As they wandered through the forest, they stumbled upon a hidden path covered in soft moss. “Where does this lead?” wondered Tumble. Curiosity leading the way, they followed the path until they discovered a secret garden, filled with bright flowers and sparkling streams.
Magic in the Air
In the middle of the garden stood an old tree with branches like arms reaching for the sky. As Whiskers and Tumble approached, they noticed the tree was surrounded by fluttering butterflies, their wings shimmering in the sunlight. “It’s magical!” exclaimed Whiskers, hopping with joy.
A New Friendship
Suddenly, from behind the tree, popped a small, colorful bird. “Hello! I’m Flutter,” chirped the bird. Whiskers and Tumble were delighted to make a new friend. Together, they danced and played among the flowers, their laughter echoing through the garden.
