Early dawn light bathes Lily's backyard garden, dew-touched petals glowing. Lily tiptoes toward a pink tulip with a smiling face, cheeks shining with surprise amid the suddenly vibrant flowerbeds.
Lily tiptoed into her backyard garden and gasped. The flowers had bloomed overnight, brighter than ever before! Lily heard a soft giggle. She spun around and whispered, "Who is there?" A pink tulip replied, "Hello, Lily!" Lily's eyes sparkled with wonder.
Under bright mid-morning sunlight in the backyard garden, Lily kneels in the soil, hands clasped excitedly. She listens as a pink tulip with a smiling face and a blue daisy with tiny eyes sway like cheerful speakers.
"Did you just talk?" Lily asked the tulip excitedly. "Yes, we all can!" chirped a blue daisy nearby. The flowers swayed happily as Lily laughed. "Can you tell me your names?" she asked. "I'm Petal," said the tulip. The garden buzzed with cheerful voices.
Soft afternoon sunlight warms the backyard garden, casting gentle shadows over freshly turned soil. Lily crouches beside tiny holes, sprinkling water from a pastel watering can while a pink tulip with a smiling face watches the sparkling seeds.
Petal told Lily, "Plant these magic seeds for a surprise!" Lily dug small holes and gently placed the seeds inside. She watered them with a tiny watering can. The flowers hummed a soft song for the new seeds. Lily clapped her hands in delight. "I can't wait to see!" she exclaimed.
Bright morning sun bathes the backyard garden, lighting a new circle of multicolored flowers. Lily twirls on the grass, arms wide and smiling, as a pink tulip with a smiling face waves nearby.
In the morning, Lily rushed outside and gasped with joy. Beautiful new flowers had grown overnight, waving hello. "Thank you, Lily!" sang the garden together. Lily grinned and twirled, her new friends cheering. The magical garden was her happiest place. She promised to visit every day.
