Here are three easy ways to say the same idea. Each sentence keeps the meaning but uses different words:

  1. The skunk stays behind its stinky cloud.
  2. The skunk hides inside the smelly puff it made.
  3. The skunk crouches behind the little smelly cloud.

How I made these changes (step by step):

  1. Pick different words that a 7-year-old knows: hidesstays, crouches.
  2. Keep the idea of the smelly spray but use friendlier words: smelly cloudstinky cloud, smelly puff.
  3. Try different sentence shapes so they sound a little different but mean the same thing.

If you want, I can make them sillier or more serious—tell me which!
