A little preview
On the edge of a bright garden, Alex watched a hummingbird hover like a fast green jewel. The hummingbird, named Pip, clutched a very tiny wrapped seed—the mountain flower's last hope for next spring. Pip needed to carry it up the windy ridge where only the flower could catch the seed's sun. Pip looked worried; the wind was strong and Pip's wings were tired. Alex offered a soft scarf and a plan: maybe friends could help Pip finish the delivery.
