Every day, Fenna padded through the lily pond before lunch, sniffing cattails and tapping one toe in each cool ripple. She wanted to find the source of the tiny plip-plip sounds that tickled her ears. Until one day, a silver bubble popped under her nose and a dragonfly in striped socks zipped out, smelling like wet leaves and trouble. “Follow the fizzy dot!” it squeaked.
Because of that, Fenna splashed after the bubble around lily pads, making frogs burp in surprise. Because of THAT, the dragonfly landed on a leaf and bowed like a pond king, while the bubble split into ten wobbling dots. Fenna giggled so hard her sail shook. At last, she blew one gentle snort, and all the dots became a crown of ripples. Next time you spot the dragonfly waiting on the lily pad, can you guess which fizzy dot will run away first?
