Under the warm candy roots, Pip heard a tiny pffft. He wanted one fizzy pop-drop before the sun melted the sugar dew, so he wriggled out past gumdrops and star candies. The path smelled like berries and lemon dust. Shh—between us, Pip did not tell the lollipop guards where he was going.
At the smallest hill, a plain sprinkle wobbled. Pip nudged it with his nose. Pop! A secret door flipped open, and out rolled not one pop-drop, but a whole giggly handful. They fizzed on his stripes and tickled his chin. “Come quick!” Pip called.
He carried them back, losing one to a sticky leaf and one to a crunchy pebble. Still, there were enough for every worm to share, and the garden filled with pffft, pffft, pffft. If you spot the tiniest sprinkle on the hills, keep the secret: that is where Pip heard the first tiny pffft.
