a red plastic rocket. One sunny day, she had a big idea. " - I will build a real big red rocket to go to the moon!" she said. But there was a problem. Seeley didn't know how to build a real rocket.

Seeley gathered all her toys to build the rocket. " - Let's see, I need wheels, wings, and a big engine!" she thought. But her toy blocks weren't enough. The wheels kept falling off. Seeley frowned. " - How will I reach the moon without strong wheels?" she sighed.

The next day, Seeley tried to make the rocket's body. " - I need something big and red," she said. She found a red bucket, but it was too small. Then, a cloud covered the sun, and it started to rain. All her parts got wet and slippery. " - Oh no, my rocket!" Seeley cried.

Seeley sat under the porch, feeling sad. " - Maybe I can't build a rocket after all," she whispered. Her toys lay scattered, the red rocket dream fading. " - Why is it so hard to go to the moon?" she wondered. Her heart felt heavy, and she thought about giving up.

Just then, Seeley's wise old cat, Whiskers, came by. He rubbed against her leg and purred. " - Don't give up, Seeley," he seemed to say. Suddenly, Seeley had an idea. " - I can use my big toy box for the rocket's body!" she exclaimed. Whiskers had shown her wisdom.

With Whiskers' help, Seeley rebuilt the rocket. She used her toy box for the body and found a big umbrella for the wings. " - This will work!" she cheered. The rocket was strong and red, ready for the moon. " - Thank you, Whiskers!" Seeley laughed, feeling wise and happy.
