In a sunny meadow, hidden among the flowers, the Striped Sprite yawned and stretched.
She had stripes of green and yellow that sparkled in the morning light.
Today, she decided to explore beyond the meadow, into the whispering woods.
She packed a tiny knapsack with berry jam and a map of the woods.
On her way, she met a busy bee who buzzed about the brightest flowers.
The bee told her about a hidden grove where the best berries grew wild.
She thanked the bee and followed a path lined with stones and giggling streams.
In the grove, she found the berries. Blue, red, and purple, they were everywhere!
As she picked the berries, she noticed a small bird with a twisted wing.
She approached gently. 'What happened?' she asked. The bird chirped sadly.
With care, she wrapped the wing in a leaf and gave the bird some berry jam.
The bird sang a grateful song. Friends made, she continued her journey home.
