Read the complete story
A Quiet Morning
The sun rises over Moonflower Wood. Everything is bright and golden. Lulu and Pip walk to the Willow Brook. Lulu has pink hair in a short braid. She wears a moss-green dress. Pip is a small grey mouse. He wears a sky-blue scarf. Usually, the water makes a happy, singing sound. The brook loves to sing! But today is different. The brook is very silent. Lulu looks at the water. "Where is the music?" she asks. The forest is very quiet.
The Silent Water
Lulu flies low over the blue water. Her dragonfly wings go flutter, flutter. Pip stands on a small stone. He listens with his big, round ears. He is very quiet. "Where is the music?" asks Pip. He looks at the brook. The water moves slowly over the grey stones. It flows and flows. But there is no song. There is no happy sound. The brook is very, very silent today. This is a big mystery for the little friends.
The Big Obstacle
Lulu and Pip walk along the water. They follow the brook to the Old Oak. Suddenly, they stop. Oh no! A big pile of leaves is in the way. The leaves are heavy and very wet. They stick together like a thick, brown blanket. The leaves block the narrow path of the water. The water cannot flow. Everything is very still. "Look at that!" says Pip. He points with his little nose. The leaves are a big problem for the brook.
A New Idea
Lulu tries to help. She flies to the leaves. She pushes them with her small, clear wings. But the leaves are too heavy. They are also very wet. Lulu is tired. "Oh no, it is too much!" says Lulu. Pip looks around. He sees a long, brown stick on the ground. It is very strong. Pip has a clever idea. "Look, Lulu! We can use this stick like a rake!" says Pip. He smiles at his friend. They can solve this problem together.
Working Together
Pip takes the strong stick. He pulls the stick through the wet leaves. It is hard work! Lulu wants to help her friend. She uses her magic star-dew. The magic sparkles like tiny lights. Now the leaves are very slippery. Pip pulls and Lulu helps with her magic. Together they move the heavy leaf-blanket away. The leaves slide to the side. Suddenly, the path is clear. The water can flow freely again! They did it! Teamwork is very helpful.
The Happy Song
Suddenly, the water moves! The brook starts to sing again. Splash, splash! The water jumps happily over the grey stones. The music is back. It is a very happy song. Lulu and Pip are very happy too. They sit together on the green grass by the bank. Lulu wiggles her pink hair. Pip wiggles his long grey tail. The forest is full of music once more. Everything is beautiful and bright. The little friends listen to the song together.
