Startled she shifted from her hiding place behind the bush what was more interesting to see was that not only her, but the leaf too,seem to be startled it seems, both of them got scared of each other. The leaf was blushy green in colour, with a bit of strawberry red dotty impressions on it.Amazed by the beauty of that leaf, the girl forgot her fear for a while, and bent down to pick up the leaf, Holding the leaf up, she started to look through it and the leaf too,appeared as it had started to enjoy the girl's company She rubbed her fingers over the leaf, slowly and slowly- she could start to feel connected,to feel the emotions of the leaf. The leaf too, started to unroll itself , as if happily. enjoying being massaged by her new friend - the little girl. Little girl,did not realize that this leaf was a magical one and can grant 1 wish to someone who can make her happy and bloom She kept on playing with the leaf, gently rubbing it, looking through it, playing with the red prints . Then suddenly, it started to rain and the water drops on that leaf began shining like a pearl. Ohh, I forgot my umbrella, the girl said, as if speaking to the leaf estimating the fear in the Girl's mind, the leaf decided that it was the time to reveal it's true identity.
