Behind the flower stand, Fern pressed daisies onto a scrap card: pat, pat, pat. She had invented Petal-Stamp Secret, a game where a handmade bouquet had to carry three clues before it could be given away. One clue was missing: a ribbon as blue as morning shade. “Don’t tell,” Fern whispered to the tulips, and stepped out from the warm, leafy smell of the stand.
Past the buckets, her shoes went tap-tap on the cool walk. A breeze stole two daisy petals, and Fern had to trade her last sticker to a hat-wearing friend for a blue ribbon from a pocket. Back she came, cheeks proud and fingers sticky with flower dust, tying the bouquet tight. The friend read the clues, grinned, and added a tiny leaf stamp of their own. If you peek at the bouquet, can you keep Fern’s petal-stamp secret?
