Lila, a timid 7-year-old with wide eyes and a gentle smile, walked alongside her playful puppy, Buster, whose fluffy tail wagged enthusiastically. The two were inseparable, exploring the vibrant surroundings with innocent curiosity.
Lila giggled as Buster chased after a fluttering butterfly, his paws pattering against the grass. "Catch it, Buster!" she encouraged, her voice filled with delight. The sun shone brightly, casting a golden hue over the playful scene.
As the afternoon wore on, Lila wandered closer to the road's edge, her gaze captivated by a vibrant kite dancing in the sky. Unaware of the danger, she stepped forward, her small feet inching toward the busy street.
