The Lady Bug Story

One uponce a time there was a lady bug named Lilly. She loved to play
outside with her friends.

One day she got really sick. Her Mommy and daddy took her to the doctor.
The doctor told them that she had a very bad kind of sickness. They put her
on medicine that would get rid of the sickness but the medicine made her
feel all tired and weak. She couldn't go outside and play with her friends
any more. She had to stay in bed and rest all day. All of her friends and
family prayed that little Lilly would get better soon. Her parents were
very scared and sad but they never let Lilly know that they felt that way.
They wanted Lilly to think that they were strong so she would be strong
herself. It took a long, long time before Lilly started feeling any better.
Then one day she felt like getting out of bed. It was a big step in her
getting better. Not long after that she wanted to go outside. She was still
too tired to play but she enjoyed watching the other lady bugs play. She
started feeling better and better every day. Lilly's Mommy and daddy took
her back to the doctor. He told them that Lilly had recovered wonderfully
and was all better. That night Lilly got to play with her friends for the
first time in a long time. Her Mommy and daddy were proud of how strong she
had been through the entire ordeal. They were also very thankful of all of
the friends and family support. Most of all they were happy to have their
little Lilly bug back to her old self again.
