A long time ago, there was a little girl named Alice. She had a younger brother named, Jerry. One day, Alice and Jerry went to their aunt's house. They went downtown to buy some fruits for their aunt and uncle. Alice saw a pearl on the ground. She picked it up. Even though Alice wanted that pearl, her brother, Jerry, wanted it too. They fought for the pearl. The fruits trundled to the ground. There was a strong breeze, and neither Alice nor Jerry could stand still. A few minutes later, Alice opened her eyes and looked around. It was just a dream.
