Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who was allergic to peanuts. She had to be extra careful about what she ate because even a tiny bit of peanut could make her face swell up and cause her to wheeze.

One day, Lily and her family went to a restaurant for dinner. Lily always brought her medicine with her, just in case. When she asked the waiter about the ingredients in the dishes, he told her that he wasn’t sure and suggested she check the label.

Lily was disappointed because she couldn't find a dish she could eat safely. Just then, her mother had an idea. She asked the chef if he could make a special dish for Lily without peanuts. The chef was happy to help, and soon Lily was enjoying a delicious and safe meal.

From then on, whenever Lily went to a restaurant, she made sure to check the labels or ask the waiter about the ingredients. With her medicine by her side and her knowledge of what to look for, she never had to worry about having a reaction again.

The end.
