The morning sun stretched long golden fingers through the trees, lighting the path where Mira and her grandfather walked. The air smelled of earth and wildflowers, and in the distance, the steady whisper of the stream called them closer. Mira skipped ahead, her pockets filled with acorns and small stones.
