Lily liked to play with yarn. She had many colors of yarn in her box. She made things with yarn, like hats and scarves and dolls. She used a big needle to poke the yarn and make loops.
One day, Lily found a new yarn in her box. It was different from the other yarns. It was fuzzy and soft and shiny. It was pink and purple and blue. Lily wanted to make something with the new yarn. She took the big needle and tried to poke the yarn.
But the new yarn was hard to poke. It was too fuzzy and soft and shiny. The needle got stuck in the yarn. Lily pulled and pulled, but the needle did not come out. The yarn got tangled and messy. Lily felt sad and mad. She did not like the new yarn.
She threw the new yarn and the needle on the floor. She went to her mom and cried. Her mom hugged her and asked her what was wrong. Lily told her about the new yarn and the needle. Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That yarn is not for poking. It is for brushing. It is a special yarn for making hair for dolls. Let me show you how to use it."
Her mom took Lily back to her box. She picked up the new yarn and the needle. She untangled the yarn and brushed it with a comb. She made a long braid with the yarn. She took one of Lily's dolls and sewed the braid to its head. She gave the doll to Lily and said, "Look, Lily. You have a new doll with beautiful hair. Do you like it?"
Lily looked at the doll. It had pink and purple and blue hair. It was fuzzy and soft and shiny. It was different from the other dolls. Lily smiled and hugged the doll. She said, "Thank you, mom. I like it. It is a special doll. Can I make more hair with the new yarn?"
Her mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But remember, this yarn is for brushing, not for poking. Do you understand?"
Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. This yarn is for brushing, not for poking. I will be careful with it." She took the new yarn and the comb and went to her box. She started to make more hair for her dolls. She was happy and proud. She liked the new yarn.
