"Rise and shine!" Sunspot called to the sleeping ponies, but they only yawned and snuggled deeper into their beds. "I know how to wake them!" she thought, flying into the air. She flew up to her friend, Mr. Sun, and whispered in his ear. Smiling happily, he sent sunbeams into the ponies' bedroom windows. The sunbeams filled each room and sprinkled glittering flecks of sunshine on the ponies! They awoke with smiling faces, and cheerfully tossed some of the bright flecks on Sunspot as she skipped into their bedrooms.
Snow was falling, and Frilly Flower sighed because all her favorite flowers were asleep until spring. "Go to the garden," Mr. Sun giggled through the frosty windowpane, seeing how unhappy she was. Like magic, the snowflakes changed into golden rays of sunshine that woke the sleeping flowers into full bloom. Frilly Flower picked a big, beautiful bouquet then raced into the sky and tucked a pretty red rose behind Mr. Sun's ear to thank him for bringing a touch of spring to such a wintery day.
