    Lily was the youngest in the family, known for her playful nature and sparkling eyes full of mischief.

    Max, her elder brother, was quite the opposite. He took pride in being the eldest and often bossed Lily around.

    One day, Max decided to take over Lily's side of the room, disregarding her protests.

    Lily felt upset and decided to teach Max a lesson. She hatched a plan.

    Lily invited Max to play a new game in the tree house. Max, being competitive, agreed.

    The game was 'Cops and Robbers', and Max was the robber. Lily tied him up as part of the game.

    Max, now tied up, realized he was tricked but couldn't help but laugh at Lily's cleverness.

    Lily left him in the tree house, promising to untie him once he promised to respect her space.
