Be grateful

Once upon a time , 

there was a little girl named Aaliyah who had really

high expectations of how she lived. 

She always wanted to live in a big luxury

house with her parents on a street full of other children of her age.

She wanted to have a nice big car where it could take her anywhere she wanted.

She wanted to wear clothes every other rich girl would wear that was multi colored.

But that was only what she dreamed about.

Instead …. she lived in a tiny house with 1 room ,

Aaliyah shared rooms with her parents. They had to walk everywhere ,

so she could only go places her parents would go.

Everyday she had to wear brown shorts & a white top that was both made out of cloth.

She was sick of it. She hated the house , she didn’t care about being “grateful” ,

it was no use if she wasn’t grateful for some ugly tiny house.

So one day , while her parents were out hunting for food ,

Aaliyah took off with her pet dog Lukas.

She walked through a street and noticed a big house with children

running around everywhere. It looked exactly like the house she had dreamed about.

There was a big sign in front of the house that said “FOR SALE”.

She couldn't wait to tell her parents but then she noticed on the bottom of the sign it said that it was £2,500 pounds.

They can’t afford that! She frowned then walked away. 

She got back home to see her dad cleaning the house ,

her mum cooking food.

Aaliyah felt heartbroken that she had said all those things about

the house knowing that her parents worked really hard to buy it.

So she made it up to them.

Every day she cleaned the house on her own , hunted & cooked dinner.

She is very happy to be in this tiny house. She is really grateful to have her parents.
