Maggie is a ballerina on a big ship.
The waves splash softly on the hull.
Maggie hears the splash.
She taps her toes.
She smiles.
The ship has red sails and a wooden deck.
It sails on the blue sea.
Maggie loves the gentle sway.
She feels happy and free.
She hums a little tune.
She watches the waves.
She dreams of dancing.
Maggie wears soft pink slippers.
Her slippers are light and smooth.
They sparkle in the sunlight.
They feel like clouds on her feet.
She hugs her slippers.
Her friend is Flower.
Flower is a tiny fairy.
Flower has bright green hair.
Her wings shine with gold sparkles.
Flower lives in a small pot on deck.
She sits by Maggie.
She shares happy moments.
They laugh a little laugh.
One morning a Frost Mage arrives.
He carries a cool breeze.
He is a mage of ice and snow.
He wears a tall blue hat.
He smiles but his wind is strong.
He blows his magic on the ship.
Snowflakes swirl in the air.
Maggie shivers.
The wind blows off a pink slipper.
Maggie gasps.
The slipper twirls away.
It lands on a high rope.
The other slipper flies too.
It lands near a round porthole.
Maggie feels sad.
She puts her hand to her heart.
She calls, “My slippers!”
Flower hears the cry.
She hovers close.
She says, “I will help you.”
Maggie nods and takes Flower’s hand.
They look near the mast.
They look under a barrel.
They look by the anchor.
They look by the sail.
They look by the cabin door.
They never give up.
They listen to the breeze.
They keep trying.
They see one slipper on the rope.
It hangs like a pink flower.
Maggie stretches up.
She stands on her tiptoe.
She touches the rope.
She grabs the slipper with care.
The sun feels warm on Maggie’s face.
She closes her eyes.
She breathes in the shine.
They search for the second slipper.
Flower flies near the porthole.
She peers inside.
She spots the pink slipper.
She calls, “Here it is!”
Maggie smiles big.
She reaches and takes it.
Maggie has her slippers back.
She dances on the deck.
She spins and twirls.
She feels warm again.
She laughs with Flower.
The Frost Mage watches.
He claps his hands.
He says, “Well done, Maggie.”
Maggie says, “Thank you, Mage.”
Flower sprinkles gold dust.
The sun feels warm on Maggie’s face.
She closes her eyes.
She drinks in the sunshine.
Flower rests on her shoulder.
Maggie hugs Flower.
They breathe deep.
Maggie gives Flower a ribbon.
Flower gives Maggie a small snowflake charm.
Maggie ties the charm to her slippers.
The ship sails on.
The sky glows pink.
Maggie dances one more time.
She feels safe and brave.
She thanks Flower softly.
She waves to the Frost Mage.
He waves back gently.
They are all happy.
Maggie and Flower sit by a lantern.
They share a sweet snack.
They feel sleepy and calm.
