Cooperation

Margaret paused, uncertain which path to take. Then she turned to Gabriella and Libby. “Let’s decide together,” she said, drawing them close. They each shared what they saw in the paths ahead, pointing out vines, slopes, and strange glows. They laughed, piecing together a plan.

When they reached a beautiful grove filled with shimmering light, Pixie appeared, clapping her tiny hands in delight. Margaret realized that sometimes, the best choice was trusting her friends and working as one.
