Glimmer Puff, a sparkly ghost, soared over a rainbow bridge into a cloud garden. She marveled at the fluffy paths and bright flowers humming cheerful tunes.
Suddenly, a strong gust blew open a wall of mist, revealing tall vines that danced in the breeze, waving as if to say hello. Glimmer Puff’s eyes widened with excitement.
High above, a golden bellflower rang softly, sprinkling shining drops of dew onto the puffy clouds. Each drop glowed like a tiny star.
Eager to explore, Glimmer Puff zipped ahead. She brushed past a patch of flowers without saying hello, making them rustle with displeasure. One flower cried, “Please slow down!”
A sharp, tugging wind twisted Glimmer Puff toward a row of roses. Their gentle song changed to a sad tune. “Why are you rushing by?” they whispered.
Glimmer Puff realized she had dashed past the flowers too quickly. She felt bad for ignoring them. “I’m sorry,” she said. “I didn’t mean to be rude.”
Nearby, a shimmering fountain bubbled with musical water droplets, each note rising into the calm air and then fading gently.
Determined to make things right, Glimmer Puff hovered quietly beside the vines. She tried a new plan. She whispered, “May I join your dance?” The vines swayed happily in reply.
