Read the story Easy English
One morning, five-year-old Lisa wakes up early when the sky is blue and feels ready for a busy day. She washes her face, brushes her teeth, puts on her police hat and uniform, and looks in the mirror feeling strong and calm. In her playroom, Lisa sets up a police station with a desk and a chair for her teddy bear and doll. She sees a toy car on the floor blocking the way, so she moves it to the side to keep the road clear and safe.
Later, Lisa hears a soft cry from her doll, who looks worried because she cannot find her bag. Lisa kneels down, speaks gently, and looks under the table until she finds the bag. Her doll smiles, and Lisa feels happy to help. In the afternoon, Lisa goes outside with her mom and sees a real police officer on the street helping people cross the road safely while cars move slowly.
At night, Lisa lies in her bed thinking about how she cleared the road, found her doll's bag, and helped someone feel better. She learns that police officers watch carefully, help people, and keep everyone safe. Feeling proud and safe, Lisa closes her eyes and peacefully goes to sleep.
