Under the warm leaf shade, Tilla rolled a tiny glass bead between her paws. It had one rainbow wink inside, and she wanted to keep that wink close, where only her nose could see it. The garden smelled like wet grass and daisy dust. “Just one more sparkle,” she whispered.
A quiet moth drifted down, then two butterflies, then a cloud of wings. The bead caught the sun and tossed little colors onto every petal—plink, pink, gold, blue. Tilla’s chest felt too full to hold. She lifted the bead high, and the butterflies fluttered through the colors together. Ever since, butterflies visit capybaras in bloom gardens, because joy that bright needs many wings to carry it. Can you spot where their shared sparkle is flying now?
