Look! A big, bright kingdom! Green grass. Blue sky. And tiny stars that twinkle, twinkle, twinkle—even in the daytime! Can you see them?
Here comes King Doodle Bum! He has a big golden crown and a long swooshy cape. He loves chocolate—yum, yum, yum! Today he wants to play.
And look who is here! It is Zibloo! Zibloo is a silly little alien with big sparkly eyes. Zibloo loves stars. "Ooooh!" says Zibloo. "Stars in the grass!"
In the middle of the field sits a big red ball. It is round and bouncy. King Doodle Bum runs to it. "I will kick it!" he says. "I will kick it all by myself!"
King Doodle Bum runs and runs. He kicks! He misses! Whoops! Down he tumbles—bumpity bump bump! Oh no! He tries again. Kick! Miss! Tumble! Bumpity bump bump!
Zibloo does a wobbly alien dance. Wiggle, wiggle, wobble! "You can do it!" cheers Zibloo. "Try again! Trying your best is so, so good!"
King Doodle Bum tries one more time. Kick! Miss! Bumpity bump bump! He sits on the grass. "It is too hard," he says. His crown is all crooked.
Zibloo waddles over. "Friends help friends!" says Zibloo. "You kick. I catch. We play together!" When something feels hard, it helps to ask a friend.
King Doodle Bum stands up. He fixes his crown. He takes a deep breath. Ready? One… two… three… KICK!
The big red ball goes up, up, UP! It flies into the sky! Zibloo jumps and catches it—boing! "We did it!" they cheer. "HOORAY!" Playing together feels so, so good!
They kick and catch, kick and catch! Wiggle, wiggle, wobble! Boing, boing, boing! Trying your best and helping each other—that is the best game of all.
Now the sky turns soft and pink. King Doodle Bum and Zibloo sit on the soft grass, side by side. The stars twinkle above. "What game will we play tomorrow?" whispers Zibloo. King Doodle Bum smiles. Tomorrow is full of new games to try—together.
