Lily, Mia, Zoé, and Ana were two and very brave. They held hands in a bright boat made of a leaf. “Hop!” said Lily. The leaf boat went swish-swish on a blue stream.
Ahead was a soft fog gate. “Toc-toc,” said Mia, tapping it. The fog gate opened like a big, kind curtain. On the other side, the Sky Garden sang “la-la-la” with tiny bells.
A silver fish jumped. “Plouf!” It dropped a small star key in the water. Zoé reached with a cup. “Sip-sip,” went the cup. The star key was safe.
Now a tall hill of pillows rose up. The girls climbed, step-step. Ana panted, then smiled. “Up!” she said. At the top, the wind kissed their cheeks and made their hair dance.
Far away, a sleepy castle made of clouds waited. The door had a star hole. Lily put in the key. Click! The door opened.
Inside was a warm room with a big lamp like a moon. It glowed and showed a map on the floor, all lines and dots. “Go!” said Mia. They followed the dots, hop-hop, to a window.
They looked out. The whole world shone: stream, garden, hill, and sky. They hugged, giggling. “We did it,” said Zoé.
Moral: Small steps, taken together, can bring big bright adventures.
