Lily loved chocolate more than anything in the world. Every night, her grandmother would share a small piece of her homemade chocolate bar with her, whispering stories of faraway lands as the last bits of chocolate melted on her tongue.
Tonight, Grandma Lily had baked a special batch of chocolate chip cookies, warm and smelling like sunshine. Each cookie was a tiny, golden treasure. Lily, beside her bed, watched the golden cookies as Grandma Lily placed one on a small plate beside her.
But there was one more cookie, a magnificent, extra-large chocolate chip cookie, still warm, sitting in the center of the plate. Lily's eyes widened as Grandma Lily said, 'I baked this special cookie for my dear sweet girl, a very special treat!'.
Lily's tummy rumbled with excitement. She couldn't resist the delicious aroma, but she also knew her grandmother loved these cookies too. She thought about how happy her grandmother would be if she shared.
Lily took a deep breath and a small smile danced on her lips. Gently, she broke the enormous cookie in half, placing one carefully on her grandmother's plate. She had a feeling this was more fun than a single cookie.
Grandma Lily beamed, her eyes sparkling. 'What a wonderful gift, my dearest Lily,' she said, her voice soft and gentle.
Lily felt a warmth spread through her heart. She knew that sharing her cookie made both of them happy. That night, Lily dreamt of faraway lands filled with mountains of chocolate chip cookies, all waiting to be shared.
As she drifted off to sleep, Lily knew that sharing a little bit of something special with others, just like her chocolate chip cookie, brought a feeling of joy that made her heart sing.
From that day on, Lily always remembered to share her treats, because she learned that sharing not only brought joy to others but also filled her own heart with happiness. And as the night deepened, the sweet aroma of chocolate lingered in the air, a promise of more special moments to come.
And with a final gentle sigh, Lily closed her eyes, dreaming of golden chocolate chip cookies and the wonderful feeling of sharing.
