The Ray of Sunshine

Drawn by the levels of sweet floral fragrance in the garden, people point their noses upward to detect their likable scent. Refreshing gentle breezes run through the garden, making the place more enjoyable — Joy wonders if some of the small winds are the secret probable proof of the invisible fairy running through the spots. Seeing Joy smile, being in that place, Joe is content with the idea of bringing her to the garden, and he decides to make a joke about it, “Is that why people look at where the wind comes from and where it blows to? Like trying to capture those racing cars when they are at their fastest speed.” While the old couple are somewhat impressed by Joe’s fascinating way of making the undetectable world imaginable, Joy’s eyes behind the sunglasses are fully smiling. “Right, instead they’re tiny and invisible. I wonder why they have to run through us, and why they keep themselves invisible. I don’t mind getting tickled in this garden.”
