One sunny morning, Lily woke up early. She was very excited because today was the day of the school English competition. She had been practicing her story for weeks.

Lily’s story was about a little cat named Mimi. Mimi loved to play with balls of yarn. One day, she found a red ball that was not like the others. It was soft and shiny. Mimi played with it all day, and when she finally fell asleep, she dreamed of a magical place.

In her dream, Mimi met a friendly rabbit who could speak English. The rabbit said, “Mimi, you are very brave. You can help me find my lost hat.” Mimi agreed and followed the rabbit through a big forest.

They met many animals along the way. A wise owl gave them a map, and a clever squirrel helped them cross a river. Finally, they found the hat under a big tree. The rabbit was very happy and thanked Mimi.

When Lily finished telling her story, the audience clapped loudly. Her teacher smiled and said, “Great job, Lily! You did a wonderful job.”

From that day on, Lily knew that with practice and courage, she could do anything she wanted.

The End.
