The very next afternoon, after helping Mother fold the clean laundry (a little secret help of her own!), Lucy checked her magical map once more. This time, a friendly Glow-Dot appeared near Mrs. Gable’s flower shop. Mrs. Gable was the kindest lady in the village, always humming sweet tunes as she arranged her colourful bouquets.
Lucy knew Mrs. Gable had a lovely set of silver wind chimes hanging outside her shop, and sometimes, on very windy days, they would get all tangled up. Perhaps that was it!
Off Lucy tiptoed, making sure to walk quietly so as not to disturb anyone. When she reached the flower shop, she saw Mrs. Gable inside, busily watering her beautiful petunias. And sure enough, the silver wind chimes were indeed a dreadful mess, their melodic tinkling silenced by a tangled knot.
The Glow-Dot on the map shone brightly, pointing straight at the wind chimes. Lucy waited for her moment. When Mrs. Gable bent down to pick up a fallen daisy, Lucy quickly, but carefully, reached up and began to untangle the delicate chimes. It took a few gentle pulls and twists, but soon, they were free!
