Dewdrop Morning

Casy stretched her tiny green body in the warm morning sun. The meadow sparkled with dewdrops on every blade of grass. She loved exploring her home near the bubbling river.

"What a perfect day for an adventure!" she said to herself.

Suddenly, something caught her eye. A flash of brilliant blue zipped past her nose, then another of shimmering green. Casy blinked her large curious eyes. The flying jewels moved too fast to see clearly.

"Wait!" she called out, but they were already gone.

More colorful streaks danced above the water — red ones, purple ones, some that looked like tiny rainbows. They darted and swooped with incredible speed.

Casy had never seen anything so beautiful and mysterious in her meadow before.
