Every morning, Pip watered the flowers in a quiet loop: splash for the tulips, sprinkle for the daisies, glug-glug for the big leafy bush. He liked the wet-earth smell, but his boots wanted more than plod, plod, plod.

Pip skidded, spun, and landed exactly beside it. He poured one silver splash, and the whole garden seemed to cheer in leafy whispers. Next time you see the winding stones, can you find the spot where Pip’s boots stopped plod-plod-plodding?
