    Lily was a lively child, but tidying her room was a task she despised. She would rather spend her time playing and exploring.

    Mrs. Brown, Lily's mother, was finding it difficult to teach Lily the importance of keeping her room clean. She decided to devise a plan.

    Mr. Brown, Lily's father, supported his wife's idea. Together, they announced the 'Tidy Room Challenge' to Lily one evening.

    'If you can keep your room clean for a week, we have a surprise for you,' said Mr. Brown. Lily's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

    Lily took up the challenge and started cleaning her room. She dusted her shelves, sorted her clothes and arranged her toys.

    Over the next few days, Lily managed to keep her room tidy. She was eager to discover the surprise her parents had promised.

    Finally, the day arrived when Lily had successfully completed the challenge. Her parents led her to the garden, eyes closed.
