Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lucy. She had a big red ball that she liked to play with every day. Lucy liked to throw the ball up in the air and catch it. One day, she threw the ball up very high, and it went up, up, up into the sky. Lucy was so excited that she jumped up and down.
As the ball started to fall back down, Lucy tried to catch it, but she missed. The ball fell on the ground and rolled away. Lucy felt sad and a little stupid because she could not catch the ball. She started to look for it, and she walked and walked until she found it near a big tree.
But when Lucy got to the tree, she saw something unexpected. There was a little squirrel holding her ball! The squirrel looked at Lucy and then threw the ball up in the air. Lucy caught the ball this time. The squirrel clapped and smiled. Lucy was so happy, and she played catch with the squirrel all day long.
