Lily loved her teddy bear, Buttons. One sunny morning, she went to the park to play. She played on the swings, went down the slide, and even had a picnic with her friend, Sam. When it was time to go home, Lily looked for Buttons, but he was nowhere to be found! Lily felt a big lump in her throat. She looked under the slide, behind the swings, and even in the picnic basket. Sam helped her look too. Finally, Sam said, "Wait, I remember seeing you put him on the bench when we ate. Let's check there!" They ran back to the bench, and there was Buttons, sitting right where Lily had left him.
