The glowing moonbeams
Lucy noticed Barry’s fascination with the stars and said, “Barry, do you want to see something magical?” Barry nodded eagerly. Lucy led him to a secret spot in the garden where the moonbeams danced and the flowers sang.
The talking flowers
As Barry and Lucy stepped into the spot, the flowers began to hum a gentle tune. “Hello, friends!” greeted a vibrant daisy. Barry was amazed. “Wow! The flowers are talking!” he exclaimed. Lucy giggled, “This is their special song to the moon.”
