Above the rooftop fair, Pippa flapped her little wings and shouted over the fiddle music, “Catch my hooray!” She had invented a game: flap once for a giggle, twice for a hop, three times for a spin. The air smelled like popcorn and warm chalk, and every flap sent her happy heart zooming between bunting flags.
