Amaya sat on the porch, her eyes tracing the shapes of the clouds. 'One day,' she sighed, 'I'll design dresses as beautiful as those clouds.'
With a crayon in hand, she drew dresses all afternoon. Each one was more colorful than the last, just like the flowers in her garden.
She used old fabrics to make outfits for her dolls. Her favorite was a dress with tiny pink bows like the ones in her hair.
Amaya's friend, Ben, watched in awe. 'You're good at this,' he said. Amaya beamed with pride.
Ben suggested a fashion show. 'Your dolls could strut their stuff on the catwalk!' he chuckled. Amaya's eyes lit up at the idea.
They worked together, transforming the hallway into a dazzling runway. Silver paper served as lights, and a box was the stage.
Invitations were made, and soon the whole family was excited for the grand event. Amaya rehearsed her announcer speech.
The big day arrived, and Amaya's hands shook with nerves. 'You'll do great,' her mother whispered, squeezing her shoulder.
One by one, her dolls paraded on the runway. Each creation told a story, each stitch a part of Amaya's dream.
Amaya took a bow as her family clapped. 'We're proud of you,' her father said. 'Your designs are magical.'
The compliments filled her heart like a warm hug. 'Someday, I'll be a real fashion designer!' she exclaimed.
That night, under the stars, she made a wish on a twinkling light. 'I wish to make the world beautiful, one dress at a time.'
