One day, a small girl named Lily was playing in her room. She was nervous because her mom told her not to make a mess. Lily wanted to play with her toys, but she didn't want to make her mom upset.
Lily had an idea. She picked up her toy phone and called her friend, Teddy. "Teddy," she said, "I want to play, but I don't want to make a mess. Can you help me?" Teddy, who was a very smart bear, said, "Yes, Lily. I have an idea. Let's play a game where we pick up the toys as we play. That way we won't make a mess."
Lily liked Teddy's idea, so they started to play. As they played, they made sure to put the toys back where they found them. Lily was very happy and she gave Teddy a big hug. Her mom came into the room and saw that it was clean. She smiled and said, "Good job, Lily. I'm proud of you for not making a mess." Lily's lip yielded a big smile, and she knew that she could have fun while still listening to her mom.
