The Dress That Sparkled

Baby Princess Em lived in a small, sunny kingdom full of flowers. She loved her sparkly blue dress that shimmered in the sunlight. One day, she decided to wear her special dress to visit her best friend, Jayda, who lived near the grapevine fields. Jayda always had the juiciest grapes, and they spent hours munching and laughing together.

When Em arrived, Jayda greeted her with a big hug. "Look at your dress! It's beautiful!" Jayda said with a smile. "Thank you," said Em. "I wore it because today is a special day." "Why is it special?" Jayda asked. Em giggled and said, "You'll see!"

As they were talking, they spotted Chewy, the happy little turtle, waddling toward them. Chewy lived in the nearby pond and loved visiting his friends. "Hello, friends! Can I join you?" Chewy asked politely. "Of course, Chewy!" Em and Jayda said. Together, they sat under a big tree, sharing grapes and telling silly stories.

Out of nowhere, Em gasped. "Oh no! I forgot!" she exclaimed. "I left the present I brought for you, Jayda, back at the castle!" Jayda smiled and said, "It's okay, Em. Spending time with you is more important than any gift." Chewy nodded, agreeing with Jayda. But Em still felt sad.

Chewy thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we all go together to get the present? It will be fun!" Em's face lit up. "That's a great idea! Let's go!" So, the three friends strolled happily back to Em's castle, chatting and singing their favorite songs along the way.

When they reached the castle, Em ran inside to grab the gift. She came out with a small, colorful box wrapped in ribbons. "Here you go, Jayda!" Em said, handing her the present. Jayda opened it and found a little bracelet with tiny sparkly stones. "It's beautiful! Thank you, Em," Jayda said, giving her a big hug.

"And thank you, Chewy, for helping us," Em added with a smile. Chewy grinned and said, "That's what friends are for!" The three friends sat together, sharing stories and enjoying the last few grapes. As the sun set, they all agreed it had been the happiest day. The moral of the story: Be nice with everyone.
