Tell me a very short English story.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She lived in a small cottage in the English countryside. One day, she found a mysterious key in the attic. It was an old - fashioned key with an intricate design. Lily was curious and decided to search for the lock it belonged to. She wandered around the cottage and finally found a small wooden box in the cellar. The key fit perfectly into the box's lock. Inside the box, there was a beautiful hand - written letter from her great - grandmother, telling her about the family's history and some long - forgotten secrets. This was how Lily discovered a whole new side of her family's past.

Once upon a time, there was a little mouse. It was very hungry. It saw a big piece of cheese on the table. It quickly ran to the table and ate the cheese. It was so happy.

Once upon a time, there was a man who went to a pet store. He asked the clerk, 'I want to buy a pet that can do everything.' The clerk said, 'How about a dog?' The man replied, 'No, a dog can't talk.' Then the clerk said, 'What about a cat?' The man said, 'No, a cat can't fetch my newspaper.' Finally, the clerk said, 'Then I have just the thing for you, a centipede!' The man was excited and took the centipede home. He told the centipede to go and make him a cup of coffee. An hour passed, and nothing happened. He went to check on the centipede and found it still putting on its shoes.

The Ant and the Grasshopper. In summer, the grasshopper was singing and having fun all day. The ant, on the other hand, was busy collecting food for the winter.

It tells us to be prepared for the future.
