Lily and the Blue Dress
Lily, a happy 6-year-old girl with long auburn hair, visits a thrift shop with her mum in Tennessee. She falls in love with a beautiful blue dress but soon faces obstacles that teach her the value of charity.
It was a bright spring day in Tennessee, and Lily was excited. She and her mum were going to the thrift shop. As they walked in, Lily saw the most beautiful blue dress. She wanted it more than anything. But then, she saw a little girl looking at the same dress.
Lily reached for the dress just as the little girl did. They both looked at each other. Lily's mum noticed and knelt down to talk to them. - Let's talk about this, girls, she said. - I really want this dress, Lily said, her eyes sparkling.
The little girl, named Emma, looked sad. - I was saving my money for this dress, Emma whispered. Lily felt torn. She really wanted the dress, but she saw how much Emma wanted it too. - Maybe we can find another dress, Lily's mum suggested.
Lily felt frustrated. She didn't want another dress. She wanted this one. - But Mum, this is the perfect dress! Lily exclaimed. Her mum looked at her gently. - Sometimes, sharing can bring more happiness, she said.
Lily thought about what her mum said. She remembered how happy she felt when she shared her toys with friends. - Emma, do you really love this dress? Lily asked. Emma nodded. - Yes, it's my favorite color, she said with a smile.
Lily smiled back. - You can have it, Emma, she said. Emma's face lit up with joy. Lily felt a warm feeling in her heart. As they left the shop, Lily's mum hugged her. - I'm so proud of you, she said. Lily knew she had made the right choice.
