Once upon a time in a colorful town called Berryville, there lived a little girl named Lila. Lila loved playing outside with her friends, but she always wished she could be much taller and stronger.
One day, while tossing a ball with her friend Sammy at the playground, Lila realized that she didn't feel as energetic as the other kids. She wanted to run faster and jump higher just like them!
"Why are you feeling low on energy today?" asked Sammy.
"I want to be tall and strong like you," replied Lila sadly.
"You know what? You can become big and strong by eating your fruits and vegetables," said Sammy enthusiastically.
Lila looked puzzled. She was quite the picky eater and didn't really enjoy trying new foods. But now that she knew how important it was to eat well for growing big, she made up her mind to give it a try.
The next day at breakfast, Mom served Lila some freshly cut fruits: juicy strawberries, sweet bananas, crunchy apples – they all looked so colorful!
"Mmm... these look yummy! I'll start with these," declared Lila confidently.
