The Spring That Brought Magic One morning in the spring she heard the wind say, "The sun and I will chase the winter out so you can move into your playhouse again with your friends." So she opened all the doors and windows, and the sun sent its warm rays through, while the wind ran behind them and whistled tunes inside. That afternoon her mother set up a garden party to celebrate spring, and all her friends came, bringing along the toys they got during winter. Squirrels played with butterflies in the trees. Bright green grass began to grow, until it covered the whole back yard like a soft blanket replacing the old brown grass. Everything smelled fresh and wonderful. Trees budded and brand new leaves appeared. Flowers sprang up everywhere, and soon there were even more flowers in her yard than kids, and for every flower they picked, two more grew back! It was all like magic. And, for every kid who joined their club, two squirrels asked if they could too! That was her most magic spring! Charles Albano, 2005.
