On a bright, sunny morning, Leela’s Garden Gift tells the story of a joyful little girl named Leela, who carefully gathers colorful flowers to create a special present for her beloved elephant statue, Ganesh.

Leela woke up and saw the bright sun. “Good morning!” she chirped. She put on her favorite swirly, twirly pink dress. It was a perfect day to play.

Tippy-toe, tippy-toe, out to the garden she went. The grass was soft and green under her little feet. “Hello, garden!” Leela sang.

The garden was full of colors. Red flowers, yellow flowers, and blue flowers, too! “Ooooh, so pretty!” whispered Leela, her eyes wide with wonder.

Leela wanted to give a present. First, she gently picked a bright red flower. Pluck! One flower for her present.

Next, she picked a sunny yellow flower. Pluck! It tickled her nose. “A-a-achoo!” she giggled. Two flowers for her present.

Then, she picked a sleepy blue flower. Pluck! Her hands were getting full of colors!

With her beautiful present, Leela walked to the front of the big house. A special friend was waiting for her there.

“Hello, Ganesh!” she said to the kind elephant statue. “I have a present for you.”

She sprinkled the colorful petals all around. Red petals, yellow petals, and blue petals fell like soft rain.

The statue looked so happy and bright! Leela clapped her hands. Giving her garden gift made her heart feel full of sunshine.
