Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who was a vegetarian. She loved to decorate her house and make it look festive for every holiday. So, when Thanksgiving came, she was very excited. She and her family were going to have a potluck with their friends and all bring a dish to share.

Lily wanted to make something special for the potluck, so she decided to make a delicious dressing. She gathered all the ingredients she needed and started cooking. Unfortunately, she got so caught up in decorating her house that she forgot about the dressing on the stove. It burned, and she had nothing to bring to the potluck.

She was worried she would starve because she didn't eat meat, but her friends came to the rescue. They had brought so much food that there was more than enough for everyone, even without Lily's contribution. Lily was grateful and thankful for her friends. They all sat down to enjoy their meal and give thanks for their blessings.

The end.
