“You look a bit sad, Niamh,” said Lily. “Is there anything I

can do to cheer you up?”

“I don’t think so,” said Niamh, trying not to cry. She had

promised Mummy she would be brave.

“Maybe you can play with these dollies with me? Said Lily.

There are two of them and we could have one each?”

This made Niamh think of her two lost dollies. She didn’t

want to play with any different toys.

But she was grateful that this girl was being kind, so she

said:

“Ok.” In a small voice.

Lily turned to her left and gathered up the toys that were

sitting there, pretending to drink from little hot chocolate

mugs of their own.

She passed one of the toys to Niamh.
