Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to play outside in the rain. One day, she got so caught up in splashing in puddles that she didn't notice her coat was getting covered in mud. When she finally looked down, she saw that her once-white coat was now covered in brown stains.
She was worried that her parents would be mad, but then she remembered something her grandma had told her: "It's just clothing, and it can always be cleaned."
Lily went inside and found a bottle of stain remover in her grandma's closet. She carefully applied it to each stain and watched as it disappeared.
Feeling proud of herself for fixing her coat, Lily put it back on and headed outside to play some more. But as she was running around, she realized she had lost one of her pockets. She searched all over but couldn't find it.
Just then, Lily noticed that one of the neighborhood dogs was running around with something shiny in its mouth. It turned out to be her missing pocket!
Lily gently took the pocket from the dog and thanked it for taking such good care of it. She was so happy that she gave the dog a big hug and ran home to sew the pocket back onto her coat. From that day on, Lily always made sure to check her pockets before leaving the house.
The end.
