Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a little girl named Lily. Lily loved to write letters to her friends and family. One day, she went to the local stationary shop to buy some writing materials.

As she entered the shop, she saw a big sign that read, "Everything you need for writing, under one roof!" She was so excited to see all the beautiful writing materials. She walked up to the shop assistant and said, "I would like to buy an envelope, glue, pad, writing paper, and some chalk."

The shop assistant smiled and said, "Sure thing, sweetie. What size envelope do you want?"

Lily thought for a moment and said, "I want the biggest one you have!"

The shop assistant chuckled and showed her the largest envelope in the store. It was so big, it could fit a pillow inside!

Lily was thrilled and said, "That's perfect! I also want the biggest glue you have, the biggest pad, and the biggest writing paper."

The shop assistant was a little surprised but went along with it and got everything for Lily. As she was about to pay for her purchase, Lily had a sudden change of heart.

She said, "You know what, I've changed my mind. I think I want the smallest envelope, glue, pad, and writing paper you have."

The shop assistant raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you sure? You just asked for the largest one a moment ago."

Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I've decided to write a letter to an ant. I don't want the letter to be too big for him to carry."

The shop assistant couldn't help but laugh as she got the smallest writing materials for Lily. As she was leaving the shop, the shop assistant called out, "Don't forget the chalk!"

Lily turned around and said, "Oh, I don't need that. The ant can read my writing."

And with that, Lily skipped away with her tiny writing materials, ready to write a letter to an ant. The shop assistant shook her head, smiling, as she watched her leave.

From that day on, Lily's letters to the ant became famous in the village. People couldn't believe that someone could write such tiny letters with so much love and creativity.

The end.
