Rain plinked on the window. Lila sighed. Theo kicked a block tower.
“Boring, boring, boring,” Theo groaned. A knock came at the door.
Into the room stepped someone very tall— and on his head, a taller hat.
The hat had clouds drifting across it. The visitor bowed low. “Shall we play?”
Lila blinked. Theo squealed. The hat tipped, and paper airplanes fluttered out.
They flew circles around the sofa and landed neatly in rows. “Again!” cried Theo.
The hat stretched wider, and colored scarves spilled out. They turned into skipping ropes, twirling by themselves.
Lila laughed, but then—WHOOSH— one rope knocked over a stack of books.
Theo tried to juggle the scarves. Bump! Cushions toppled. Flop! A plant tipped sideways.
The living room became a tumble of books, cushions, and fluttering paper. The Tall Hat Visitor clapped, delighted.
“Wait!” Lila shouted. “This is TOO much mess.”
The visitor froze. Head tilted. Then the tall hat shrank… smaller… smaller.
The scarves folded into neat stacks. The airplanes lined up in a box.
The books flew back to their shelf. All tidy again, like a bow tied on a gift.
Rain slowed outside. The Tall Hat Visitor tapped the doorframe, ready to slip away.
“Thank you,” whispered Lila. Theo waved both hands.
A long striped scarf floated down into their hands. A goodbye gift.
The door clicked shut. The hat’s shadow melted into the rain.
Later, Parent set two mugs of cocoa on the table. “Looks cozy in here,” they said.
Lila and Theo grinned. On the chair back, the striped scarf gleamed.
