Lily and the Thankful Garden

Lily was a little girl with curly hair and bright eyes. She lived in a small house with a tiny garden behind it. In the garden grew tomatoes, carrots, and sunflowers that turned their yellow faces toward the sun.

One morning, Lily's grandmother came to visit. Grandma Rose smiled and said, "Lily, this garden gives us so much. But do you know the secret that makes it grow?"

Lily thought hard. "Water?" she asked.
