Once upon a time, there was a brave little girl named Lily. She lived on a planet far, far away. One day, while playing in the park, she saw a strange spaceship land. Out stepped an alien! Though Lily was frightened at first, the alien was friendly and wanted to exchange gifts. The alien gave her a glowing crystal, and in return, Lily gave the alien a flower from her garden. They became fast friends, and the alien invited Lily to visit their spaceship. Inside, she saw amazing things and learned about different planets and galaxies. Lily knew that this was an adventure she would never forget and promised to always look up at the stars and remember her friend from outer space.

Reflections

1. How does Lily feel when she first sees the alien spaceship?
2. What do Lily and the alien exchange as gifts?
3. What does Lily learn about different planets and galaxies on the spaceship?
4. How does Lily feel about her adventure with the alien at the end of the story?
