In a faraway place, there was a magic island where lost and left-behind toys lived. The toys could play forever and had powers to make people happy.

A girl named Lily found a map to this island and took a small boat to find it. She was a brave girl and brought snacks for her trip.

When Lily got to the island, she saw toys laughing and playing. They quickly became friends and showed her all their cool tricks. Lily had lots of fun with toy balls, trains, and even flying dolls, but she missed her family.

Then, Lily met a sad teddy bear named Mr. Snuggles who had no one to love him. Lily knew she had to help the toys find new homes where they’d be loved.

Lily and the toys led a parade to find them owners. People from nearby towns came, and each toy found a new home. Lily was happy to see them loved again. She kept helping more lost toys, making a big difference in their lives.
