Story
Once upon a time, in a sunny garden, lived a little puppy named Bumper and a kitten named Whiskers. They loved to play all day long, chasing butterflies and rolling in the grass. One bright morning, as they explored the garden, they noticed a shimmering light peeping from underneath the flowers.
The Secret Glimmer
Bumper barked excitedly, “Look, Whiskers, something’s shining!” The curious kitten purred and flicked her tail, “Let’s find out what it is!” Together, they dug through the petals and leaves until they found a tiny, glowing door.
Through the Tiny Door
With a wag of his tail, Bumper nudged the door open, and both friends peeked inside. To their surprise, they found a magical land full of colorful flowers and singing birds. “Wow,” said Bumper, “it’s a land of wonders!”
Adventures with Friends
In this enchanted place, they met a talking butterfly who loved to tell stories. “Welcome,” said the butterfly, “join us for a day of fun!” Bumper and Whiskers giggled as they listened to tales of bravery and kindness.
The Journey Home
As the sun began to set, the gentle glow of the door called them back. “We must return home,” whispered Whiskers. Bumper nodded, “But we’ll never forget this magical day!” They scampered back through the tiny door, finding themselves once again in their cozy garden.
The end.
