It was a sunny Saturday, the kind that makes pancakes giggle and sunbeams dance.
Mali peeked out of her window and saw possibility winking back. Adventure was afoot!
She called her friends, Lila, Panu, and Tom, with a voice as bright as a bell.
Together they pedaled, their wheels whirring, whispering wonder to the world.
The park loomed large, a giant in green, with swings that sang and grass that giggled.
They raced trees and chased the breeze, there was magic in every pedal push.
Mali imagined her bike was a dragon, fierce and free, soaring over grassy seas.
Lila laughed, the echo tickling clouds. Panu pretended he was a pirate at sea.
Tom shouted, 'Penguins can fly!' and for a moment, it seemed perfectly true.
They rested by the pond where frogs leapt like popcorn, popping with joy.
Finally, as the sun began to yawn, they headed home, tired but enchanted.
Mali whispered to the moon, 'See you next Saturday,' and felt its sleepy smile.
