Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to chew bubblegum and blow big, pink bubbles. One sunny day, Lily was playing outside when a gust of wind blew her bubblegum right into her hair!
Lily tried pulling and tugging, but the gum just got even stickier. She called for her mommy, who came running with a worried look on her face. 'Oh no, Lily! We need to get that gum out!' said her mommy.
Mommy thought for a moment and then had an idea. 'I know just the trick!' she exclaimed. She rushed to the kitchen and came back with a jar of peanut butter. Gently, she spread the peanut butter all over the gum in Lily's hair.
Lily giggled as the peanut butter made her hair smell delicious. Mommy waited for a few minutes to let the peanut butter do its magic. Then, she carefully started to untangle the gum from Lily's hair.
With each gentle tug, the gum loosened its grip on Lily's hair. Soon, the gum was out, and Lily's hair was smooth and shiny again. 'Hooray!' cheered Lily and her mommy.
From that day on, Lily always remembered to be careful with her bubblegum. And whenever she faced a problem, she would think of her mommy's clever solution and find a way to solve it too.
