Once upon a time, in a very sunny house, lived two best friends. Their names were Shibl and Faisl. Shibl had a big smile. Faisl had loud laugh.
Ha ha ha! They loved to play together. But today was a special day. Today was a superhero day!
Zoom! Whoosh! Shibl put on his blue cape. Swish!
Faisl put on his red cape. They stood tall. They stood strong. 'We are the Super Helpers!
'said Shibl. 'Yes! 'said Faisl. 'We help everyone!
'Suddenly, they heard a tiny sound. Sniff, sniff. It was Mommy. She looked sad.
Her eyebrows went down. 'Oh no,'said Mommy. 'I made a big, yummy cookie for a snack. But now it is gone!
'Shibl and Faisl looked at each other. Their eyes went wide. 'A mystery! 'said Shibl.
'A mission! 'said Faisl. 'To the Super Hero Lab! 'They ran to their room.
Stomp, stomp, stomp. They sat on their soft rug. 'We must find the cookie,'said Shibl. 'But we must be honest,'said Faisl.
'Superheroes always tell the truth. ''Yes,'said Shibl. 'The truth is the best way. 'First, they looked under the bed.
Peekaboo! No cookie there. Just a dusty bunny. Then they looked in the toy box.
Rattle, clank. No cookie there. Just blocks and cars. Then they looked in the closet.
Rustle, rustle. No cookie there. Just coats and hats. 'Where could it be?
'asked Shibl. He scratched his head. 'I do not know,'said Faisl. He tapped his chin.
Can you guess where they looked next? They went to the kitchen. Squeak, squeak went their shoes on the floor. Mommy was sitting there.
She looked at them. 'Did you find the cookie? 'she asked. Shibl felt funny in his tummy.
Wibble, wobble. He knew something. He saw Faisl look at the floor. Faisl looked worried.
His face was red. Faisl had crumbs on his shirt! Oh my! 'Faisl,'whispered Shibl.
'You have crumbs. 'Faisl looked at his shirt. Oh no. He ate the cookie!
Faisl felt scared. He did not want Mommy to be mad. But then he remembered.
Superheroes are brave. Superheroes tell the truth. Faisl took a deep breath. In and out.
He looked at Mommy. He looked at Shibl. 'I ate the cookie,'said Faisl. His voice was small.
'I am sorry. 'Shibl smiled. He gave Faisl a big hug. Squeeze!
'Thank you for telling the truth,'said Shibl. 'That was brave. 'Mommy smiled too. Her sadness went away.
'Thank you for being honest, Faisl,'she said. 'I am not angry. I am proud of you. 'Faisl felt happy again.
His heart felt light. Like a balloon floating in the sky. 'We solved the mystery! 'said Shibl.
'We did! 'said Faisl. 'And we learned a lesson. ''What is the lesson?
'asked Mommy. Shibl jumped up. 'Always tell the truth! 'he shouted.
Faisl jumped up too. 'Even when it is hard! 'he shouted. They did a superhero dance.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. Mommy clapped her hands. Clap, clap, clap. 'Since you were honest,'said Mommy.
'We can make new cookies together. Yummy ones with sprinkles! ''Yay! 'cheered Shibl.
'Yay! 'cheered Faisl. They put on their aprons. Shibl had a green apron.
Faisl had a yellow apron. They mixed the bowl. Swirl, swirl, swirl. They added the sprinkles.
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle. The cookies went into the oven. Beep, beep. Soon, the kitchen smelled sweet.
Sniff, sniff. The cookies were done. They ate the warm cookies. Yum, yum, crunch.
Shibl and Faisl looked at each other. They were full. They were happy. And they were honest.
The best superheroes in the whole world. The end.
