Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sally. She woke up one morning feeling very excited because it was her birthday. She opened her presents and was so happy when she saw that she had gotten a new doll. She played with her new doll all morning, but soon she started feeling tired.

Sally decided to take a nap, but she had a nightmare and woke up feeling scared. She didn't want to go back to sleep, so she decided to read a book. But as she read, she started feeling bored.

Sally went to the kitchen to get something to eat, but she was surprised to find that there was nothing to eat. She was so hungry that she started to feel sick.

Sally's mom came home and saw that she was feeling sad and sick. She asked her what was wrong, and Sally told her that she was hungry and tired. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, I'll make you something to eat and you can take a nap."

Sally felt better after she ate and took a nap. She was no longer tired, hungry, or sick. She was happy again and couldn't wait to play with her new doll. She learned that sometimes we have different feelings and that's okay, but with the love and care of the people around us, we can always feel better. The end.
