The Little Dream Garden
In a quiet neighborhood, there was a small abandoned garden that no one visited. The plants were wilted, and leaves were scattered everywhere. But four children were about to transform this garden into a magical place full of colors and joy!
Emma was walking to school when she saw the abandoned garden. She stopped and looked sadly at the wilted roses.
"How beautiful this place would be if it were cared for!" Emma said in a dreamy voice.
Jack heard her as he passed by: "Would you like us to help fix it?"
Lily and Noah joined them, and they began their journey to transform the garden. They worked together every day after school.
Emma brought red rose seeds, and Jack brought gardening tools. Lily helped clean the leaves, while Noah carefully watered the plants.
After two weeks, the garden transformed into a small paradise. The roses bloomed in bright colors, and butterflies danced around the flowers.
"We did it!" the children shouted with joy. "When we work together, we can achieve miracles!"
