Once upon a time, it was a beautiful spring day. A little girl named Lily was very excited because she had a date with her mom on Monday. They both planned to spend the whole day together. On Monday morning, they woke up early and went to the park to enjoy the moment. They played, laughed, and danced in the sun. Then, they went to a nearby restaurant for lunch. After lunch, they went shopping and bought some new clothes.

Lily's mom had to work during the week, so she only had weekends off. But this Monday was special because she took the day off to spend it with her daughter. Monday was also a day off for Lily because she was still too young to go to school.

As the day went by, they both were having so much fun that they didn't realize how many hours had passed. They finally decided to head back home just in time for dinner. They sat down at the table, ate their dinner and talked about the amazing day they had.

Lily was sad that Monday had come to an end, but she knew that she had another special day coming soon – Sunday! She went to bed happy, dreaming of all the fun things she would do with her mom on Sunday. The end.
