In a small town, there was a young girl named Lily. She loved to solve puzzles and riddles, but she always felt a bit jealous when her friend Rose solved problems faster.
Lily's jealousy made her feel unhappy, so she decided to talk to her grandma about it. Her grandma told her that everyone learns at their own pace, and being the best isn't just about being the fastest.
Lily started to see that learning at her own speed could be fun. She made up silly songs to remember different puzzles, and she found joy in taking her time to figure things out.
One day, there was a big puzzle contest in town. Lily and Rose both entered, but this time Lily wasn't focused on being the fastest. She just wanted to have fun and do her best.
As the contest began, Lily noticed that some puzzles were really tricky, and she had to think hard to solve them. She could hear the 'clickety clack' of puzzle pieces being put together all around her.
In the end, Lily and Rose both did great, and they even helped each other out with some of the trickier puzzles. Lily realized that it felt even better to work together than to be the fastest alone.
From that day on, Lily learned to enjoy the joy of learning at her own pace, and she found that being the best meant having fun and being a good friend, not just being the fastest.
