Once upon a time, in a bright and sunny classroom, lived a soft rag doll named Lulú. Lulú had long brown yarn braids with colorful bows and a beautiful dress made of many patches. One morning, Lulú decided to build the tallest tower in the world. She carefully stacked red, blue, and yellow blocks one on top of the other. 'One, two, three!' she cheered. Lulú was so proud of her tall, straight tower.
But suddenly, the tower began to wobble. With a loud 'CRASH,' all the blocks tumbled down and scattered across the floor. Lulú's big button eyes went wide with surprise. She couldn't believe her beautiful tower was gone! She looked at the mess and felt a hot, grumpy feeling inside. Lulú crossed her arms and let out a big huff. She felt very angry that her hard work had fallen down.
Lulú sat quietly for a moment and took a deep, slow breath. She realized that even though the tower fell, she still knew how to build. She picked up a bright green block and started again. This time, she decided to build a long bridge instead. Lulú learned that even when things go wrong, she can always try something new and have fun again.
