Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. But today, they have a quiz at school. The quiz is about animals and their names.
Lily is good at the quiz. She knows the names of many animals. She says, "This is a cat. It says meow. This is a dog. It says woof. This is a cow. It says moo."
Tom is stubborn. He does not like the quiz. He thinks the names of the animals are silly. He says, "This is not a cat. It is a fur-ball. This is not a dog. It is a bark-machine. This is not a cow. It is a milk-factory."
The teacher is not happy with Tom. She says, "Tom, you have to learn the names of the animals. They are not fur-balls, bark-machines, or milk-factories. They are cat, dog, and cow. Why are you so stubborn?"
Tom shrugs. He says, "I like my names better. They are more fun. And I do not want to do the quiz. I want to play."
Lily shakes her head. She says, "Tom, you are silly. The quiz is easy and fun. And you have to do it. Or you will get in trouble. And you will not learn new things. Come on, try again. What is this?"
She points to a picture of a bird. Tom looks at it. He thinks for a moment. Then he says, "This is a bird. It says tweet."
Lily smiles. She says, "Good job, Tom. You see, you can do it. Now, what is this?"
She points to a picture of a fish. Tom looks at it. He says, "This is a fish. It says blub."
Lily claps. She says, "Very good, Tom. You are getting better. Now, what is this?"
She points to a picture of a lion. Tom looks at it. He says, "This is a lion. It says roar."
Lily cheers. She says, "Wow, Tom. You are amazing. You know all the names of the animals. You are not stubborn anymore. You are smart and brave."
Tom smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You helped me with the quiz. You are kind and patient."
The teacher smiles too. She says, "Well done, Lily and Tom. You both did a great job with the quiz. You learned the names of the animals. And you learned to work together. You are both stars."
Lily and Tom hug. They say, "We are stars. And we are friends."
