A little girl loved summer. She sat by her window every day, looking outside. She wanted warm days with lots of fun.
Winter was no fun. The sky was grey, and snow was cold. She didn’t like wearing big coats or mittens.
She dreamed of eating ice cream. She thought about swimming in a pool. She also wanted to eat sweet berries outside.
Her mom said, “Summer’s not here.” Her dad said, “More snow is coming.” The girl felt sad but kept hoping.
Every day, she watched the street. She looked for something to show summer was coming. She wanted to be happy.
One day, something cool happened. A bright ice cream truck drove by. It had pictures of ice cream cones on it.
The girl smiled big. “Ice cream truck! Summer’s here!” she said. She was so excited.
She ran to her room. She put on her swimsuit and a big hat. She was too happy to grab shoes.
She hurried down the stairs. She ran out the door. She wanted to get ice cream and feel summer.
But then—ow! Her feet stepped on cold, icy grass. It was super chilly! Winter was still there.
The girl was confused. “I saw an ice cream truck!” she said, feeling cold. She looked at the road.
The truck was driving away. It wasn’t stopping to sell ice cream. It was going somewhere else.
She learned the truck was going to a fix-it shop. It wasn’t ready to sell ice cream yet.
The girl felt a bit silly. She thought the truck meant summer, but she was wrong.
She went back inside. Her mom saw her and asked, “Why the swimsuit?” The girl told her what happened.
Her mom hugged her. “One thing doesn’t mean summer,” she said. “Look for more signs.”
The girl understood. A truck alone didn’t mean summer. She needed to check other things.
She thought about summer signs. Warm sun would be one. Pretty flowers would be another.
Birds singing and green grass would show summer too. Just one truck wasn’t enough.
The girl decided to think more next time. She’d look for more clues before getting excited.
She put her swimsuit away. She wore her warm coat again. But she wasn’t sad.
She learned something good. Thinking carefully helps you not make mistakes.
The girl went back to her window. She still thought about summer. But she was smarter now.
She saw snow falling outside. She smiled, knowing summer would come later.
Until then, she’d wait. She’d look for real summer signs, not just one truck.
This story teaches us something. Don’t think something is true because of one thing you see.
Look for more clues. Check if other things match. It helps you be right.
If the girl had looked outside, she’d see snow. She wouldn’t have run out in her swimsuit.
So, kids, when you see something fun, wait. Look around before you decide what it means.
Moral: Don’t believe something just because of one sign. Find more clues to be sure.
