🍄 Pirrewitje, the Ladybug, and the Little Surprise
On a soft September afternoon, Pirrewitje stepped out of his hollowed tree.
“Pirrewit wit wit, what shall I do today?” he sang cheerfully.
Then he heard a tiny voice among the leaves.
“Hello… is anyone there?”
Pirrewitje looked under a big green leaf. There sat a ladybug with seven beautiful black spots.
“Hi!” said Pirrewitje. “Why are you hiding all the way here?”
“I wanted to fly to the flower meadow,” said the ladybug, “but I no longer know which way to go.”
“Then let’s go together!” said Pirrewitje.
They walked past the mushrooms, along a winding path, and by a snail who very slowly said “good afternoon.”
Suddenly they saw something yellow in the grass.
A sunflower!
And behind it stood another… and another… as many as ten!
“The flower meadow!” the ladybug cried happily.
It flew up, made a joyful circle around Pirrewitje’s red pointy hat, and landed right on his nose.
“Tickle, tickle!” giggled Pirrewitje.
“Thank you for coming with me,” said the ladybug.
Pirrewitje smiled. “Sometimes it’s easier to find your way together.”
And while the September sun shone through the trees, they strolled together among the flowers.
Pirrewit wit wit, a good deed and a happy face! 🍄🐞🌻
