Once there was a little girl named Julie. She was 3 years old and loved to play. One day, Julie and her friends were playing in the park. They were running around when they saw a big yellow bell. Julie and her friends wanted to play with the bell, but they were not allowed.
The bell belonged to a man who was watching them. He told them that it was his bell and he did not want them touching it. Julie and her friends were sad but they knew they had to obey. All they did was look at the bell, but it still made them smile.
 
The man saw their happy faces and felt bad. He asked Julie if she wanted to ring the bell, even just once. She was so excited, it was all she could do not to scream out loud. Her friends cheered as Julie rang the bell.
Julie was so proud and happy. The man smiled too and told her that ringing the bell had been a very brave thing to do. Julie was happy and so were her friends. They all hugged each other and the man walked away, still smiling.
