Once upon a time, in a cozy little house, there lived a fluffy puppy named Priscilla. Priscilla was the apple of her parents' eyes, loved for her playful barks and joyful tail wags. But one day, something changed. A new baby brother arrived in the family, and suddenly, Priscilla felt like she wasn't the center of attention anymore.
Priscilla tried her best to be noticed. She would fetch her favorite toys, perform her cutest tricks, and even bark a little louder than usual. But her parents seemed too busy with the baby. Priscilla felt a pang of sadness. She wondered if her parents still loved her as much as they did before.
One day, while Priscilla was sitting quietly in a corner, she heard her baby brother crying. Curious, she tiptoed closer to the crib. The baby looked so tiny and helpless. Just then, Priscilla realized that her baby brother needed a lot of care and attention, just like she did when she was a tiny puppy.
With a new understanding, Priscilla decided to become the best big sister. She started by gently wagging her tail whenever she was near the baby, making him giggle. She would lie down quietly next to the crib when he slept, standing guard like a loyal protector.
Priscilla's parents noticed her efforts and showered her with hugs and praises. They realized that Priscilla was feeling left out and made sure to spend special time with her too. They would take Priscilla for walks, play fetch, and cuddle with her, showing her that she was still very much loved.
In time, Priscilla and her baby brother became the best of friends. Priscilla learned that love doesn't divide; it only grows. And her parents made sure both Priscilla and her brother knew they were equally important and loved in their happy little home.
And so, Priscilla's story turned from one of loneliness to one of love and understanding, teaching us that change can bring new joys and that there's always enough love to go around.
