Underneath the waterfall watching melting chunks of ice fall and splash into the stream. In the high reaching branches of tall trees covered with glittering icicles. In the cozy hollows that small rodents used as a nest to escape the cool winter weather. But this happy little spirit had a preference for summer. Warm winds, blue skies, and sunflowers as far as the eye could see!<br/><br/>The yellow blossoms could often be found covered in butterflies (https://wallpaper.dog/large/17057031.jpg) that fluttered from bloom to bloom. This particular spirit enjoyed sneaking down to the roots of the plant and waiting for a flock of butterflies to find the compound flowers. Lazily, the spirit would look up at the green and yellow plants reaching high into the blue sky. Fluffy clouds would cause shadows to pass overhead and the butterflies would pause on the flower, closing their wings as they wanted for the sun to come back out. Another butterfly would land. And then another. And another! As the clouds were blown away by the wind, brightening the area once more, the happy little spirit would<em>zoom!</em>upwards with frightening speed to startle the delicate insects! As distraught wings fluttered away in a panic, the happy spirit would tremble in glee at its prank.<br/><br/><strong>"If you like these butterflies, wait until an entire flock is startled into the sky! It's so pretty!"</strong><br/><br/>The little spirit ushered her little herd of elephants. The playful creatures jumped and stumbled, galloped and fumbled. Kicking up powdery snow and shaking the sparkling stuff off of trees was an exciting event as they moved towards the west side of the island. When they finally made it, the sunflowers the happy spirit had promised had long ago been spent. The withered bodies of the plants hunched over, their 12 feet diminished as they had shriveled and dried out as the seasons had changed. They were blanketed with a fresh coat of snow.<br/><br/><strong>"This is the spot!"</strong>the happy spirit chimed in its sing-song voice.<strong>"It doesn't look like much now, but THIS is where you want to be in summer! The giant flowers have blooms as large and as bright as the sun! They're covered with leaves as big as your ears that offer shade from the heat. Their fuzzy stalks are covered in funny little ants. And the butterflies! They flutter around happily. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them! We can come back in the summer and I will show you how to shake the butterflies out!"</strong>To illustrate, the happy little spirit floated into the grove and hid for dramatic affect. After a few moments, the creature<em>zoomed!</em>upwards, causing an explosion of snow to burst upwards and then sprinkle down. The happy little spirit laughed and laughed, moving to swirl around the elephants.
