There’s a stone in my pocket, and it’s weighing me down.
Tilly tried to jump and play, but the stone kept pulling her down. She watched her friends fly their kites high in the sky, while she sat on the ground. Tilly's friend Mia came over and asked, - Why aren't you playing, Tilly? Tilly sighed, - I can't, this stone is too heavy. Mia looked puzzled, not understanding the weight of Tilly's stone.
Tilly tried to hide the stone under her pillow, hoping it would disappear. But the next day, it was still there, heavy as ever. She tried to leave it at home, but the sadness stayed with her. At school, Tilly couldn't focus, and even her favorite class felt dull. Her teacher asked, - Is everything okay, Tilly? Tilly just shook her head, feeling more alone than ever.
Tilly felt like nothing would ever be the same again. She was tired of trying and failing to feel happy. One rainy afternoon, she sat by her window and watched the raindrops race down the glass. - Maybe I should just give up, she thought quietly. But deep down, Tilly knew she had to find a way to carry the stone.
One day, Tilly's grandma visited and noticed her sadness. She sat down with Tilly and asked, - What's troubling you, dear? Tilly showed her the stone and explained how heavy it felt. Grandma smiled gently, - It's okay to have sad days, but remember, you're strong enough to carry it. Tilly's heart felt lighter with her grandma's words.
With her grandma's advice, Tilly began to see the stone differently. She realized it was a part of her, but it didn't have to stop her from playing. Tilly joined her friends at the park, holding the stone tightly but feeling lighter. - Look, Tilly's back! her friends cheered. Tilly laughed, feeling the joy she thought she had lost, knowing she was strong enough to carry the stone and still have fun.
