The Tale of Tilly's Tasty Treats

Once upon a time in a town not too far, there lived a girl named Tilly who loved to eat, 'twas her trademark! But oh, what a waste, she'd never finish her plate, her food she'd neglect, what a sad aspect!

Picture Curly brown hair, bright blue eyes, always wearing a big smile, a little girl with curly brown hair, sitting at the dinner table, frowning at her uneaten meal.

Tilly's tummy rumbled, she longed for something yummy, yet when it was served, she'd act kind of bummy. 'No thank you, not hungry,' she'd say with a pout, and off to play she'd trot, no food left to shout!

See Curly brown hair, bright blue eyes, always wearing a big smile making a grumpy face and pushing her plate away, her dog wagging his tail hopefully at her feet.

But one day while playing, Tilly heard a strange sound, a growling and rumbling, coming from all around. It was her tummy, not happy or jolly, for Tilly had skipped both her lunch and her brolly!

Imagine Curly brown hair, bright blue eyes, always wearing a big smile in a playful scene, outside in the yard, holding her stomach with a puzzled expression.

So off to the kitchen, she tiptoed with care, to find something tasty and filling to spare. 'I'll listen to my tummy, and eat all my treats, no more wasting food, that will be so neat!'

Visualize Curly brown hair, bright blue eyes, always wearing a big smile rummaging through the fridge and pantry, placing various food items on the table with a determined look.

From that day forward, Tilly gobbled her grub, not a bite went to waste, not a crumb to the scrub. And as she listened to her tummy's song, Tilly learned her lesson, she'd been silly, oh so wrong!

See Curly brown hair, bright blue eyes, always wearing a big smile happily enjoying a full plate of food, smiling from ear to ear, her tummy happily content.
