Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. They had a game where they pretended to be birds and flew around the trees. Lily was a light blue bird and Tom was a dark green bird. They made happy noises and flapped their arms.
One day, a big wind came and blew the leaves and branches. Lily and Tom tried to fly, but the wind was too strong. It pushed them back and made them fall. Tom got scared and said, "I quit! This game is too hard. I want to go home."
Lily did not want to quit. She liked the game and wanted to keep flying. She said, "Don't quit, Tom. We can do it. We have spirit. Spirit means we are brave and strong and we don't give up. Come on, let's try again."
Tom looked at Lily and saw her light blue eyes. He saw that she was not afraid of the wind. He felt a warm feeling in his chest. He said, "Okay, Lily. I will try again. You are right. We have spirit. Let's be birds again."
Lily and Tom flapped their arms and ran against the wind. They felt the wind lift them up and make them fly. They made happy noises and flew around the trees. They had fun and felt proud. They learned that spirit can help them overcome challenges and enjoy life.
