Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there was a little girl named Lily. Lily loved going on adventures and exploring new places. One day, she decided to visit the local amusement park. She was so excited to go on all the rides and play games.

As she was walking through the park, she suddenly heard a loud noise. It was raining! And of course, Lily had forgotten her umbrella at home. She didn't want to get wet and spoil her fun, so she decided to go to the ticket booth and buy an umbrella.

When she reached the ticket booth, she asked the lady there, "Excuse me, can I please have an umbrella?" The lady smiled and said, "Of course, little one. But you need a ticket to buy one."

Lily was confused. "A ticket for an umbrella? I've never heard of such a thing." The lady chuckled and said, "Yes, my dear. It's our latest invention. Every time it rains, we sell umbrellas and the money goes to help the animals at the park."

Lily was so touched by the kind heartedness of the lady, she immediately wanted to buy a ticket. She reached into her pocket and realized she had left her money at home. She felt so sad and was about to cry.

Just then, the lady said, "Don't worry, my dear. You can have the umbrella for free. Just promise me that you'll remember this number: 3, 4, 7. It's my lucky number and I believe it will bring you good luck on your adventures."

Lily was so grateful and couldn't stop thanking the lady. She took the umbrella and ran off to have the best time at the park, protected from the rain. She never forgot the lady's kind act and the lucky number she was given. And from that day on, whenever she needed a little bit of luck, she would always remember the number 3, 4, 7.

The End.
