Beyond the Garden Gate
Eva and Roger lived in a small house with a wild green garden.
One morning, the garden gate creaked open all by itself. Eva gasped.
· 1–2 ·
Beyond the gate stood a tall stone castle. Roger blinked. "Snack?" he asked.
· 3 ·
"Adventure first, snack later," Eva grinned. She grabbed his hand and ran.
· 4 ·
Eva pushed the first door. The door went CREEEAK. And inside was a room full of singing teapots!
· 5 ·
Roger tugged her sleeve. "Snack?" Eva laughed. "Not yet, silly. Onward!"
· 6 ·
Eva pushed the second door. The door went CREEEAK. And inside was a room full of dancing brooms!
· 7 ·
Roger tugged her sleeve. "Snack?" Eva laughed. "Not yet, silly. Onward!"
· 8 ·
They climbed higher up the winding stairs. Roger's tummy rumbled like thunder.
Eva pushed the third door. The door went CREEEAK. And inside was...
· 9–10 ·
...Mom! Holding a tray of warm cookies and pink lemonade.
· 11 ·
"There you two are!" Mom smiled. "I wondered when you'd find my secret picnic spot."
· 12 ·
Eva's eyes went wide. "You knew about the castle?" Mom winked softly.
· 13 ·
"I played here when I was little, too. The gate only opens for brave hearts."
· 14 ·
Roger reached for a cookie. "Snack!" he cheered. Everyone laughed together.
· 15 ·
And from that day on, the garden gate was always just a little bit open. The End.
