Every day, Zella counted bees from her sunny hill and wiggled her leaves when the breeze went whoosh-whoosh. She wanted to try one brave thing before sunset, so she invented Wind-Hop: tap a floating leaf with one leaf-tip, then shout, “Hop!”
Until one day, a silver leaf spun higher than the little flowers and zipped past her face. Because of that, Zella bent her tall stem farther than ever; because of THAT, a bumblebee buzzed beside her like a tiny drum and the cloud puffed, “Go!” At last, Zella flicked her leaf-tip and tapped the flyer. “Hop!” she cried, laughing as the wind curled around the hill. Next time a leaf twirls by Zella’s petals, can you spot which one looks ready to play?
