Lily liked to draw in her notebook. She drew flowers, stars, animals and people. She used many colors and made her pictures pretty. She was happy when she drew.
One day, she took her notebook to the park. She wanted to draw the trees and the birds. She found a nice spot under a big tree and opened her notebook. But she saw something that made her sad. Someone had scribbled on her pictures with a black pen. They had made ugly lines and dots over her flowers, stars, animals and people. Lily felt angry and sad. Who did this to her notebook?
She looked around and saw a boy sitting on a bench. He had a black pen in his hand and a smirk on his face. He was eating a cookie. Lily wondered if he was the one who ruined her notebook. She walked up to him and asked him.
"Did you scribble on my notebook?" she said.
The boy looked at her and laughed. He said, "Yes, I did. Your pictures are silly and boring. I made them better. Do you want a cookie? They are yummy."
Lily felt more angry and sad. She did not want his cookie. She wanted her pictures back. She said, "No, I don't want your cookie. You are mean and rude. You should say sorry and give me a new notebook."
The boy said, "No, I won't say sorry and I won't give you a new notebook. This is my cookie and this is your notebook. You can't have them. Go away."
Lily did not go away. She grabbed his cookie and threw it on the ground. She said, "This is what you get for scribbling on my notebook. You can't have your cookie. Go away."
The boy was shocked and angry. He said, "Hey, that's my cookie. You can't do that. Give it back."
He tried to grab the cookie, but Lily was faster. She ran away with her notebook. She said, "No, I won't give it back. You can't have it. Go away."
She ran to her mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby. She showed her mom her notebook and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That boy was very mean and rude. He should not have scribbled on your notebook. Your pictures are very pretty and I'm proud of you. Do you want to go home and get a new notebook?"
Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. I want to go home and get a new notebook. And maybe a cookie. A yummy cookie."
Her mom smiled and said, "Okay, let's go home and get a new notebook and a cookie. A yummy cookie."
They walked home, holding hands. Lily felt better. She still liked to draw in her notebook. She drew more flowers, stars, animals and people. She used many colors and made her pictures pretty. She was happy when she drew.
