Three Real Life Scenarios

He says, "I am being satisfied to have a tidy space." Mia offers cookies to neighbors. Leo sits on his clean floor. Both feel good.
Scene three happens at the park. Mia rides her bike without training wheels. She zooms down the path. She shouts, "I am being proud to ride so fast!" Leo finds a smooth rock. He skips it across the pond. He says, "I am being satisfied to skip stones well." Mia rings her bell. Leo watches the ripples. Both enjoy success.
