Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who really, really wanted a dog. Ever since she was tiny, she had begged her mom for a furry friend. She dreamed of playing fetch, going for walks, and snuggling with a cuddly puppy. But Lily’s mom didn’t like having pets around – so she always told Lily that she had to wait.
Lily never stopped with her pestering. One day, Lily’s mom had heard enough of Lily’s cries for a dog decided she needed a clever plan to get her to hate dogs once and for all.
She worked super hard, taking on extra jobs and saving every penny she could. In this period, she was so tired when she came home that all she wanted to do was give up. But she kept working, hoping her plan would finally make Lily stop asking for a dog.
After weeks of hard work, Lily’s mom had saved enough money to put her plan into action. On a sunny Saturday, she took Lily to see a movie. But this wasn’t just any movie—it was a film with filthy dogs that were so scary and strange, they made Lily squel more than she wanted to pet them.
Next, Lily’s mom took her to a special dog house with people dressed in scary dog costumes. The costumes were so creepy, they made Lily jump and want to run away! Even Lily’s mom was a bit scared. They left the dog house feeling quite shaken.
When they got home, Lily’s mom thought this was the perfect time to see if her plan worked. She offered to buy Lily a dog, expecting her to say “No way!” And indeed, Lily loudly shouted. “I hate dogs!”; “After today, I never want to see another dog again… but I really want a cat! They’re so cute and soft!”
Lily’s mom couldn’t believe it. All that effort, and Lily ended up wanting a cat instead? She sighed, thinking maybe she should have just bought a dog instead with the money.
