Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Emily. She woke up one morning feeling very happy because it was a beautiful day outside. She went outside to play with her friends, but then she got sad because they were not there. She started to feel angry that they didn't tell her they were going somewhere else.

Feeling tired and hungry, Emily decided to go home and take a nap. But when she got home, she was surprised to find her mother there, who told her she was sick and needed to stay in bed. Emily was afraid that she would be bored, but her mother promised to bring her books and toys to keep her entertained.

After a while, Emily started to feel better and was excited to be able to play outside again. She learned that it's important to take care of yourself when you're sick and that there are always things to do to keep from getting bored. The end.
