Zippy Zapata lived in a cozy wizard cottage. It had sparkling books and jiggly potion bottles. Squishy rugs covered the floor. A big window showed a garden full of dancing sunflowers. Zippy loved puzzles more than anything!
One sunny morning, Zippy felt something funny. His tummy did a little wiggle. "Ooh!" said Zippy. "What is THAT?" He wiggled. He jiggled. He did a little bouncy dance.
Then something began to glow! In the corner of the room sat a friendly toilet. It glowed a soft, warm blue. "Hello, Zippy!" said the toilet. "My name is Loo. I think your body is telling you something!"
"My body is talking?" asked Zippy. "Yes!" said Loo. "When your tummy wiggles, that is a clue! When you do a bouncy dance, that is a clue too! Your body is saying — it is time to go potty!"
"A new puzzle!" cheered Zippy. "I love puzzles!" Loo smiled. "Here is the first step. When you feel the wiggle, STOP what you are doing. Then walk to me. Can you try?"
Zippy ran over and sat right down on Loo. He waited. And waited. Nothing happened! "Hmm," said Zippy. "It did not work!" "That is okay!" said Loo. "Every try is a GOOD try. You sat down, and that is so brave!"
Zippy went back to play with his sparkling books. Then — wiggle, wiggle! His tummy talked again! He did a bouncy dance. "Wait!" said Zippy. "I know that clue! STOP. Walk to Loo!"
Zippy sat down on Loo again. He took a deep breath. He hummed a little song. He waited. But — nothing happened again! "Aw," said Zippy. Loo glowed a warm blue. "You are learning, Zippy! You stopped. You came to me. That is wonderful!"
Later, Zippy was looking out the big window. The sunflowers giggled and waved. Then — WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE! A big wiggle! "Oh!" said Zippy. "STOP! Walk to Loo! I know what to do!"
Zippy sat down. He took a deep breath. He waited. And then... TINKLE TINKLE! "I DID IT!" shouted Zippy. "I DID IT!" Loo glowed the brightest blue ever! "You did it, Zippy! You listened to your body! You solved the puzzle!"
Zippy washed his hands with warm, bubbly soap. It smelled like strawberries! "Loo," said Zippy, "what if it does not work next time?" "Then you try again!" said Loo. "Every great wizard has puzzles they are still figuring out."
That night, Zippy looked out the big window. The sunflowers swayed softly in the moonlight. Loo glowed a gentle blue in the corner. Tomorrow there would be more wiggles, more clues, and more chances to practice this new, exciting spell. And Zippy could not wait.
