Once upon a time in a meadow full of blooming, sunlit flowers, there stood a sunflower that defied every rule of nature. It was taller than an oak tree and stretched its golden face to greet the sun each morning!

‘Wow!’ cried [Leo](G53SWB7W), the boy who loved exploring. ‘It’s taller than my big brother! How is it even possible?’ [Leo](G53SWB7W) stared up at the flower, wondering if it touched the sky.

With [Leo](G53SWB7W) was [Clover](3JCL4J66), the chatty rabbit, and [Seneca](T3QT6PPH), the wise little turtle. ‘I read once that flowers can grow as high as dreams!’ said [Seneca](T3QT6PPH) with a knowing smile.

[Clover](3JCL4J66) hopped excitedly. ‘Let’s climb it and see what the view is like at the top!’ But [Seneca](T3QT6PPH) chuckled. ‘Why don’t we ask it how it got so magical?’

Suddenly, the sunflower’s deep, velvety voice boomed out, ‘Climbing me isn’t necessary, young friends. I have stories to tell. I grew this tall because I chased the sun—and believe me, the sun loves a good chase!’

‘Chased the sun?’ [Leo](G53SWB7W) asked with wide eyes. ‘How did you do that?’ The sunflower laughed gently. ‘Every morning, I wake up and turn my face to the sun! I reach higher and higher.’

‘You see,’ the sunflower continued, ‘life is about following your light—just like I follow mine. Find what makes you grow, and reach for it as high as you can!’

[Leo](G53SWB7W) smiled and held out his notebook. ‘You mean like drawing and exploring? Those things make me feel alive!’ The sunflower nodded its leaves gently, delighted.

As the day went by, [Leo](G53SWB7W), [Clover](3JCL4J66), and [Seneca](T3QT6PPH) spent hours with the sunflower, laughing and learning. They left with a promise to chase their light, just like the sunflower.

From that day on, [Leo](G53SWB7W) and his friends always remembered the wise sunflower’s words: follow your light, and you’ll grow as tall as your dreams!
