Sally was playing catch in her yard. Thump! The ball hit a bush, and it opened a door!

Beyond the door was a garden, colorful and bright. 'Hello!' said a voice. Sally jumped with fright.

It was just a flower, smiling wide. 'Welcome,' it said, 'Come, look inside.'

Sally saw animals chatting away. 'Can you help us?' they asked. 'A riddle to play?'

'What has keys but opens no lock?' They asked her to guess. Sally thought hard as she sat on a rock.

'A piano!' Sally exclaimed. The animals clapped. 'You are clever indeed; a problem unwrapped!'

Further in, plants whispered a task, 'To pass, answer this,' they said with a bask.

'What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but not once in a thousand years?' The plants giggled.

Sally pondered the plants' clever quiz. She then smiled. 'The letter 'm' is the answer,' she replied.

With each step, Sally learned something new. She saw a tree frown, its leaves were so few.

'Dear tree, why so blue?' asked Sally, so kind. 'My leaves keep falling off, solutions I cannot find.'

Sally thought and thought, then had an insight. 'Let's build a net to catch them, just right.'

They built a net from vines; it was quite a sight. Leaves floated down, and the tree laughed with delight.

The garden was safe, all thanks to her. 'For solving our troubles, we owe you a tour.'

Sally explored it all, from flowers to streams. The magical garden, a land of dreams.
