Under the hum of noon bugs, Nell pressed flat white petals into a curvy line through the tall grass. She had invented Daisy Path, a game where butterflies had to follow her handmade signs all the way to the little hill cottage before the birds cried, “Kree!”
But the wind slid over the hills with a shivery hush and mixed every petal. Nell’s fingers smelled green and sticky as she tucked each daisy deeper, stem by stem. “Stay, little path,” she whispered. Two butterflies dipped low, found the bright dots, and fluttered safely home.
Ever since, meadow daisies grow in wandering paths so small wings can read them. Next time you see the butterflies above the flowers, can you trace Nell’s secret game?
