The Grand Balloon and the Giggling Girl

story image
Once upon a breeze, there fluttered a balloon, grander than any ever seen, and beneath it bounced a little blonde girl with curls like golden springs. Her giggles sprinkled through the air as the balloon bobbed and danced, tugging her with delight. People marveled, "What fun!" they cheered.
Through the meadow, over the ducklings, they soared—a parade of joy! She waved at the sun, giggled at the clouds, and learned the language of wind whispers. When the day yawned to a close, she hugged her balloon, its string wound 'round her wrist—a promise of more sky-kissed adventures to come.
