High in the hushy treetop, Nori stitched two black leaf fans together. Snip, tug, pat—he wanted a moon-nap cape for the tiny parade that drifted past his branch each Halloween night.
He climbed out to find one silver thread. The bark felt cool under his toes, and the leaves smelled like rain. Then—pssst—a moon moth landed on his nose. “Trade?” she whispered. Nori gave her his last green ribbon, the one he had tied himself. She left a shimmer-thread, soft as spider silk.
