Every day, Pippa zipped over the garden and tapped each sleepy bud. Tap-tap, flap-flap! The leaves smelled wet and green, and the big flower stayed shut like a fist. “Wake up, sleepyhead!” Pippa called.
Until one day, the big flower sneezed. Achoo! Because of that, its petals bounced open and a shower of tiny golden seeds popped out from the center. Because of that, Pippa’s wings tingled with a buzzing, fizzy joy, and she zoomed to the ants, bees, and beetles. “Come see!” she cried.
At last, everyone gathered as the seeds twinkled down into the soil like little suns. Look at the big flower again—you can almost hear Pippa’s tap-tap, flap-flap.
