A Splash for a Daisy

I couldn't resist trotting down the sidewalk until the sweet, leafy scent of the neighborhood flower shop drew me right in! Down on the damp flagstones beside the display, a single pastel pink daisy had tumbled out of its bucket, looking completely stranded. I couldn't just leave it there! Bracing my boots against the wet stone, I gripped the slender green stem with both gloved hands and hauled with all my might. Puffing and tugging, I hoisted it up onto the bottom cedar tier of the cart. With one gentle nudge of my wand, I slid the cut stem safely into a shallow saucer of water, watching the pale petals instantly perk right up!
