The Little Hummingbirds’ Village

by Adore Alexander, Autumn Bays, Brooklyn Sturdivant, Karon Owens, and Kennady Bowers

The ruby-throated hummingbirds played basketball using grapes.

There was Lily Julylah, Jayce, Sprinkle, Baby Selyah, and Elijah. 

The flowers were singing. The daisies were dancing. The sun was bright and the moon was dark. And then the flowers danced again in the morning. 

Airplanes flew in the sky like paper airplanes. 

There was a house on a beach with a giant slide. But all over the house a big trumpet vine grew!

The ruby-throated hummingbird pollinated the trumpet vine by drinking nectar with its long beak. 

They smelled dogs and could hear big waves (whoosh!). There was a pink octopus with pink tentacles in the water and rainbow sprinkles in the sand. 

The ruby-throated hummingbirds played grape basketball on the trumpet vine. It was so much fun, but it got really hot! So Lily Julylah said, “Let’s go eat some delicious frozen blueberry lemonade.”

At the lemonade stand their friends, Baby Selyah and Elijah, sold blueberry, strawberry, and grape lemonade and trained to be Spiderman. They also baked the best trumpet vine muffins and, that day, they headed to the beach. 

This beach was special. It had rainbow sand and the water was bright red and cherry-flavored. The hummingbirds were having the best day but then suddenly . . . dun dun dun . . . a group of sharks started swimming super fast toward them.

Jayce screamed, “What do we do?”

Selyah grabbed the last trumpet vine muffin and threw it at the sharks. The sharks started fighting over the muffin. After the fight over the muffin, they vanished into another dimension and never came back.

Lily shouted, “Let’s make a break for it!”

And all three hummingbirds flew away, going their separate ways. Lily Julylah went to Canada. Jayce flew to Florida. Baby Selyah went to get a dog. 

Then, Lily Julylah, Sprinkle, and Selyah flew to Florida and met up with Jayce to celebrate their birthday. Before meeting up, Lily Julylah bought cake, ice cream, and decorations. Sprinkle went to Domino’s for pizza. Everyone celebrated and their moms came to celebrate with them.

Then, everyone flew to Lily Julylah’s house and Baby Selyah took everyone to the water park. Everyone celebrated and drank nectar. Sprinkle bought cupcakes and they lived happily ever after!
