Giving thanks by Elisabeth
"I wanna cookie sweater like YOU, Bellis" says Ilvi "You will surely get one when you grow up", says Bellis. "Here, Bellis, take Teddy....I am all grown up now!"	"Giving up Teddy doesnt make you grown up, Ilvi" Bellis sighs. "It takes time to grow up and get to do big girl things like me." "Do I have to grow up to get TWO apples like you, Bellis?" asks Ilvi.

"No Ilvi, I brought one to share with YOU. It isnt about how much of something you have, but more about being thankful for what you DO have, and being patient for what may come later. Here is your apple, Ilvi." says Bellis.

"Thank you Bellis. I AM happy to have Teddy and this apple" says Ilvi. "BUT......I wish I had dark hair like YOU Bellis! Lookie...I found one of mommy's wigs, dont I look beautiful?"	"I like you JUST the way you are Ilvi, and you should too" Bellis sighs. "You are young and you are blonde, just how you should be." "You are right Bellis....I LOVE Ilvi!"

"Just take a look around you, Ilvi. See how perfect nature is, just the way it should be? Be thankful for all things, everyday." says Bellis	"Enjoy your apple sweet Ilvi, I love you!" "I love you too Bellis. AND Teddy!"
