Water and Sun

"I'm thirsty," whispered Petey. "And I miss the bright sun." Lily knew just what to do! She gave Petey a nice drink of water. Then, she gently moved his pot to the sunny window. "Is this better?" she asked.

A Happy Flower

"Yes!" cheered Petey. His leaves perked up and turned bright green! Then... pop! A beautiful flower bloomed on his head. "Wow!" said Lily. "Water and sun make you healthy!" Petey smiled. "And healthy food and playing outside make you healthy, too, Lily!"
