Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a huge red apple on a tree. They wanted to eat it.
"Let's get the apple!" Tom said. "It looks yummy!"
They climbed the tree and reached for the apple. But they were not alone. A big squirrel was also on the tree. It saw the apple too.
"Go away, squirrel!" Lily said. "The apple is ours!"
The squirrel did not listen. It ran to the apple and bit it. It made a loud crunch.
"Hey, that's not fair!" Tom said. "You are mean!"
The squirrel did not care. It bit the apple again and again. It liked the taste. It was sweet and juicy.
Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They wanted to bite the apple too. But the squirrel was too fast and greedy. It ate the whole apple and left nothing for them.
"Bad squirrel!" Lily and Tom said. "You are a thief!"
The squirrel did not say sorry. It jumped to another tree and looked for more apples. It was happy and full.
Lily and Tom climbed down the tree. They felt hungry and disappointed. They looked for another fruit to eat. But they did not find any.
"Maybe we can find a banana or a grape," Tom said.
"Or a cookie or a cake," Lily said.
They walked away from the tree. They hoped to find something tasty and huge. But they did not forget the squirrel and the apple. They learned a lesson. They learned to share.
