Perwinkle's Adventures 2

Periwinkle rubbed her eyes before opening them as wide as she could.

In front of her was a carousel of ponies, bunnies, giraffes, fluffy cloud cars which all had little children on them.

From where she stood, Periwinkle could hear happy giggles and the tune of her favourite song Edelweiss. The little children wore bright coloured tops like Periwinkle and had the largest smiles on their faces.

As the song came to an end, the carousel slowed to a halt. At this instant, all the ponies, bunnies, giraffes and fluffy cloud cars started to detach themselves from the carousel and flew into the distant sky with all the little chilren still riding on them. What a sight!

Perwinkle couldn't believe her eyes! She decided to try it herself but there was no pony, bunny, giraffe or fluffy cloud car for her to ride on. Nonetheless, she took one big step onto the carousel. To her amazement, a giant purple butterfly with yellow polka dots flew and stopped right in front of Periwinkle!

This made Periwinkle squeal in delight! As she got onto the giant butterfly, Edelweiss started to play again. Periwinkle moved up and down as the giant butterfly took her high and low, just like a real carousel! And when the giant butterfly flapped its wings, glittering gold dust fell to the ground, shimmering in the beams of sunlight.

Periwinkle could not see where she was but she enjoyed the ride tremendously! No wonder the little children couldn't stop giggling earlier. Perwinkle couldn't contain her excitement and broke out in peals of laughter throughout the ride!

Soon, Edelweiss started to fade away. At this point, the giant butterfly started to flap its wings even harder.

Before Periwinkle knew it, she was flying away with the giant butterfly away from the carousel.

"Where are you taking me to, giant butterfly?" asked Periwinkle.
