Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a colorful room with a big bed. One night, Lily heard a noise and looked under her bed. There she found a friendly monster named Milo. Milo had green fur and a big smile. Lily wasn't scared, she knew Milo was a nice monster.
Milo and Lily quickly became friends. They played games, told stories, and laughed together. But there was a problem – Lily was afraid of the dark, and Milo was scared of loud noises. They both needed each other's help.
One night, the power went out in Lily's house. It was really dark, and Lily was scared. But then Milo appeared with his glowing tail, lighting up the room. Lily felt safe and realized that she could be brave too.
Another day, a thunderstorm started outside. Milo was terrified of loud noises and hid under the bed. Lily knew she had to help her friend. She hugged Milo tightly and sang a soft song. Milo felt better, and they danced together, not afraid of the storm anymore.
As they spent more time together, Lily and Milo learned about responsibility. Milo helped Lily clean her room by picking up toys with his long arms. Lily taught Milo about sharing by giving him her favorite book to read.
One day, Lily accidentally broke a vase in her room. She was upset and scared to tell her parents. Milo encouraged her to be honest and take responsibility. Lily gathered all the pieces and confessed to her parents. They were proud of her for telling the truth.
Lily realized that having Milo as a friend made her braver and more responsible. They continued to have fun adventures together, helping each other overcome their fears. Lily knew that she could count on Milo, her friendly monster under the bed.
The end.
