Jill was a three-year-old girl who spent her summer days playing in the park. Today she decided to go on a hunt for a special tree. She looked high and low, and found a tall, strong tree that was full of beautiful leaves. It was just what she was looking for. 
Jill wanted to take a break underneath its shade, but when she reached the tree she found that it was too far away from the sun to provide any shade. 
Jill sat down in disappointment and looked up at the tree. She said, "Tree, why won't you help me? I need some shade!" 
The tree remained still and stubbornly refused Jill's request. Jill thought a moment and then remembered something her mom had told her. She said, "Tree, if you move one step closer to the sun, I will give you lots of hugs and kisses."
The tree hesitated, but then slowly shuffled closer to the sun. It was now providing the perfect amount of shade for Jill. 
Jill smiled and hugged the tree. She said, "Thank you for helping me, tree!"
