Jen's Giggle-berry Pie Adventure

In a garden where pumpkins snoozed like big, round uncles and flowers wore colours brighter than any crayon, lived a little girl named Jen. Jen was courageous. She’d say a cheerful "G'day!" to the buzziest bees and give the wiggliest worms a gentle poke. Her favourite place was this Garden Wonderland, where everything grew extra big and extra wonderful.

One sunny afternoon, Mum said, "Jen, my brave little helper, those Giggle-berries are jiggling on the bush! Shall we bake a Giggle-berry Pie?" Jen's eyes sparkled. But just then, the phone rang. "Could you be a super brave helper and get the ingredients ready for me?" Mum asked. "The recipe is on the bench." A big job just for her! Jen puffed out her chest, feeling as tall as a sunflower.

Marching into the kitchen, Jen saw the big bag of flour. "I can do this!" she thought, grabbing it with all her might. But *poof*! A fluffy white cloud exploded everywhere, dusting her nose like a little ghost. "Whoops-a-daisy!" she giggled, but her courage felt a bit wobbly. She tried scooping sugar with her hands, but it cascaded like a waterfall onto the floor. The kitchen was turning into a very sticky, messy muddle.

Mum came in and saw the mess, but she just smiled warmly. "Baking is like a science experiment, my love. Being brave means being careful, too." She showed Jen the colourful measuring cups. Together, they carefully counted. "One scoop of flour... tap, tap, tap. Two scoops... tap, tap, tap." Jen's courage came right back. She wasn't just making a mess; she was being a precise and clever kitchen scientist, measuring everything just right.

Soon, the whole house smelled of warm berries and sweet pastry. The Giggle-berry Pie sat cooling on the bench, golden and perfect. Jen had the very first slice, and it tasted of sunshine and success. She learned that being courageous wasn't only about tackling big things, but also about learning to do small things carefully. And in her Garden Wonderland, Jen was the bravest, and now the best, pie-maker of all.
