In a warm castle under bright sunshine, Princess Lily wakes up in spring, planning to choose a pet. She asks Henry, her dog, but finds it hard to decide. Could it be a mouse that loves cheese? Or a cat nearby that could be a future favorite? A frog hops along, looking to dance for her—an interesting idea for a pet.
Lily decides to ask her father, King Frederick, who suggests a pony, but a large one isn’t easy to take care of. Meanwhile, a gorilla seems fun, but she can’t steal its bananas! The king considers an elephant, but it takes up too much room.
Then Lily remembers her friend, Stinky the skunk, perfect for her assortment of pets! The smell makes it hard for other animals to come close, but a goat finds it intriguing. Suddenly, Lily gets a bright idea for an amazing pet—a snail that sounds a trumpet! But she worries it might be too slow for fun.
In her garden, a butterfly seems ideal until it flies away. She picks a bird that chirps sweetly but struggles to bring bluebirds to its house. Deer, Penguin, and behind it, a kangaroo, all give different ideas for pets. Even an otter hiding in the pool shows interest.
With so many options, Princess Lily feels confused. Luckily, Henry, her silent supporter, always wags his tail when he sees her around and feels her joy.
After much thinking, she finally finds the best pet—a lively pig. This gets her to chuckle, and she realizes that true happiness is in finding friends that bring joy, even if they are funny! So, the search for the princess’s perfect pet ends happily, full of laughter and love shared with her chosen companions.
