Once upon a time, in a cozy little cottage, lived a small mouse named Pip. One sunny afternoon, Lily decided to bake a blueberry muffin. She carefully picked the plumpest, juiciest blueberries and mixed them into the batter. When the muffin was cool enough, Lily sat down to enjoy it with a glass of milk. That’s when she saw Pip, peeking in the window!
Lily smiled and offered Pip a single, perfect blueberry. Pip’s eyes lit up! He nibbled the blueberry with delight. “Oh, thank you!” squeaked Pip. “This is the best blueberry ever! But now, I’m a little thirsty.”
Lily giggled and poured Pip a tiny drop of milk into a bottle cap. Pip took a sip and then said, “Now, my whiskers are sticky!” So Lily found a soft cloth and gently wiped Pip’s whiskers clean. Pip was very grateful.
“Now,” said Pip, “I need a little nap after all that blueberry and milk!” He looked around and spotted Lily’s building blocks. “But first, could you help me build a cozy little bed?” Lily happily agreed. They stacked the blocks high, making a perfect mouse-sized bedroom.
Once Pip’s bed was ready, he snuggled inside. “This is wonderful,” he yawned. “But it’s a little dark in here. Could you find me a tiny lamp?” Lily found a glowworm and carefully placed it near Pip’s bed. The glowworm’s gentle light filled the little room.
Pip felt safe and warm. “Thank you, Lily,” he whispered. “You’ve been so kind and helpful.” Lily smiled. Helping Pip made her feel good too! She realized that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
Soon, Pip was fast asleep, dreaming of blueberries and cozy beds. Lily quietly tidied up the blocks and the cloth. She knew that if you give a mouse a blueberry, it might lead to a lot of little requests, but it also leads to a lot of fun and friendship. And that’s the sweetest thing of all.
Lily climbed into her own bed, feeling happy and peaceful. She closed her eyes, remembering Pip’s grateful smile. And as she drifted off to sleep, she knew that tomorrow would be another day filled with kindness and helpfulness. Sweet dreams!
