Khan Academy Kids Stories have three parts. A beginning, a middle, and an end. Let's look at each of those parts in this book. A Problem at Night The beginning of the story introduces us to the characters and prepares us for the big problem of the story. Before bed, Kazzy always brushed her teeth, then grabbed her favorite stuffed animal, Ellie. In the middle of the story, the characters face a problem. But today, Kazzy can't find Ellie. Kazzy begins to worry. The end tells us how the problem was solved and how the characters changed. Finally, Kazzy calms herself down and remembers where Ellie is, under her pillow. That was a great ending. Good night, Kazzy! Let's look at the beginning, middle, and end of the book. Friendship Takes Time Tap on the passage to hear the beginning of the story read out loud.
