Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lulu who loved spending time in her yard. One day, as she was playing in the garden, she stumbled upon a shiny needle. Excited to show her mother, she picked it up and put it in her pocket.

As she continued to play, Lulu suddenly remembered that she needed to make an important phone call using the telephone in the pool house. She ran over to the pool house, but to her surprise, she found that the door was locked!

Determined to make her phone call, Lulu started to think of a plan. She remembered that she had the needle in her pocket and decided to try and pick the lock. To her surprise, it worked! The door to the pool house swung open and Lulu made a beeline for the telephone.

As she picked up the receiver, she heard a strange noise coming from the other end of the line. It was a little bird who had flown into the pool house and was now stuck in the telephone! Lulu giggled at the silly bird, who was chirping away and saying, "Hello? Hello?"

Feeling brave, Lulu reached into the telephone and gently pulled out the little bird. She held it in her hands and could feel its tiny heart beating fast. "Don't worry, little bird," she said, "I'll get you back to your garden."

And that's exactly what she did. Lulu carefully placed the bird back in the garden, where it could fly free and chirp to its heart's content. From that day on, Lulu always remembered to be careful of what she found in her yard and to always be ready for a silly adventure.
