Ola and her kitten Figa hear strange sounds in the garden bushes. A shiny ribbon, tiny paw prints, and a growing rustle turn an ordinary afternoon into a puzzling mystery.
Ola loved playing in the garden behind the house, especially with her kitten, Figa. One bright afternoon, while the sun warmed the grass, Figa suddenly froze beside the big raspberry bush.
"Meow," she said softly, staring at Ola with round eyes.
Ola stepped closer. Then she heard it too: a faint rustle, slow and careful, like someone moving leaves with tiny fingers. She bent down and peered under the bush. The branches shook again. Was it only the wind? Or something much smaller hiding in the shadows?
"Do you hear that, Figa?" Ola whispered.
Figa’s ears stood straight up. She gave a tiny purr, but her tail twitched.
Just then, something bright flashed beneath the leaves. Ola spotted a bit of shiny blue ribbon, and beside it, tiny paw prints pressed into the dirt. The bush shivered harder. Ola held her breath. Something was definitely there.
