Every day, Tessa stitched scrap cloth beside the mountain meadow, making a tiny patch for the tent flap. The needle went poke-pull, poke-pull, while pine needles smelled sharp in the sun. She wanted the flap to stop flapping at night.
Until one day, a cricket hopped onto her thread and chirped right on the knot. Because of that, Tessa copied its bumpy rhythm: stitch, skip, stitch. Because of THAT, the patched flap hummed softly when the wind touched it, and sleepy campers followed the sound back from the berry bushes.
“I made a doorbell for the tent,” Tessa whispered. The mountains glowed pink, and the flap gave one proud hum. Next time you see that open tent, can you spot the little place where poke-pull became music?
