Lily did not like yellow clothes. She liked pink and purple and blue. But today, her mom gave her a yellow dress to wear. Lily did not want to wear it. She said, "No, no, no! I do not like yellow!"
Her mom said, "Lily, you have to wear this dress. It is a gift from your grandma. She made it for you with love. She will be very sad if you do not wear it."
Lily did not care. She threw the dress on the floor and ran to her room. She cried and cried. She did not want to wear the yellow dress.
Her mom followed her and knocked on the door. She said, "Lily, please open the door. I want to talk to you."
Lily opened the door. She saw her mom holding the yellow dress. She said, "Go away! I do not want to see that dress!"
Her mom said, "Lily, I know you do not like yellow. But you have to be kind and grateful. Your grandma worked very hard to make this dress for you. She loves you very much. She wants you to be happy. How do you think she will feel if you do not wear it?"
Lily thought for a moment. She remembered her grandma. She remembered how she hugged her and kissed her and gave her cookies. She remembered how she read her stories and sang her songs. She loved her grandma very much. She did not want to make her sad.
Lily said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was very rude. I will wear the yellow dress. I love grandma. I want to make her happy."
Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "I'm proud of you, Lily. You are a good girl. You learned to resist your own feelings and think of others. That is a very important lesson. Come on, let's go and see grandma. She will be very happy to see you in the yellow dress."
Lily put on the yellow dress. She looked at herself in the mirror. She still did not like yellow. But she liked her grandma more. She smiled and said, "Let's go, mom. I'm ready."
