A little preview
Rain tapped the roof like someone counting a secret. Alex peered out to the garden where a small rabbit hugged itself beneath a curled fern. The rabbit's name was Puddle—because it preferred dry moss to any splish-splash. Puddle shivered; the rain had washed the berries away and made the burrow muddy. Alex gathered a bright umbrella, a towel with stitched stars, and a muffin for later. They crossed the wet yard toward Puddle with a slow, careful smile.
