Under the hushy morning clouds, Tula set herself a tiny challenge: she would find seven quiet sounds before the bees woke the daisies. She slid through cool grass, listening. Plink went dew on a leaf. Whirr went a bee’s sleepy wings. Tap went a pebble under her soft foot. Three sounds! But the garden still held its biggest secret, tucked somewhere under the rainbow’s bent colors.

The rainbow hummed so softly it tickled her antennae, then poured seven hushy notes into her shell: red hum, orange hum, yellow hum, green hum, blue hum, indigo hum, violet hum. Each note curled into a ring and stayed. Ever since, snail shells carry rainbow rings, saving the garden’s quiet music for anyone curious enough to lean close; can you spot Tula holding the secret under her spiral shell?
