Next to their house, there was an old garden. Lily often played there, but her father told her, “Don’t go too deep into the garden. It’s dangerous.” One Saturday morning, Lily heard a soft voice. She followed it and walked into the deep part of the garden. To her surprise, she saw a beautiful garden with soft, green grass. Flowers of all colors were here and there, and butterflies flew about. A little girl in a red dress was singing with joy. “Who are you?” Lily asked. “I’m Lucy. This is my garden,” the girl said. “Would you like to play with me?” Lily nodded happily. They played games and shared Lily’s snacks. When it was time to go home, Lucy said, “Come back tomorrow. I’ll show you more interesting things.” The next day, Lily came back. But she couldn’t find Lucy. She looked around the garden for a while. At last, she saw a note: “I’m moving to another city. Thank you for playing with me.
