In a cozy village, there was a girl named Mary who had a fluffy lamb. This lamb loved Mary so much that it followed her everywhere, even to places it shouldn’t go.

One sunny day, Mary said, “Let’s go to school, Little Lamb!” And off they went, with Little Lamb baa-ing happily behind her.

When they arrived at school, the teacher, Mrs. Applebee, was surprised. “Mary, we can’t have lambs in school,” she explained gently.

“But he’s my best friend,” Mary tried to explain.

“I understand, but Little Lamb must stay outside,” said Mrs. Applebee.

Mary was sad but agreed. “Can Little Lamb come tomorrow?” she asked hopefully.

“We’ll see,” replied Mrs. Applebee, smiling a little.

The next day, Mary had a clever idea. She dressed Little Lamb in a tiny school uniform. When they reached school, Mrs. Applebee laughed and said, “Well, if Little Lamb is ready for school, then he can stay.”

From that day, Mary and Little Lamb went to school together, making everyone smile. They had lots of fun and lived happily, showing that with a little creativity, there’s a place for everyone.
