 
Once upon a time, there lived a little girl. Every day, she liked to go outside and play. One day, she saw an onion lying on the ground. She went over to take a closer look. It was soft and yellow on the outside. She felt excited and picked it up. 
The little girl was going to take her new onion home to show her mom. But when she looked again, the onion had turned all brown and mushy. She felt sad. 
On her way home, the little girl encountered a stranger, an old man. He asked her what she was carrying. She told him about the onion and showed it to him. But the man said that he was hungry and asked for the onion to eat. 
The little girl felt scared and very sad. She didn't want to give the onion away. She started to cry. But the old man didn't feel sorry. She reluctantly handed over the onion, and watched him as he walked away. The little girl felt sad as she headed home without her soft, yellow onion.
