The Little Lime's Adventure

In a bright, sunny garden, there lived a little lime. It was round and green, just like a tiny ball! The lime loved to play with the butterflies and dance with the flowers.

One day, the lime rolled down a hill and met a friendly orange. "Hello, little lime!" said the orange. "Let's make a yummy juice together!"

They squeezed and mixed, creating a refreshing drink that made everyone smile. The lime learned that sharing and making new friends is the sweetest adventure of all!
