Lil Bottle Rose and Lil Bottle Lavender are best friends.
They love to play with Aya and Chii, the little sisters who are genius at creating fun games.
It’ raining outside.
Rose and Lavender are looking at the raindrops trickling down the window.
Leaves of the tree in the garden are bowing low with heavy rain.
In the dining room, Aya and Chii are discussing how to make clothes for Lil Bottle Rose and Lil Bottle Lavender.
They picked some pretty patches from the sewing box and laid them on the table.
Rose and Lavender stood by them on the table.
They watched the girls and the rain, and the girls again, and then they noticed something in the sewing box.
“Look! What’s that? It’s pretty”
, said Rose.
In the sewing box
was a small square cushion with colored pearls on it, white, yellow, green...
“There it is♪”
Chii said and picked the white pearl and pulled it out.
It shone!
It was a saber with pearl grip.
It was so beautiful.
Lil Bottles gasped.
Chii pinned the edge of a pretty cloth with the saber.
“Keep it like this with the marking pin and sew from this end to that end. If we thread the ribbon, we can make a pretty cape.”
, explained Aya.
The girls began.
Rose and Lavender looked at each other and smiled.
With a cape
And
A pearl grip saber…
It’s ADVENTURE time!
It must be exciting.
They can fly in the air if the little girls hold them up.
As they were becoming dreamy, pearls in the sewing box came in sight again.
“I like that one.”
Rose pointed to the shiny white pearl.
“I Like that one.”
Lavender pointed to the shiny yellow one.
They couldn’t resist it and went closer to the sewing box.
They pulled out the pearls like Chii did.
I’t shone!
how beautiful it is!
Rose and Lavender walked to the window with the saber in their hands.
Raindrops are trickling down the window.
“Wouldn’t it be fun if we can pierce the raindrops with this?”
“Let’s try."
So, off they went into the rainy garden.
“Ooooooooh!”
“Heeeeeeey!”
They tried very hard,
but they couldn’t make it.
“Oh well, I thought it would be pretty to see crystal drops pierced through, but never mind.”
They looked up at the big tree in the garden.
They have seen it many times but now that they have a closer look, it looks even bigger.
“If we can get up to that branch, maybe we can see Aya and Chii in the house.”
“Let’s do that!”
Rose and Lavender hurried to the tree.
It looked even more bigger.
Rose took hold of the saber with both hands.
It shone!
Rose stung the saber on the tree trunk
and clung to the pearl grip,
then bounced as the needle went up and down.
“Look Lavender! We can jump up to that branch bouncing like this.”
Lavender followed.
Rose and Lavender bounced up and down for a moment and then,
with a
"Ready,Go”
Jumped up onto the branch.
They landed just where they wanted.
From up on the branch, they could see the little girls in the house!
“We can see them!”
“Hurray!”
Meanwhile, the little girls were so busy making the cape that they didn’t notice Rose and Lavender were gone.
They finally finished.
It was a very pretty cape.
When they were putting things away,
they realized that two pins were missing.
Mother had always told them to count pins and needles after using them.
It can be very dangerous, she says.
“Lil Bottle is missing, too.”
Aya checked under the table.
Chii checked under the chair cushion.
They wondered
and when they turned their heads to the window,
there they were,
looking at the girls,
from a tree.
“How did you get there!”
They were amazed.
When they saw the shining pins on the tree trunk, they understood.
“Let’s go, we have to save them.”
The girls ran to get their umbrella.
Rose and Lavender
didn’t know how to get off the tree.
Chii held the umbrella so that Aya won’t get wet,
and Aya tiptoed with her hands up, like a bowl.
Rose and Lavender jumped into Aya’s palms.
“What a brave bottle you are. I’ll dry you with towel when we get inside. You can put on your cape and your saber. Tell us all about your adventure.”
, said Aya.
“Use the saber only when you’re playing, ok? It can be very dangerous, you know. I understand how you feel, it’s so pretty.”
, said Chii. She pulled out the pins from the tree. She didn’t forget to stroke the trunk gently, it must have hurt…
Rose and Lavender were very happy.
Where will they go next?
