The baby elephant, named Mimi, was shy but friendly. She nudged Lily’s hand with her trunk. Suddenly, a loud sneeze erupted from the little elephant. Lily watched in surprise as the sneeze sent a tiny ripple through the air. All the flowers around seemed to sparkle just for a moment.

The sneeze was not ordinary; it had a magical sparkle. Soon, the bright ball of dust drifted over the playground. The children’s toys started shrinking, one by one. Then, a small fish in the aquarium leapt up and shone brighter. The whole zoo felt like a wiggly, dancing space.

Lily felt a pang of worry. She wanted to help everyone. She whispered, “Let’s keep the sneeze kind.” The zoo keeper handed her a gentle whistle. Together they blew the whistle in rhythm with Lily’s laughter. Slowly, everything returned to its normal size. The animals chirped, the wind calmed, and Mimi looked happier.
