Once upon a time, there was a big red ball. The ball lay in the east part of the yard. It was very glad to be there. Every day, the ball saw a small girl named Lily. Lily liked to play with the ball. They had a lot of fun together.
One day, the ball saw a big tree. The tree had a long branch. The ball thought, "I want to be on that branch." But the ball knew it was not easy. The ball was sad.
The next day, Lily came to play. She saw the ball was sad. Lily had an idea. She tried to throw the ball up to the branch. It took a few tries, but she did it! The ball was so glad to be on the branch. It could see the whole yard from up there. Lily and the ball were very happy.
