Every day, Gilly the grape pop lined up berries, leaves, and shiny paper scraps in the freezer workshop, trying to make a parade badge with her own hands. The room smelled like sweet frost and lemon peel. Until one day, her glue froze into a lumpy icicle—plop! Because of that, her berries rolled under the workbench. Because of THAT, she had to tip over the box of plain wooden sticks to reach them.
Out slid a hollow stick with a tiny stamp tucked inside. “Aha, you sneaky splinter!” Gilly giggled. She pressed it into raspberry juice, thump-thump-thump, and made badges for the berry pop, the citrus pop, and the strawberry pop. Each one wore Gilly’s handmade mark proudly while the freezer fan hummed like applause. Next time you see the three pop friends, can you spot which little shapes look freshly stamped?
