Under the warm morning sun, Pippa tapped her watering can: plink, plink, plink. She had invented a brand-new game called Pebble Parade, where every stone on the path got one tiny drink, and every flower had to cheer by wiggling. The daisies bobbed. The tulips nodded. Pippa giggled, “No pushing, pebbles!”
She hopped from round stone to round stone, sprinkling drops that smelled like mint leaves and wet dirt. At the mushroom house, the red-spotted roof gave a little shake. Then the front door made three squeaky knocks—tap, tap, tap—and the chimney puffed a cloud shaped exactly like Pippa’s bun.
