Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to play outside. One day, she found a swing in her backyard and started to swing higher and higher. Suddenly, she noticed a beautiful flower growing in the ground by the swing. She wanted to pick it, but she realized she had to dig to get it. So, with her shovel, she started to dig and dig. After a few minutes, she finally got the flower, but she was so tired that she decided to slide down the slide instead of running back to the house. The end.

Reflections

1. What did Lily do when she found the flower?
2. How did Lily feel after she got the flower?
3. Why did Lily slide instead of run?
4. Can you think of another way Lily could have gotten the flower?
