Once upon a sunny morning, little Lily skipped into the garden with her tiny shovel and watering can, ready to help her mom plant flowers. But as she knelt beside the flowerbed, a fluffy rabbit hopped out from behind a bush.
"Hey there, Lily! Forget about gardening today. Let's play instead!" the rabbit exclaimed, twitching its nose mischievously.
Lily giggled, her eyes wide with surprise. "But Mr. Rabbit, I promised Mom I'd help her!"
The rabbit pouted, its ears drooping. "But Lily, playing is much more fun! We can hop around and chase butterflies!"
Lily hesitated, torn between her promise to Mom and the rabbit's playful antics. Suddenly, she had an idea. "Hey, Mr. Rabbit, how about we make a deal? I'll help Mom for a little bit, and then we can play together afterward."
The rabbit's eyes lit up with excitement. "Deal!" it exclaimed, hopping in circles around Lily.
And so, Lily helped her mom plant flowers and remove weeds. She also kept peeking at the rabbit, who wanted to play. After finishing her work, Lily played with the rabbit, chasing butterflies and playing tag until sunset. They laughed a lot. From then on, Lily and the rabbit had fun gardening together, playing among the flowers.
