    One sunny day, Lily was playing on the rainbow bridge in the playground. She noticed a new girl watching her play and invited her over.

    The new girl, Ana, shyly joined Lily. Ana was from Mexico and had just moved to Lily's town. They soon became friends, playing and sharing stories.

    The next day, Lily and Ana's teacher, Mr. Johnson, announced that they would be learning about different cultures. The girls were excited to share their cultures.

    After school, the girls gathered their friends at the playground. They decided to create a 'Culture Day' where everyone could share their traditions.

    Their friends, a diverse group of kids, were enthusiastic about the idea. They all agreed to bring something representative of their culture the next day.

    The next day, the playground was filled with excitement. Each child had brought something from their culture, ranging from food to traditional attire.
