Exemplary Response:
Once upon a time in a vibrant forest, a kind fairy named Lila fluttered her delicate wings, which sparkled
like the morning dew. The sun shone brightly, casting a warm golden glow over the lush green leaves.
Lila's favorite time of day was when the flowers bloomed, filling the air with a sweet, honey-like scent that
danced in the gentle breeze.
One day, Lila decided to help a lost rabbit named Benny. Benny's soft, fluffy fur felt like a warm hug, and
his big, round eyes glistened with worry. As Lila approached him, she could hear the rustling of leaves
and the cheerful chirping of birds, creating a symphony of sounds that made her heart smile.
Together, they ventured deeper into the woods, where they discovered a hidden clearing. The grass was
cool and inviting under their feet, and the colorful wildflowers swayed gently, whispering secrets of the
forest. With each step, Lila and Benny felt the magic of friendship growing, as bright as the sun above
them.
Non-Exemplary Response:
Once there was a fairy and a rabbit. The fairy was nice and the rabbit was lost. They went through the
forest. The forest was big and had trees. The fairy helped the rabbit. They found a place and were friends.
The sun was shining. The rabbit was soft. They walked a lot. It was good. Then they were happy. The end.
