On the snowy ridge, soft flakes slipped down Linden’s needles with a hush-shush sound. Linden wanted them to stay close, so he invented a game called Moon-Slide: every flake could slide from branch to branch, but not all the way to the ground.
“Pause on my arms,” Linden whispered. The moon bent like a silver smile and shone on each wide branch. The flakes slowed, settled, and tucked themselves into white pillows. Linden felt the cool weight and knew he had room for every quiet visitor.
Ever since that night, pine branches hold snow in gentle shelves. Next time you see a pine under the moon, can you find where Linden’s Moon-Slide stopped?
