A plain pink paper strip hid under Suki’s pot, and Suki tapped it with one leaf. She wanted to fold it into a heart charm for her balcony tray before the bees came buzzing. Psst—she had never made one all by herself. When a warm gust whooshed by, the strip flipped away, past the clay saucer and onto the rooftop laundry line.
Suki scooted after it, bump-bump, across scratchy tiles that tickled her roots. A sock snapped in the wind. “Hold still, please!” she whispered. One leaf got bent, but she pinched, folded, and tucked until the strip became a wobbly heart with tiny star marks poked by a twig.
Back in her tray, Suki set the charm beneath her leaves. The bees hummed close, like they knew her secret. Can you spot the heart she made from the plain pink paper strip?
