Story Details

Hush, hush! Hear the breeze, Pine scent fills the tall green trees.

Maya sniffs, a sweet new smell, Caramel, then trees all fell.

Run, run, run, go fast, go now! She did save a brown milk cow.

Sweet smell came, a flash, a fright, She did save a fire bright.

Skip, skip, skip, the air did shift, She did save a raft, no drift.

Town folks knew, her nose was keen, What a girl, what a scene!

Sweet new smell, wind did blow, Now they all did seem to know.

A warm sweet hug, a good, good sign, Wet, wet air, all felt fine.
