Curioot

🌀 ZigZag Tricks

Raindrop Mushrooms

Teacup Clouds

One morning, Curioot became

interested in a puddle.

The puddle sat in the middle

of the trail looking perfectly

ordinary.

Curioot studied it carefully

like a bookworm.

Then circled around it.

The mud seemed pleased

with the decision.

So Curioot circled a little

farther around.

The mud became muddier.

Curioot considered this.

Then circled farther around again.

The puddle remained pleased

with the arrangement.

Around the puddle went Curioot.

Around the puddle around the mud

around the puddle around the mud.

By noon, the trail had become

mostly mud and very little trail.

The puddle appeared to be

winning.

It seemed very proud of

itself.

Nearby, a mushroom was wearing

a raindrop.

The raindrop looked delighted.

The mushroom tried to act

casual about the whole thing.

A breeze wandered through

carrying a cloud shaped

like a teacup.

Curioot tilted its head.

The cloud tilted back.

A pinecone balanced on a root.

Several leaves gathered to watch.

Nobody seemed concerned about

the puddle anymore.

Not even the puddle.

Farther ahead, the trail curved

around a patch of sunlight that

appeared to be growing sideways.

Curioot wandered over to inspect it.

The sunlight seemed busy

painting freckles on the forest.

The pinecone remained balanced.

The mushroom continued wearing

its raindrop.

And somewhere behind them,

the puddle quietly ran out

of circles.

By afternoon, Curioot had found

three new trails, two interesting

questions, and a pinecone that

seemed to know something.

The mud was still there.

The forest simply had better ideas.

And the moon smiled upside down.

The earth whispered, "Wheee."

And there are popsicles on

Thursdays.

The trail wondered off

Trees nod politely
