Under the low shelf of the craft shed, Lena taped three paper ribbons to her little plane and whispered, “Spin, wind, spin.” She had invented a game: fly to the meadow bell, let the breeze braid the ribbons, and bring back the prettiest twist. Glue smelled sweet on her fingers, and the propeller made a soft brrr-brrr at the open door.
Outside, the grass brushed her wheels, and one ribbon snapped loose in a gust. Lena’s tummy squeezed, but she landed beside a thistle and tied the ribbon on again with a knot she made herself. When she came home, the ribbons were wrinkled, striped with pollen, and perfect. She painted one small red mark on the tail to remember it. Next time you see the spinning propeller, can you guess which breeze helped Lena’s handmade ribbons play, “Spin, wind, spin”?
