Chapter 34
The Golden Beetle and the Pink Flower Boat
Year 1 of the Rainbow Era, Spring Late Afternoon
The cold grey cloud blew away, and a warm sunbeam lit up Chloe's star daisy crown with dancing rainbow colors while Blossom and Pip cheered.
Chloe sits down softly on the green moss under the big fern leaf. Her star daisy crown glows with soft rainbow light in the warm air. She sees a tiny round bug with shiny gold wings walk very slowly across a blade of grass. Chloe points her finger and whispers hello. Blossom and Pip lean in close to look at the little visitor. The beetle lifts one tiny leg as if it is waving back. They all giggle softly together.
Chloe giggles softly as the golden beetle stops on her green moss. She finds a soft pink petal and lays it down like a little boat. The beetle crawls right onto the pink petal and wiggles its shiny golden back in a happy way. It taps the petal twice with its shiny feelers to say thank you. What sweet game will the little beetle and her fairy friends play next in the soft green grass?
