"No, thank you." Flora had finally decided. "I should take him home. My mother wouldn't like it if I lost him."

"If that's what you really want," said the wind.

"Yes, please," said Flora.

So the wind turned Flora and Crispin around and blew them home.

Flora put her super-special heavy-duty red boots back on, then straightened Crispin's hat and brushed a shred of rainbow from his coat.

She rang the doorbell and her mother opened the door.

"I decided to bring Crispin back," Flora told her.

"From where?" asked her mother.

"From the moon," said Flora.

"Nonsense," said her mother. "Now come inside. I've made chocolate chip cookies."
