Lily a du mal à compter

Lily, the curious bunny, loved exploring the forest with her friends. One day, while hopping around, she heard about a special riddle contest at the Spring Festival. The winner would receive a basket of fresh carrots. But there was a catch: the riddle required counting skills. Lily felt a pang of worry, for she struggled with counting.

Determined to win, Lily decided to practice counting. She started with the pebbles by the river. But as she counted, they seemed to jump around in her mind. " - Oh no, how will I ever get this right?" Lily sighed, feeling frustrated.

Lily's first obstacle came when she tried counting the apples in a tree. Her friend Benny, a clever squirrel, offered to help. " - Why not start with something simpler?" Benny suggested. Lily nodded, but the apples seemed to dance too quickly for her to keep track. " - I just can't do it," she said, her ears drooping.

Next, Lily tried counting the stars with her friend Daisy, the deer. " - Let's count them together," Daisy said kindly. But the stars twinkled in and out, and Lily lost count again. " - It's like they're playing hide and seek," she murmured.

Feeling determined, Lily decided to count the flowers in the meadow. Her friend Max, the owl, flew down to join her. " - You can do this, Lily," Max encouraged. But the flowers swayed, and Lily became dizzy trying to keep up. " - They're all a blur," she sighed.

Overwhelmed by her struggles, Lily sat by the river, contemplating giving up. " - Maybe I'm just not meant to solve the riddle," she whispered to herself. The weight of her frustration felt heavy.

Just then, an elder turtle named Wise Old Tilda approached. " - Why so glum, little one?" Tilda asked. Lily explained her troubles, and Tilda smiled gently. " - Sometimes, we need to see things from a different angle," Tilda advised.

Lily realized she could use patterns to help her count. With Tilda's guidance, she grouped the pebbles in twos and threes. " - It works!" Lily exclaimed, her eyes widening with excitement. Tilda nodded proudly, " - You see, there's always a way."

On the day of the festival, Lily confidently approached the riddle challenge. Using her new counting method, she solved the riddle with ease. " - I did it!" Lily cheered, her friends clapping around her. The prize basket of carrots was hers.

Lily learned that everyone has their own struggles, but with patience and help, they can be overcome. " - Thank you, Tilda," she said, hugging the wise turtle. Her friends gathered around, celebrating not just her victory, but the lesson of tolerance and perseverance.
