Dreams

Lily closed her eyes, hoping for sweet dreams. She always liked to dream big, picturing herself as a famous artist. Last night, she had a vision of her first art show. People were clapping, and it felt like a dream come true.

But that was just a daydream, she thought. “It might be possible,” her best friend Max said, “but in reality, it’s just a pipe dream.”

“Pipe dream? I don’t think so,” Lily argued. She knew she could turn her art into success.

Max laughed, “You’re always imagining things beyond your wildest dreams. You need to be more realistic. Maybe you need a dream team.”

“Oh, dream on, Max. One day it won’t be ‘in your dreams’ anymore. I’ll make it happen,” Lily replied with determination.

The next day, while walking to school, Lily saw a poster for an art contest. The theme was “Imagination.” Her heart skipped a beat. Could this be the chance to show her art?

Every afternoon, as the sun set, Lily worked on her painting. It was a masterpiece, full of color and life, like the visions she saw in her dreams.

When the contest day came, she felt nervous. Max gave her a reassuring smile. “Go and win, Lily.”

A week later, Lily got a call. She had won first place. Her dream come true was on its way to being a reality. Her art would be displayed in the city gallery.

Max couldn’t believe it. “I guess dreams can come true,” he admitted.

Lily’s story proves that with hard work, even the most fantastic dreams can be achieved. So, never stop dreaming and always aim to dream big.
