Adnil lives with her Grandma and Grampa, mom and dad and two sisters between the gigantic walls of a three story mansion in Beverly Hills California. The house is a pinkish colour and that's fine for Adnil because her favorite colour is pink.
In fact most of the things she has are pink. You would think after awhile she would like a change but nope, pink is it for her! lol
Adnil is strong and athletic, she loves to run and would run forever if she could! In fact there is a beautiful garden and walkway that goes to the edge of a lake just behind her house. It is safe for her to run outside first thing in the morning, before any of the 'Big People' are awake. This is what she calls 'her' time and wouldn't give it up for the world.
For her 'good deed of the day' for the 'Big People' she decided to clear up the weeds on the edge of the lawn that the gardener missed. He had already pulled them out and just forgot to throw them away. Adnil was big enough to carry two or three at once and toss them high into the garbage bin.
It took about 15 minutes and she was done. As usual she felt really good afterwards.
Later in the day she changed into her favorite pink dress, made from an old tea towel the 'Big People' threw out. Adnil loved this dress and wore it at least twice a week.
Afterward her friend Annuahs came over to play dolls. She was fun to play with but sometimes got a little bossy if you didn't do things her way. It was only a week till Christmas and they were both really excited. While they were playing Annuahs told Adnil that Santa wasn't real. That he was made up and it was the mom's and dad's that did it all.
Christmas time was really big at Adril's house and she was really upset to hear this. She believed in Santa and the magic of Christmas with all her heart. She felt sad and mad at the same time. Her response was to tell her friend she was wrong. That there really was a Santa. Adnil told Annuah that her parents did help out a little because Santa had such a big job but there was nothing she could say to make her not believe in Santa. Somebody had to give presents to the kids whose parents could not afford to buy any. Adnil believed it was Santa.
Her friend didn't know what to say but it certainly made her think. Maybe it would make Christmas time more special if she at least tried to believe in Santa and the magic of Christmas.
Adnil felt a teeny bit bad for getting upset with her friend but she was proud of herself for standing up for what she believes. Instead of just agreeing with her friend because it was easier. This made her feel really good and hopefully her friend would see that being bossy doesn't mean you get your way.
