    Once upon a time, in a colorful town lived a bright little girl named Lily. She was a cheerful girl, known for her radiant smile and twinkling eyes. She loved painting, playing, and exploring new things. However, she had one problem - she always procrastinated on her tasks.

    Lily's mother had asked her to clean her room. But Lily thought, "I'll do it later" and continued playing. The room remained messy with toys scattered around. This was Lily's usual habit.

    That night, as Lily was about to sleep, she heard a strange noise. She saw a little monster in her room. The monster was green and fuzzy, with two big eyes. It was the Procrastination Monster!

    The Procrastination Monster said, "I am here because you keep putting off your tasks. Each time you procrastinate, I grow stronger!" Lily was surprised but determined to change her habits.

    The very next day, Lily decided to clean her room first thing in the morning. As she started picking up her toys, she noticed the Procrastination Monster looking smaller.

    In the afternoon, Lily completed her homework without delay. As she finished, she saw the Procrastination Monster shrinking further. Lily was getting the hang of it.

    One day, the Procrastination Monster was so small that it could hardly be seen. It was upset and told Lily, "You've defeated me by not procrastinating!" Lily felt proud of her achievement.
