Once upon a time, there was a magical garden where flowers bloomed all year round. One day, a little girl named Lily went to the garden to pick some flowers for her mother. She picked the most beautiful flowers she could find and placed them on a plate.

When she was ready to go home, she realized she had forgotten to bring a knife to cut the stems. She looked around and saw a shiny knife lying on the ground. She picked it up and used it to cut the stems of the flowers.

She then went to her mother's house and set the table with a plate, fork, spoon, glass and cloth. She also placed a napkin next to each setting. Everyone sat down and admired the beautiful flowers while they enjoyed their meal.

After dinner, they all helped clean up the table and put away the dishes. The end.

Reflections

1. What did Lily forget to bring with her to the garden?
2. How did Lily cut the stems of the flowers?
3. What did Lily use to set the table?
4. What happened after dinner in the story?
5. Can you think of a different ending for the story?
