The carousel spun in the park.
It was bright and colorful.
“Wow!” said Lily. “Look at the horses!”
The horses looked real, and shiny.
“Let’s ride!” said Max, her brother.
Lily and Max ran to the carousel.
The carousel was special.
It was old but magical.
Grandpa said it had secrets.
Lily and Max loved secrets.
Their friends, Mia and Ben, joined in.
“Let’s all ride together!” said Mia.
The carousel started to turn.
“Hold on tight!” said Ben.
The horses began to move.
“Are they real?” asked Lily.
“Yes!” shouted Max. “They’re moving!”
The kids laughed and cheered.
“Whee!” yelled Ben. “This is fun!”
The carousel began to fly.
“Up, up, up we go!” said Mia.
“We’re flying!” said Lily.
The park looked tiny below.
The kids waved at the trees.
“Look at the birds!” said Max.
“We’re just like them,” said Lily.
The carousel came down.
“That was amazing!” said Ben.
“Best ride ever!” shouted Max.
The kids hopped off, smiling.
“We’ll come back tomorrow,” said Lily.
“And fly again!” said Mia.
The carousel winked at them.
The end.
