Title: The Snake's New Year Gift

It was the Eve of Spring Festival, 2025. Little Lily got a pet snake, Slinky, as her New Year gift. Slinky was shy but kind. Lily fed Slinky milk and bread. They played hide-and-seek. Slinky slithered under the table, making Lily giggle.

The next day, Lily wore her red dress for the family reunion dinner. Slinky watched from his glass tank, curious. After dinner, fireworks lit the sky. Lily wished for happiness for everyone, including Slinky.

That night, Lily dreamed of Slinky turning into a dragon, flying high, protecting her. She woke up smiling, knowing Slinky brought luck in the Year of the Snake.
