At the edge of the thaw field, Pippa tied a red string around her boot and set her challenge: hop every puddle before the snack bell clanged. Plip! Plop! Her boots slapped cold mud, and the wet grass smelled like rain waking up. She counted each shine. “Seven before sandwiches!” she shouted.
The puddles made a wiggly trail around a tall crocus, whose leaves stood like green arrows. Pippa jumped left, then right, then stopped. A bright round glow trembled in the water at her toes. It was not another puddle prize—it was the sun, hopping with her.
So Pippa bowed to the crocus and made one last gentle hop. Next time you see the round sun above those splashes, can you find the trail where Pippa belonged, plip-plop, in the thaw field?
