At sunrise, Mara knelt beside the lake with her sketchbook. She wanted to draw the mountain floating in the water.
When the Wind Folded the Lake in HalfRipples make the lake look restless until the wind grows gentle and the water smooths itself like a blanket.
1. At sunrise, Mara knelt beside the lake with her sketchbook. She wanted to draw the mountain floating in the water.
2. Then the wind rushed over the lake. It folded the reflection in half, and Mara's mountain became a wobbly gray zigzag.
3. Mara tried to draw the mountain anyway. But every ripple gave it a new hat, a new nose, or a very long neck.
4. Mara moved beneath the willow. The branches sheltered her, but they could not shelter the lake.
5. So Mara stopped chasing the picture. She sat still and listened to the water tapping the shore.
6. The wind puffed once, then twice. After that, it began to whisper instead of shout.
7. Mara opened her sketchbook again. The mountain waited, and this time it held still long enough for her pencil to find it.
8. Ripples make the lake look restless until the wind grows gentle and the water smooths itself like a blanket.
