📜 Story (Fiction!) 😂
It was the 4th of July in Mapleville, and twins Leo and Lily were bubbling with excitement. Their school had given them a special holiday project: decorate a giant USA map with red, white, and blue! ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๏ธ 
They unrolled the map on their living room floor. โLet's make each state sparkle!โ said Lily. โจ 
โGood idea,โ said Leo. โAnd let's add fun facts too!โ 
They started with New York. โThis is where the Statue of Liberty stands. It was a gift from France in 1886!โ Lily shared as she glued a tiny statue to the map. ๐ฝ 
Next was South Dakota. โMount Rushmore has four presidents carved into the mountainโeach face is 60 feet tall!โ said Leo as he stuck a mountain icon there. ๐๏ธ 
Texas got a cowboy hat, Florida got a dolphin, and Alaska got a polar bear. The kids laughed as they added stickers, glitter, and red stripes across the map. ๐ฌ๐ป๐ข 
โDon't forget Hawaii!โ Lily said. โIt's way out in the ocean!โ She drew a surfboard and palm tree beside it. ๐ด๐ 
After hours of work, their masterpiece was finished. Mom and Dad clapped when they saw it. โThis is more than a mapโit's a celebration!โ Mom smiled. ๐ 
Later that evening, Leo and Lily walked to the town square where a huge fireworks show was about to start. They proudly carried their colorful USA map and placed it on a display table. ๐ 
People gathered to see it. A little boy pointed at California and said, โThat's where I live!โ A girl smiled at the Florida dolphin. ๐ 
The mayor stepped up to the microphone. โThis map reminds us how all the states come together to make one big, beautiful country. Happy Independence Day!โ he cheered. ๐ค 
As the sky exploded with colors, Leo whispered, โI'm glad we live in a place that celebrates together.โ Lily nodded, โIt feels like one big family.โ ๐โค๏ธ 
And under the glowing stars and fireworks, their map sparkled just like the real USA in celebration. โจ๐บ๏ธ๐
