Willow Charms woke up early in the enchanted meadow. She felt the soft wind tickle her face. The meadow was filled with gentle light from the morning sun.

Frostyline Fable waddled nearby, eager to explore. The whimsical Snowman loved how the bright flowers danced in the breeze.

In the distance, a small pond sparkled like a mirror, reflecting fluffy clouds above. The water rippled gently, making each cloud look wiggly.

Willow Charms plucked bright yellow blossoms. She noticed a sound, like a tiny whistle. A swirl of air spun the petals around her feet.

Frostyline Fable giggled and said, “That dancing wind looks fun!” The Snowman reached out to feel the moving air.

The breeze twisted and grew stronger, making the meadow grass bend. A swirling wind funnel began to form in the open field.

Willow Charms pointed her wand. “Let’s see how the air moves,” she said. Tiny sparkles appeared, showing the swirling currents dancing together.

Frostyline Fable tilted his head. “Wow! It looks like hot air and cold air are spinning, playing tag in the sky.” He remembered to stand back, keeping a safe distance.
