Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a young girl named Lily. She loved exploring the forest near her house. One sunny day, while wandering through the trees, Lily stumbled upon a magical tree. It had shiny leaves and sparkled in the sunlight.

Curious and excited, Lily approached the tree. Suddenly, the tree started talking! 'Hello, little one,' said the tree. 'I am the Magic Number Tree. I can teach you about odd and even numbers.'

Lily was amazed and asked, 'What are odd and even numbers?' The tree explained, 'Odd numbers are like 1, 3, 5, 7, and so on. Even numbers are like 2, 4, 6, 8, and so on. Let me show you!'

The tree magically displayed numbers on its branches. 'Look, Lily! Here are some numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Can you tell me which ones are odd and which ones are even?'

Lily thought for a moment and said, 'I know! Odd numbers have a friend called '1' at the end, and even numbers don't!' The tree smiled and said, 'That's right, Lily! You're a smart girl!'
