She diligently gathers, inviting siblings to the feast,a bowl of snails, flower petals, shells and bark;
Practicing her culinary skills, she stirs with nature's spoon.
There's pride in her offering and they kindly comply by
pretending to gobble up every last crunchy bite.
A satisfied smile crosses her smudgy mouth and
she wipes grimy, dirt-caked hands on her dress.
