Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a ball and a car. She gave them all names. The doll was Anna, the bear was Ben, the ball was Coco and the car was Dan. She liked to make them talk and have fun.
One day, Lily was playing with her toys in her room. She pretended that Anna and Ben were having a tea party, and Coco and Dan were racing around the floor. She made them say hello and bye and thank you and please. She was having a lot of fun.
But then, she heard her mom call her from the kitchen. "Lily, it's time for lunch!" her mom said. Lily put her toys down and ran to the kitchen. She was hungry. She saw her mom had made her a sandwich and some soup. She said thank you and sat down to eat.
She took a bite of her sandwich. It was good. She liked cheese and ham. She took a sip of her soup. It was hot. She blew on it to cool it down. She took another sip. It was spicy. She made a face and said, "Mom, this soup is spicy!"
Her mom smiled and said, "I know, honey. I put some pepper in it. Do you like it?" Lily shook her head and said, "No, mom. I don't like spicy. It makes my tongue hurt." Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I thought you might like to try something new. Here, have some water and some fruit. They will make your tongue feel better."
Lily drank some water and ate some fruit. They did make her tongue feel better. She finished her lunch and said, "Mom, can I go back to play with my toys?" Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But first, you need to take a nap. You look tired. Naps are good for you. They make you grow and dream."
Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will take a nap. But can I take my toys with me?" Her mom said, "Sure, you can. But only one. Which one do you want?" Lily thought for a moment and said, "I want Ben. He is soft and cuddly. He will keep me warm and safe." Her mom said, "OK, then. Take Ben and go to your bed. I will tuck you in and read you a story."
Lily took Ben and went to her bed. Her mom tucked her in and read her a story. It was about a princess and a dragon. Lily liked the story. She hugged Ben and closed her eyes. She fell asleep and had a dream. She dreamed that she and Ben were flying on the dragon. They saw Anna, Coco and Dan waving at them from the ground. They waved back and smiled. They were happy.
