The Great Lilac Ribbon Rescue!

Suki, the little ninja girl, loved her special lilac ribbon. It was tied perfectly to her dark grey ninja suit. She was playing in the sunny garden with her friend Namu and her pet triceratops, Eki.

Suki was showing Namu a new dance move when whoosh! A big gust of wind blew by. It snatched Suki's beautiful lilac ribbon right off her suit!

"Oh no!" cried Suki. The ribbon danced high in the air, then floated away over the big green hedge.

"Don't worry, Suki!" said Namu. "We can find it! This looks like an adventure!" Eki let out a happy little rumble, ready to go.

The three friends followed the ribbon's path. It led them to the edge of the garden, where a very tall, thorny bush stood. The lilac ribbon was caught right at the very top!

"It's too high!" Suki sighed. Namu, being very athletic, looked up. "Maybe I can climb!" she said. She tried to reach, but the thorns were too prickly.

Eki, being a bit clumsy but very strong, looked at the bush. He took a tiny step back. Then, with a gentle bump of his head, he nudged the bush's trunk! The bush wiggled, and the ribbon shook.

"Look!" Suki cried. The ribbon started to slide down! Namu quickly reached out, and plop! The soft lilac ribbon landed right in her hand. Suki cheered, giving Namu a big hug. They had found the ribbon together!
