Once upon a time in a small town, there lived a girl named Lily. Lily loved to run and play. One day, she took a big leap [1] over a stream with [2] her best friend, a dog named Max. They loved to play near the old bell [3] tower in the middle of the town. The sound of the bell [3] made Lily happy.
Lily had a crush [4] on a boy in her school. His name was Tom. Tom was kind and smart. He liked to help people. Lily wanted to talk to Tom, but she was too shy. She wished she had the right words.
One day, Tom got sick. His body was hot, and he could not get out of bed. People said Tom had an excessive [5] infect [6]. His mother was sad because Tom was not getting better. Lily wanted to help Tom, because she cared for him.
Lily had an idea. She knew her grandmother had old books with [2] secrets about health. Lily went to her grandmother’s house and looked for the book. In the book, she found a natural supplement [7] that could make people feel better. It was made from plants and roots. Lily was happy and thought the supplement [7] would be handy [8] for Tom.
She took the book to Tom’s house. Lily showed the book to Tom’s mother and told her about the supplement [7]. Tom’s mother said they could try it. Lily asked, “Can I see Tom?” She went to Tom’s room and saw him in bed. Lily told Tom about the supplement [7] and he gave a small smile.
Tom’s mother made the supplement [7]. After a few days, Tom started to feel better. He could sit up in bed and talk. Lily was very happy to see Tom getting better. She felt like she helped to crush [3] the sickness.
The town doctor heard about Tom and wanted to know more. He asked Lily for an interview [9]. In the interview [9], the doctor asked many questions. He wanted to know how Lily found the supplement [7]. Lily told him about the book and how she wanted to help Tom.
The doctor was impressed and started to think about the implementation [10] of the supplement [7] in his work. He said, “We may need to inject [11] new ideas into our treatments. This supplement [7] could be useful.”
Soon, Tom was well enough to go back to school. When he saw Lily, he gave her a hug with [2] his hands. Tom said, “Thank you for helping me get better.” Lily felt her heart beat fast. She was happy to be near Tom.
The bell [3] in the bell [3] tower rang. It was time to go to class. Lily took Tom’s hand, and they walked to school together. They became good friends.
From that day on, Lily was not shy around Tom. They did many things together. The town was also happy because Tom was well again.

Lily led the way with [2] her kindness and the bell [3] tower stood as a reminder of the joyful days when Tom got better.
