Lisa was a little girl who liked to imagine. She had many toys, but her favorite was a rag doll. She called her doll Anna and pretended that Anna was her best friend. They would talk, play, and hug every day.
One day, Lisa's big brother Tom came into her room. He saw Lisa and Anna on the bed and laughed. "What are you doing with that old rag?" he asked. "That's not a real doll. It's ugly and dirty. You should throw it away and get a new one."
Lisa felt sad and angry. She loved Anna and did not want to lose her. She said to Tom, "Anna is not a rag. She is my friend. She is beautiful and kind. You are mean and rude. Go away and leave us alone."
Tom did not listen. He grabbed Anna and ran out of the room. He wanted to tease Lisa and make her cry. He threw Anna into the trash can outside and shouted, "Bye-bye, rag!"
Lisa ran after him and saw what he did. She screamed and cried. She tried to get Anna out of the trash, but it was too high and dirty. She felt helpless and alone.
Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw Lisa and Tom and asked what happened. Tom told her the truth and said he was sorry. He realized he was wrong and hurt Lisa's feelings. Mom scolded him and told him to apologize to Lisa and give her back Anna.
Tom said he was sorry to Lisa and lifted her up to the trash can. Lisa reached for Anna and hugged her tight. She was happy to have her friend back. She thanked Tom and forgave him.
Mom smiled and hugged them both. She said, "I'm glad you made up. You are brother and sister, and you should love and respect each other. It doesn't matter what your toys look like, as long as they make you happy. And it doesn't matter what others think, as long as you are kind and honest. Remember, the most important thing is what's in your heart."
Lisa and Tom nodded and agreed. They learned a lesson and felt sorry for their fight. They decided to play together and share their toys. They went inside and had a peaceful afternoon. Lisa and Anna were happy, and so was Tom.
