Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the snow, but she always got cold. One day, her mother took her shopping to buy some warm clothes.

Lily picked out a cozy red cap to keep her head warm, a matching hat to go over it, and a pair of gloves to keep her hands toasty. She also found a beautiful scarf to wrap around her neck, a warm sweater to wear under her coat, and a pretty dress to wear on special occasions.

The next day, Lily was ready to go play in the snow. She put on her cap and hat, and then she put on her gloves. She wrapped her scarf around her neck and put on her sweater. Finally, she put on her coat and headed outside.

As she was playing, she heard a strange noise. It was coming from a nearby tree. She walked over to the tree and saw a little bird that had gotten its wing stuck in a branch. Lily gently removed the bird and held it in her warm gloves. She knew she had to help the bird find its way home.

She looked around and saw a tap on the side of a nearby house. She went over to the tap, filled her hat with water, and gave the bird a drink. The bird thanked her and flew away.

Lily felt happy knowing she had helped the little bird. She continued to play in the snow, warm and cozy in her new clothes. From that day on, she always made sure to bring her hat and gloves with her when she went outside to play in the snow.

The end.
