In a land of wonder, where the skies are blue, lived a mysterious girl named Sue. Her shoes went clip-clop, clip-clop—like a tiny train on a hopping hop.
Sue's hair was a swirl, like a candy twirl, and her eyes twinkled bright like stars at night. She had a hat of purple felt, with feathers that danced like springtime elves.
With a smile as wide as the crescent moon, Sue wandered the Whispering Woods, saying 'Whish! Whoosh! Whee!' to the trees, who giggled with glee.
The trees would sway and whisper back, 'Hello dear Sue, our favorite snack!' For she fed them tales of frolic and fun, making each story like a tasty bun.
But one day, at dawn's gentle glow, Sue met a squirrel named Jacko Joe. With a leap and a bound, he joined her round, chattering noisily, trying to astound.
'Sue, Sue, where to today?' chirped Jacko Joe in his brisk talky way. 'To the hill with the daffodils, where the wind hums with dream-like thrills,' replied Sue with a wink and a vague little smile.
Together they skipped, hop-hop-hopping like bunnies, to the hill where sunbeams tickled tummies. 'Look at that cloud, a fluffy cow!' laughed Sue in her peculiar wow.
As they reached the top, oh what a drop! The world spread out, a kaleidoscope crop. Colors danced in a dazzling display, as Sue spun around in joyful array.
Jacko Joe squeaked, 'What a sight, such delight!' And in that sight, Sue's dreams took flight. For they saw a unicorn with a horn of bright, galloping gracefully through morning light.
With a twinkle and a bow, the unicorn said, 'Who are you, who gather here ahead?' Sue replied with a giggle and glide, 'Just a mysterious girl with her squirrel guide.'
The unicorn nodded and pranced away, leaving a trail of stardust spray. Sue and Jacko laughed 'til twilight’s pull, in Whispering Woods where hearts are full.
In that boundless realm of whimsy and wear, Sue and Jacko knew they were rare. For in the Whispering Woods where magic plays, every day is full of mysterious ways.
