The Two Friends
Lily loved to read. She would spend hours in her cozy window seat, lost in stories about faraway lands and magical creatures. Her best friend, Sam, was very different. Sam loved to play outside. He would ride his bike, climb trees, and kick a soccer ball until the sun went down. Lily was quiet and thoughtful, always thinking about the characters in her books. Sam was loud and energetic, always looking for a new adventure. Even though they were so different, they always found time to share their favorite things. Lily would tell Sam about the exciting parts of her books, and Sam would teach Lily new tricks on his skateboard.
