Rose watched the trees and bushes get out of the way of her crescent moon shaped boulder as it floated through the woods with her on it, heading toward the ocean. A bluejay sat on her right shoulder, a rabbit sat on her lap.
A family of rabbits had brought her a bouquet of roses for her trip. Though she couldn’t see them, she knew there were six wolves arranged in a circle around her, to keep her safe.
When she got hungry, the moon stopped moving, and walked around a bit to gather berries and nuts to eat. She didn’t have to gather many. The birds, rabbits, and foxes all gathered plenty for her.
As she ate berries and nuts, she looked around. The forest was quite nice, but she missed the flower gardens she had at the lake. With that, she walked around the moon, and wherever her feet touched the ground, a large circle of flowers, several feet across, sprouted, grew, and bloomed. Chrysanthemums, Daffodils, Irises, Roses, and Lillies, from bare ground to full bloom, until they surrounded the moon. Rose loved the flowers.
After she had eaten, and the flowers were in bloom, she got back on the moon, and resumed her journey. As she did, she decided to leave flowers everywhere she stopped. She patted the rabbit on her lap, and said to the Bluejay on her shoulder, “Boy, do we have a lot of work to do on this trip.”
