Lily was a little girl who liked to run and jump. She had a big race at school today. She wanted to win a medal. She put on her shoes and her shirt with a number. She ate some toast and drank some milk. She was ready to go.
She went to school with her mom and dad. They gave her a hug and a kiss. They said, "Good luck, Lily. We are proud of you." Lily smiled and waved. She went to the field with her friends. They lined up at the start. They waited for the whistle.
The whistle blew and they ran as fast as they could. Lily ran and ran. She passed some of her friends. She saw the finish line. She ran harder. She crossed the line. She looked around. She was first. She won the race.
She felt happy and proud. She heard her mom and dad cheer. They came to hug her. They said, "Well done, Lily. You are amazing." They gave her a medal. It was shiny and round. It had a ribbon. It said, "First Place". Lily put it around her neck. She felt it on her chest. She smiled and said, "Thank you. I love you."
She went home with her mom and dad. They had a special dinner. They had pizza and ice cream. They talked about the race. They looked at the medal. They said, "You are a star, Lily. You worked hard and you did your best." Lily nodded and said, "I did. I had fun. I like to run." She was tired and happy. She went to bed. She took her medal with her. She hugged it and said, "Good night, medal. You are my friend." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She had a good day.
