Amara and the Missing Sparkle
Amara the fairy wakes up and her sparkle is gone! Where could it have gone?
Amara the fairy woke up in her tiny flower bed. ‘Oh no!’ she cried. She looked in the mirror. Her sparkle was gone! Her wings were plain and her dust wouldn’t glow.
‘I must find my sparkle,’ said Amara. She flew over the garden, high and low. She looked under leaves and behind stones. But there was no sparkle anywhere.
Ravi the turtle was sitting by a puddle, looking sad. ‘My little home is muddy,’ said Ravi. ‘I can’t get it clean.’ Amara wanted to look for her sparkle, but she couldn’t leave Ravi like that.
Amara helped. She rolled up her sleeves. They scrubbed the floor. They swept the doorstep. They opened the windows. When they finished, Ravi’s house was spotless. ‘Thank you!’ said Ravi.
Then Ravi gasped. ‘Look at your wings!’ Little golden lights were floating around Amara’s shoulders. The sparkle was back! It had been hiding in a ladybird’s spotty back all along.
Amara laughed and spun around. ‘My sparkle only shines when I’m kind,’ she said. Then she scattered fairy dust all over the garden. Every flower glowed.
