Every day, Keely watched the leaf racers zip along the park path—swish, skitter, zoom! She wanted to race with them, but her waffle cone point stuck fast in a sticky little puddle that smelled like sugar and warm stone.
Until one day, a gust flipped a leaf under her drip. Because of that, the puddle shivered like jelly. Because of that, a round door popped open where nobody ever looked: right under Keely! “Hop in!” squeaked a crumb-sized beetle.
Keely slid through and burst onto the secret under-path, where leaves raced beside her and sunbeams rang like bells. Finally, she crossed the finish exactly between two green leaves. Next time you spot that sweet puddle, can you tell where Keely’s door went—swish, skitter, zoom?
