The Whispering Breeze
Startled, Zuzu asked, “Did you hear that, Luna?” Luna nodded, her eyes wide with excitement. “Let’s find it!” she giggled. Together, they followed the breeze, hopping over stones and under low-hanging branches.
A Sparkling Stream
Soon, they reached a sparkling stream. Zuzu used his strong trunk to gently lift Luna across. “Thank you, Zuzu! You’re the best!” Luna cheered. They continued, guided by the soft glow of the evening.
The Rainbow Star
At last, they found the Rainbow Star resting on a bed of soft moss. Luna picked it up, and a stream of colorful lights danced around them. “Wow, Zuzu! It’s beautiful!” Zuzu smiled, “We found it together!”
A Wish for Friendship
