Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Lily. She loved playing with her toys and eating yummy snacks. One day, Lily's mom told her about wants and needs. Wants are things that we would like to have, but don't necessarily need. Needs are things that are necessary for us to live and be happy.

Lily started thinking about her own wants and needs. She thought about all the toys she had and realized that she didn't need all of them. She also thought about the snacks she ate and realized that she needed healthy food more than sugary treats.

Lily decided to prioritize her needs. She made a list of things she needed, like healthy food, water, clothes, and a good night's sleep. She also made a list of things she wanted, like new toys and delicious snacks.

Every day, Lily made sure to address her needs first. She would eat nutritious meals, drink plenty of water, and get enough sleep. Once she had taken care of her needs, she could enjoy playing with her toys and having some treats.

Lily's friends noticed how happy and healthy she looked. They asked her how she did it. Lily explained about wants and needs, and how taking care of her needs first made her feel good. She encouraged her friends to do the same.

Lily and her friends started making lists of their needs and wants. They began addressing their needs first and then enjoying their wants. They felt proud of themselves for problem-solving and taking care of their well-being.

As time went on, Lily realized that by addressing her needs first, she had more time and energy to do the things she loved. She felt happy and content knowing that she had learned an important life skill.

From that day forward, Lily always remembered to address her needs first. She knew that by taking care of herself, she could problem-solve and enjoy life to the fullest.
