Amara loved to ask big questions. "What is over that hill?" she asked one sunny day. She walked and walked. Then she saw it — a bright, buzzy village full of color!
Amara stepped into the village. Purple flowers swayed in every garden. They hummed a funny sound. "V-v-v! V-v-v!" hummed the violets. Amara giggled. "V is for violet!" she said.
A friendly van came down the curvy road. It was round and red with violet stripes. VROOM! VROOM! "V-v-v!" said the van. Amara clapped her hands. "V is for van! V-v-v!"
Amara saw soft, pretty butterflies. They had velvet wings! The butterflies fluttered close. Their wings went v-v-v as they flapped. "V is for velvet!" said Amara. "V-v-v!"
Green vines curled along every fence. They twisted and looped in silly shapes. "V-v-v!" whispered the vines. Amara traced them with her finger. "V is for vine! V-v-v!"
Then Amara heard a little sound. At the edge of the village sat a small, bubbly volcano. It puffed soft clouds into the sky. "V-v-v!" giggled the volcano. Its puffy top wiggled. Amara laughed. "V is for volcano! V-v-v!"
Can you say it too? V-v-v! Violet! Van! Velvet! Vine! Volcano! Everything in this village buzzes with V. "I love this village!" said Amara. "V-v-v!"
But then — something happened. The village got very quiet. The violets stopped humming. The vines stopped whispering. The van stopped vrooming. Amara looked around. "Where did all the sounds go?" she asked.
Amara ran to the volcano. Its little face looked sad. It opened its mouth, but no sound came out. Not even a tiny v-v-v. "Oh no!" said Amara. "The volcano lost its voice!"
Amara had a big idea. She called to all her new friends. "Violets! Vines! Van! Butterflies! Come help!" They all gathered close. "Let's say it together," said Amara. "Ready?"
"V-V-V!" they all cheered together. The violets hummed. The vines buzzed. The van went VROOM! "V-V-V!" Louder and louder! The ground wiggled. The volcano's face lit up. And then — POP!
The volcano erupted with a tiny, ticklish PUFF! Out came soft velvet confetti! Violet sparkles filled the sky. "V-V-V!" giggled the volcano. Its happy voice was back! Amara hugged her friends. "V is for village," she whispered. "And V is for very, very loved."
