Lily had a small garden in her backyard. One day, she found a shiny penny on the ground. "I will plant this penny here," she said and put it into the soil.

Every day, Lily planted one penny. She dug a tiny hole and gently put the coin inside. She watered the spot and waited. "Maybe one day, a money tree will grow," she whispered with a smile.

Weeks passed. The garden did not grow money, but Lily kept adding pennies. Her jar of coins grew heavy. Her smile grew bigger. She saved money little by little for a new bike.

One morning, Lily counted her coins. "I have enough now," she said. She bought the bike she wanted. Lily knew patience and saving small things helped her reach her dream.
