The afternoon sun was hot, and Lala had just come back from playing outside. She scratched her arms and legs, feeling a little uncomfortable. “Ugh, why am I so itchy?” she muttered. The dust and grass from the yard clung to her skin, and she knew she needed to get clean.
Without telling anyone, Lala marched straight to the bathroom. She turned on the water, filling the tub with warm, bubbly foam. From the shelf, she picked her favorite lavender-scented soap and poured a little too much—creating mountains of bubbles that almost overflowed.
She giggled as she splashed around, rubbing her arms and legs, washing away all the dirt and itchiness. “Ah… much better,” she sighed, closing her eyes for a moment and enjoying the warmth.
Meanwhile, Thuy, Lala’s older sister, was in the living room reading a book. She hadn’t seen Lala for a while and wondered where she had gone. Hearing splashing sounds from the bathroom, Thuy peeked in—and froze.
There was Lala, sitting in the tub surrounded by a sea of bubbles, happily humming to herself. “Lala! You’re taking a bath all by yourself?” Thuy exclaimed in surprise.
Lala looked up with a cheeky smile. “Yes! I was itchy, so I decided to get clean. I didn’t need any help this time!”
Thuy laughed, shaking her head. “Well, you’ve made quite a mess, but I’m proud of you.” She grabbed a towel and stood by, ready to help her little sister out of the tub.
After the bath, Lala felt fresh, clean, and itch-free. Thuy still couldn’t believe her little sister had managed everything on her own—and Lala felt proud for surprising her in the best way.
