Lily liked to draw with crayons. She had many colors of crayons in her box. She liked to draw flowers and stars and rainbows. She was very happy when she drew.
One day, she wanted to draw a big sun. She looked for a yellow crayon in her box. But she could not find one. She saw a yellow crayon on the floor. It was near the trash can. She thought maybe someone dropped it by mistake. She decided to get it and use it.
She picked up the yellow crayon and smelled it. It was very smelly. It smelled like a rotten banana. She made a face and said, "Yuck!" She looked at the crayon and saw that it was not a crayon at all. It was a banana peel. Someone had used it as a crayon and then threw it away.
Lily felt very silly and sad. She threw away the banana peel and washed her hands. She wished she had a real yellow crayon. She looked in her box again and saw a surprise. There was a new yellow crayon in her box. It had a sticker on it that said, "For Lily, from Mom". Mom had seen that Lily had no yellow crayon and bought her one.
Lily smiled and hugged the yellow crayon. She thanked Mom and started to draw a big sun. She was very happy again. She learned to be careful and not to use smelly things as crayons.
