Once upon a time, there was a curious little girl named Lily who loved to play with words. One day, she found a sink, stack of books, a piece of string and a list of suffixes. She got an idea! She tied the string around the stack of books and lowered it into the sink filled with water. The string was the perfect length to reach the bottom of the sink.

Lily then took the list of suffixes and started attaching them to different words she found in the books. She made new words by adding -ly, -ness, -ful and many more suffixes. She was having so much fun that she didn't even realize when the sun had gone down and it was time for bed.

The next day, Lily went back to her sink and stack of books and continued her word play. She discovered that by adding suffixes, she could change the meaning of a word and make it into something new and exciting.

And so, Lily became known as the "word wizard" and entertained all the kids in the neighborhood with her word magic. The end.
