    Lily, an 8-year-old girl, lived in a neighborhood with a magical tree known as the Love Tree. She was always curious about why it was named so.

    Her neighbor, Mr. Johnson, seeing her curiosity, decided to explain the magic of the Love Tree. 'Lily, this tree is special. It shows us what love looks and feels like,' he said.

    The next day, Lily and her friend Tommy were playing by the Love Tree when Tommy accidentally hurt himself. Lily quickly rushed to help him.

    Seeing Tommy in pain, Lily felt a pang in her heart. She held his hand and said, 'It's going to be okay, Tommy.' As she said this, the tree glowed with a soft light.

    That evening, Lily told her parents about the glowing tree. 'That's the tree showing you the feeling of love, Lily,' her mom explained. 'When you cared for Tommy, you showed love.'

    'But what does love look like?' Lily asked. Her father smiled, 'Let's find out tomorrow at the Love Tree.'

    The next day, Lily's parents arranged a gathering at the Love Tree. All the neighborhood kids were there, sharing their toys, helping each other, and laughing together.

    Lily watched as the tree glowed brighter with each act of sharing and kindness. 'So, this is what love looks like,' she thought, her heart filled with joy.

    That night, Lily lay in her bed, her mind filled with the day's events. She felt a warm, happy feeling in her heart, and she knew that this was what love felt like.

    She decided that from then on, she would try to show love in her actions, to make the Love Tree glow brighter and her heart feel warmer.

    Weeks passed, and Lily kept her promise. She shared her toys, helped her friends, and was kind to everyone. The Love Tree glowed the brightest it ever had.
