Lacy and Tracy were best friends who loved going to school together. They were both in the fourth grade and always looked forward to their classes, recess, and lunchtime. One sunny morning, the two girls arrived at school with big smiles on their faces, ready to start their day.

As they walked through the classroom door, they noticed a beautiful flower sitting on the teacher's desk. It had vibrant petals in shades of pink, purple, and yellow, and a delicate fragrance filled the air. The girls couldn't help but admire the flower's beauty.

"Wow, that's such a pretty flower!" Lacy exclaimed. "I wonder where it came from."

"Me too," Tracy replied. "Maybe the teacher brought it in to show us."

The girls took their seats and eagerly waited for their teacher to arrive. When she finally did, she called the class to attention and explained that the flower was a special gift from the principal. She said that the flower represented the importance of friendship and how it can make our lives more beautiful.
