Poppy’s gift by Melanie Adkins
Poppy wanted a Valentine just like her older sister. Every year, Poppy looked in the mailbox, but she never received anything.
Poppy thought about what made her sister special. Her sister was kind to her friends, she helped people and she always had a smile for everyone.
Poppy wondered whether she could do something special that meant she might be someone’s Valentine this year. Poppy was too proud to ask her sister for ideas. She knew she had to solve her love puzzle herself.
Poppy thought about her sister. She was kind first. That’s it!, thought Poppy, you need to give love to receive it. Poppy didn’t want her token of love to be like anyone else’s so she decided to make it herself from the heart.
Poppy found some paper and began folding. She thought hard about love while she folded and before long she had created an original folded heart. Poppy smiled. Now, she had to decide who would receive her love.
Poppy wished she was more like her sister and, at that moment, she knew the solution to the problem. Poppy needed to give her sister her love. The happiness that Poppy felt by sharing her love made her the ideal Valentine. Poppy had given love and now she received it.
