Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to have fun. She had a big book full of pictures and stories that she loved to read and imagine. But one day, she felt like doing something different and decided to go out to play.

She saw a painter painting a beautiful picture on a wall and a singer singing a sweet song on the street corner. Lily was so inspired by their talents that she wanted to try it too. So she went to the store and got some paint and cards to make her own paintings.

She painted a picture of a bird and a tree, and then she sang a song she made up. People passing by stopped to admire her artwork and listen to her sing. They even gave her money for her efforts!

Lily was so happy and proud of herself. She realized that she could be a painter and a singer too, just like the ones she saw before. From that day on, she practiced every day and became a famous painter and singer.

The end.
