“Ooh,” Sirocco said with a shudder. “I could never stay in one place my whole life. I was born to fly!”

“Oh, really,” the frog said teasingly. “Seems to me you’re a stick-in-the-mud like me. That’s not exactly flying, is it?”

Sirocco stared at the frog. He felt his clenched mouth slowly widen into a grin.

“You know what?” Sirocco said. He stood up in the puddle and shook the mud off his wings. “You’re right! It’s time to stop moping and start adventuring!”

“Well, fly away, then,” the peeper said. “Have fun, peep, peep.”

“Thanks, Mr. Peeper,” Sirocco said. He puffed out his chest. Even if he didn’t have the real Jeepers with him, the peeper had given him a burst of bravery!

Sirocco flew up to rejoin his friends. As he arrived back at the cricket tree, Brisa joyfully turned to the toy horse dangling from one of her magic jewels.

“See, Brisina,” she said to the doll, “Sirocco’s just fine.”

Brisa looked at Sirocco with her beautiful big eyes.

“You had Brisina scared to death!” she said to the colt.

“Scared!” Sirocco scoffed. “That’s silly!”

“I know, that’s what I told her,” Brisa said. “First, being scared gives you scrunched-up lines around the eyes, which are not pretty. Second, why should you be scared just because everything’s so different at night?”

“Right!” Sirocco declared. “Anyway, I’m not scared.” He tried to ignore the fact that his shivers had suddenly returned.

He was so shivery that he didn’t see the fillies glance at each other.

“Well,” Sumatra said carefully, “I’m glad you’re not scared, Sirocco. After all, there’s nothing scary about cool, damp night air.”

“Right,” Sirocco repeated. But now, his voice sounded weak again.

“And I like the strange shapes you see in the tree branches,” Kona said happily.

“And don’t forget the night music,” Brisa added. “It’s so tuneful.”
