One day, Sarah heard a strange echo from a nearby chute.

She hurried towards the sound, her heart full of wonder.

Peering into the chute, she saw a tiny gnome wrestling with a thistle.

"Can I help?" she asked, her voice making the gnome jump with a start.

The gnome, named Chic, was grateful for her offer and asked her to pull out the thistle.

Using her power, Sarah managed to wrestle the thistle out, making Chic beam with joy.

Thank you," said Chic, "You have a knack for helping!

In return, Chic showed Sarah his secret garden, filled with beautiful orchids.

Sarah was delighted and promised to visit Chic and his garden regularly.

From that day, Sarah would often visit Chic, bringing joy and bustle to his quiet life.

And so, the grasslands echoed with their laughter, making it a happier place.
