Once upon a time, there was a big stone. The stone had a harsh face, but it was not mean. It liked to help people. It lived in a park where kids liked to play.
One day, a little girl came to the park. She had a book with her. She sat down by the stone and started to read. The stone was happy to see the girl read. It liked to watch her.
As the girl read, the sun started to go away. The wind became cold. The girl was cold too, but she did not want to stop reading. The stone saw this and wanted to help. So, the stone made its harsh face into a warm smile. The girl felt warm and cozy. She read and read until it was time to go home. The girl said "thank you" to the stone and gave it a big hug.
