The sun was shining brightly in the sky one day. Two little kids, Lily and Ben, were playing outside in the garden. They were giggling and having a great time together.
Suddenly, Ben had an idea. He said, "let's play a game. I'll tell a joke and you have to guess the answer!" Lily smiled and agreed. So Ben started to tell his joke: "why did the lily cross the road?".
Lily thought for a moment then said, "I don't know!" Ben replied, "because it was intelligent!" and he started to laugh.
When Lily heard him, she smiled too. She realised that it was important to be clever, to think things through and not just rush into something without thinking first.
"Wow, that was a good lesson," said Lily. "Yes it was," Ben agreed happily.
The two of them smiled at each other, understanding that being intelligent makes a big difference in life.
