Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who lived near a big garage. She loved to play in the garage and watch the cars go by. One day, while playing in the garage, she saw a ticket on the ground. She picked it up and read it. It was a ticket for a helicopter tour of the city!

Lily was so excited. She had never been in a helicopter before. She quickly ran to her parents to show them the ticket. They were just as excited as she was and they all went to the helicopter tour together.

As they flew over the city, they saw many amazing sights, including a beautiful bridge. The pilot pointed out all the sights and even let Lily sit in the pilot's seat for a while. She felt like a real pilot!

After the tour, they took a bus back home. Lily couldn't stop talking about her journey in the helicopter. She was so grateful for the amazing experience and promised herself that she would never forget it.

From that day on, whenever she saw a helicopter, she would think back to her journey and smile. She learned that sometimes the best things in life come from unexpected places, like a ticket she found in a garage.

The end.
