Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily who loved to take care of her flowers. She had a beautiful vase in front of her window where she kept all of her favorite flowers. One day, while she was trying to show her friends the vase, she accidentally dropped it. The vase shattered into pieces and the flowers went everywhere. Lily was so upset that she started to cry. But then she remembered to be careful and not drop anything else. She decided to send some of the flowers to her friends to make up for what happened. She carefully took the flowers and put them in a new vase. She then went outside to deliver the vase to her friends and they were all very happy to receive them. From that day on, Lily made sure to always be careful when handling her vases and flowers.
