It was a rainy afternoon. All the Elementrees were in their homes.
Bobby Bishop turned to what he enjoyed doing most: playing chess. He had no one to play with so he played the game by himself. It was not easy to play himself because he always knew what he was thinking of doing next.

People often cannot see me. I like it that way. As tall as I am, most of the time, I am invisible.
I am a water enigma. I’ve never heard of anything more revolting in my life.

Tommy Tomorrow ayoved to stare up at the sky, whether it was day or night. He always saw something interesting up there.
It was a particularly clear sky this night. He saw the constellation Orion. It was the easiest one for him to identify because it had three straight stars across Orion’s belt. He also was good at finding the Big Dipper. All the other stars were a mystery to him.

He figured he would take the first step in this friendship: he would hug a tree, with permission of course.

Cynthia Buttons had many talents, but her favorite special gift she told no one about: she could make anyone smile. She especially enjoyed taking frowning people and making them smile.
Her technique was simple. She would find a frowning person and just think, “I can make you smile at me.” Then, she would look at them for a few seconds as a smile would creep up the corners of her mouth. Before she knew it, they were smiling at her. It worked every time.
