A young girl who feels she has nothing of her own rejoices and imagines all the things she will do with the rubber band her mother has given her.

Troubled because her brother has told her that the future of Earth is bleak, a little girl goes to her grandmother who assures her that there are many possible futures and encourages her to use her imagination to explore some of the alternatives.

A very patient father offers increasingly imaginative explanations for his child's complaints about the many things in her life that she considers unfair--like having to go to bed early.

A little boy tries to justify all his bad habits to his mother with increasing unlikely explanations.

At bath time, a boy who believes he is ready to dress and undress himself gets stuck in his clothes, then imagines what life will be like if he remains that way forever.
