The Lucky Lollipop
Once upon a time, in a town filled with colorful houses and even more colorful characters, lived a friendly park ranger named Ranger Robbie. Robbie loved his job, especially talking to all the animals in the park. One sunny morning, while getting his morning coffee at a bakery called 'Sweet Surprises', he met a kind baker named Bella. Bella was always covered in flour and had the biggest smile. Ranger Robbie didn’t have any coins to pay for his coffee, but he had a special, sparkly lollipop that he’d found in the park. It was the biggest and shiniest lollipop he’d ever seen! He told Bella, “If this lollipop is a winner, like they sometimes have, I promise to share the prize with you!”
Bella giggled, taking the lollipop with a wink, and put it aside. Later that day, she was surprised to find the lollipop wrapper declared it the grand prize winner at the 'Sweet Treat Fair'. The prize? A giant mountain of every type of candy imaginable. Bella was so excited she rushed to the park to share the news with Ranger Robbie.
Ranger Robbie was surprised, too! At first, they weren't sure how to share so much candy, but soon an idea popped up like a bubble. They decided to share it with everyone in town. They hosted the biggest, sweetest picnic the town had ever seen. Everyone came, kids and adults alike, and together they enjoyed the delicious candies and laughed the day away.
From that day on, Ranger Robbie and Bella became the best of friends, and they learned that sharing, like a big, lucky lollipop, made life much sweeter and a lot more fun. They always believed in the power of friendship and sweet surprises.
