Willow Charms waved her wand and tiny sparks flew across the big workshop. She hummed a happy tune while thinking of her next magic trick. “Today feels bright and new!” she said softly.
Outside, Buzzywhirl the giant insect tinkered with golden gears. He loved to fix anything shiny and whirling. “These gadgets are so exciting!” he said with a buzz of delight.
On a grand table, sparkly bits and pieces piled high. Some tools clanked against each other, making a bright ringing sound. The workshop was filling up with little parts that needed to be put away.
Willow flipped through her spell book. She giggled at the pictures of dancing broomsticks. “I want to make something new,” she whispered, “but first, I must find space to work.”
Buzzywhirl spun a tiny screwdriver between his fingers. He looked around at the scattered clutter. “We sure have a lot of stuff out,” he said, “maybe we should tidy up soon.”
Willow nodded, but she wanted to practice a new spell first. Her wand glimmered, and she chanted, “Twirly-Whirl, spin and swirl!” Little lights danced in the air around her.
Suddenly, a small whirling top began to glow bright green. It spun faster and faster, zipping across the table. Their tools clattered to the floor, making a noisy crash.
Buzzywhirl fluttered his wings in worry. “It might crash into my new clock!” he exclaimed. “We have to clear a path so we can catch it.”
