Soothing Sally's Willow Wisdom

Once upon a time, there was a kind girl named Sally who loved spending time in nature. Her favorite place to visit was a beautiful willow tree named Wise Willow. Wise Willow was special because it had the ability to speak and offer advice to anyone who listened carefully. Sally would often sit beneath the willow's branches, seeking solace and guidance.

One day, as Sally sat beneath the willow, she shared her worries about a school project that was troubling her. Wise Willow listened attentively and then spoke in a gentle voice, 'Dear Sally, when faced with a problem, take a deep breath and think of a solution step by step. Break it down, just like the leaves on my branches.' Sally felt comforted by the willow's words and followed its advice.

Sally took Wise Willow's advice to heart, and she and her friend were able to work things out.
