'Once upon a time, in a small town nestled in the countryside, there lived a little girl named Mia. Mia was three years old, with curly locks of brown hair that bounced as she walked. Her favorite companion was her beloved teddy bear doll, whom she called Mr. Snuggles. Mia and Mr. Snuggles were inseparable; they played, ate, and slept together.

'One bright summer morning, Mia and Mr. Snuggles went for a walk in her neighborhood park. They saw lots of kids playing there, running around, and having fun. Mia felt a little shy and scared of the loud noises, but not Mr. Snuggles. He always made her feel better.

'Suddenly, a stranger appeared, a tall man, who seemed friendly. He asked Mia a question, and she looked up at him shyly. She clutched Mr. Snuggles tightly and mumbled something inaudible. The man smiled encouragingly and continued to talk to her.

'Mia hesitated for a moment, but then she remembered what her mom had told her about how to interact with strangers. 'I need permission,' she thought. So she looked around for her mom, and when she spotted her, she waved excitedly.

'The man saw that Mia\'s mom was there, and he left with a friendly wave. Mia felt relieved, and she looked down at Mr. Snuggles, who was grinning up at her. 'Good job, little one,' he seemed to say.

'From that day on, Mia remembers to always get permission before talking to strangers. She learned that it's okay to be shy and scared but also the importance of self-protection. She took steps to ensure her safety that day, and she was wise beyond her years.

'The end'
