Lily In Paris
Lily, a curious six-year-old girl, embarks on a family trip to Paris. As she explores the beautiful city, she encounters a problem that tests her tolerance and understanding of different cultures.
Lily was excited to visit Paris with her family. She wanted to see the Eiffel Tower, eat croissants, and meet new friends. But on their first day, she noticed something strange. Some kids at the park didn't want to play with her. They spoke a different language and looked different. Lily felt sad and confused.
Lily tried to join the kids' games, but they didn't understand her. She felt left out and lonely. She ran to her mom with tears in her eyes. - Why don't they want to play with me? Lily asked. - Maybe they are just shy, her mom replied. - But they look different and speak funny, Lily said.
The next day, Lily and her family visited a bakery. Lily tried to say 'bonjour,' but the baker didn't understand her. - Why can't they understand me? Lily asked. Her dad explained, - People in Paris speak French. - But I don't know French, Lily said. - That's okay, we can learn together, her dad smiled.
Lily felt frustrated. She wanted to give up on making friends in Paris. - I don't think I'll ever fit in here, Lily sighed. Her mom hugged her. - Sometimes it takes time to understand new places and people. - But I miss home, Lily said. Her mom replied, - Let's give it one more try, okay?
The family went to a park where they saw a puppet show. Lily watched closely and laughed. After the show, a girl named Amélie came up to her. - Bonjour, I'm Amélie, she said. Lily smiled and said, - Hi, I'm Lily. They didn't understand each other completely, but they started playing.
Lily and Amélie played every day. They taught each other words in their languages. Lily learned 'merci' and 's'il vous plaît.' Amélie learned 'please' and 'thank you.' Lily realized that even though they were different, they could still be friends. She felt happy and proud.
