Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a big flame. The flame was very hot and bright. It was always burning and never stopped. The people in the village were sad because the flame made their houses very hot.
One day, a little girl named Lily decided to try to stop the flame. She thought the flame was selfish because it did not care about the people in the village. Lily went to the flame and asked, "Please stop, flame. You are making our houses too hot."
The flame did not want to stop. It said, "I like being big and bright. I don't want to stop." Lily was sad, but she did not give up. She went to the river and filled a bucket with water. She threw the water on the flame. The flame got smaller and smaller until it stopped.
The people in the village were very happy. Their houses were not hot anymore. They thanked Lily for being brave and helping them. The flame learned that it was not good to be selfish. From that day on, the flame only burned when the people needed it to keep warm.
