The Dark Petals
The night was very quiet in the deep forest. Lulu, the fairy, flew through the tall trees. She looked for the magic moon-flowers. Usually, the flowers glowed in a soft, silver light. But tonight, everything was dark. The moon-flowers were all closed tight. Their petals looked dark and sleepy. "That is very strange," Lulu whispered to herself. "Why are they sleeping so early?" The forest felt cold and too dim. Lulu was a little bit worried. Something was definitely not right in the woods tonight.
A Tiny Meeting
Lulu flew toward a very large oak tree. She heard a small sound in the grass. "Squeak, squeak!" It was Pip, the mouse. He had big, round ears and a long, grey tail. Pip looked very worried. "The flowers are sleeping too early," Pip whispered. Lulu nodded her head. Her pink hair shone in the dark. "That is very strange," said Lulu. "We must find out why!" Pip stood up tall. "I will help you," he said. Now, the two friends were a team.
The Sticky Path
Lulu and Pip walked toward the flower meadow. Suddenly, Lulu stopped. "Oh no!" she cried. The ground was very strange. They were walking on thick, golden pine resin. It smelled very sweet. Pip tried to take a step, but his little foot stayed stuck. "Help!" squeaked Pip. He pulled and pulled, but the resin was too strong. Lulu used a drop of magic star-dew from her pocket. The stickiness vanished instantly! They were free from the sweet, golden trap and could continue their journey.
The Obstacle
Oh no! A heavy branch lay on the ground. It blocked the path to the flower meadow. Lulu looked at the big piece of wood. "We must go around," said Pip. Lulu shook her head. She wanted to fly over the branch. She flapped her dragonfly wings very fast. But the wind was too strong today! The wind pushed Lulu back down. "Whoosh!" went the wind. Lulu landed softly on a mossy stone. The branch was just too big for her to move alone.
A Bright Idea
Pip saw a long, thin twig in the grass. "Look, Lulu!" he called excitedly. "We can use this twig as a lever!" Pip pushed the twig under the heavy branch. He pressed with all his strength. The branch wiggled a little. "That is not quite enough," said Lulu. She had an idea. Lulu flew very close to the branch. She beat her sparkling wings hard to create a strong breeze. Together, with Pip's lever and Lulu's wind, they pushed the branch aside. Now the path was clear.
The Discovery
Lulu and Pip finally reached the flower meadow. The flowers were still closed and dark. "Look over there!" Pip whispered. He pointed with his tiny paw. In the middle of the moonlight path, something blocked the light. It was a very large, shiny pebble. The pebble was smooth and bright, but it was in the wrong place. It cast a big, dark shadow over the sleeping flowers. "The stone is hiding the moonlight!" Lulu said. Now they knew the secret of the dark petals.
Working Together
The shiny pebble was very heavy. "One, two, three!" shouted Lulu. She pressed her tiny hands against the stone and pushed with all her strength. Pip grabbed the other side with his little paws. He pulled and pulled with his strong mouse muscles. They worked together as a perfect team. Suddenly, the pebble moved! It rolled away from the path. The bright moonlight fell directly onto the sleeping flowers. The magic light was back. The mystery was solved!
Glowing Night
Suddenly, the magic returned. The moonlight hit the meadow again. Slowly, the moon-flowers opened their petals. They glowed with a bright, silver light. The whole forest looked beautiful and warm now. "We did it!" cried Pip with a happy squeak. Lulu smiled and fluttered her wings. The darkness was gone. The flowers were happy and awake. Lulu and Pip sat together in the soft grass. They rested under the warm, silver light. It was a perfect, glowing night in the forest.
