Under the warm pebble, Tavi pressed one wing-tip to a round pollen dot and whispered, “Dot means giggle.” Then she zipped through the pebble garden, tapping dots on leaves, petals, and shiny mushroom caps. Her new game was simple: find a circle, give it a happy thought, and pass it on before the breeze said hushhh.
But the giggle grew too big for Tavi’s tiny chest. It buzzed like fizzy lemonade. “Who can hold this much joy?” she asked. A snail named Oona lifted her head from the cool moss and said, “Try my shell.” Tavi tapped one dot, then two, then a curly dash. Oona laughed so hard her shell kept the marks.
Ever since, secret joy-games leave dots and swirls on snail shells and butterfly wings. If you spot Tavi above Oona, can you count which circles are still giggling from the warm pebble?
