Lily loved to play with her hoop. She would roll it, jump through it, and spin it around her waist. She had a big hoop that was pink and shiny, and she took it everywhere she went.
One day, she went to the park with her mom and her hoop. She saw some other kids playing with balls, bikes, and dolls. She wanted to join them, but they did not want to play with her hoop. They said it was boring and silly. They laughed at her and told her to go away.
Lily felt very sad. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "Mom, why don't they like my hoop? It is my favorite toy. I dream of being a hoop star someday."
Her mom smiled and wiped her tears. She said, "Lily, don't listen to them. They are not very nice. Your hoop is a wonderful toy. You can do so many things with it. You can be a hoop star if you work hard and have fun. Don't let anyone stop you from following your dreams."
Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are right. I love my hoop and I love my dreams. I will not let anyone make me sad." She hugged her mom and ran back to the park. She played with her hoop and had a great time. She saw some other kids who liked her hoop and wanted to play with her. She made some new friends and shared her hoop with them. She was very happy.
The moral of the story is: Don't let others discourage you from doing what you love and pursuing your dreams. Be confident and kind, and you will find people who appreciate you and your talents.
