When Lily unwrapped her gift, she screamed with joy.
She gave the doll the most special place in her room. She slept beside it every night. She combed its hair, dressed it, bathed it, and talked to it like it was alive.
She named it... "Zaarina."
Lily loved Zaarina more than anything in the world. She couldn't go a single moment without her.
But this happiness didn't last.
One afternoon while playing outside, Lily was bitten by a mosquito and soon developed a severe fever.
