Read the story Easy English
Lily was a little girl who lived in a small and peaceful village. Lily had soft and shining golden hair that glowed like warm sunlight. Her hair sparkled in the morning and shimmered in the evening. Other children in the village had simple dark or brown hair. Some children stared and whispered that Lily's hair was too strange. Lily felt shy and sad, so she tried to hide her hair under a hat.
One evening, dark clouds covered the sky, and a heavy storm came quickly. Strong cold wind blew, and the village lost all its light. The lamps went out, leaving the houses dark and frightening. The scared children could not see the way back home. Lily stood still and looked around as her golden hair began to glow softly in the darkness. Lily kindly invited the children to stay close to her light.
The children followed the soft glow of Lily's hair as she walked slowly through the dark paths. Her golden light showed the safe way step by step past trees and small houses. Soon, everyone reached their warm homes safely. The children smiled and praised her beautiful hair for guiding them. Lily felt warm and happy, no longer feeling shy, knowing her glowing hair was a special gift.
