Because of that, she opened it and found glitter stars, tiny flags, and a note: “For the maker.” Because of that, she fixed the wobbly top with flag strings and crowned it with five bright candles. “I built it!” she shouted, sticky fingers shining. Next time you spot those five candles, see if you can imagine the snip-snip, pat-pat.
