Coco wanted a closer look. She rushed forward, but the moth flew high and hid behind a tall leaf.
Page 3
Coco sat down and made her paws still. ‘I can wait,’ she whispered, keeping her tail quiet on the grass.
Page 4
The moth peeked over the leaf and opened its soft white wings. Coco blinked slowly and did not reach, chase, or jump.
Page 5
Soon the moth floated down and danced around Coco. It made one loop, two loops, and a soft twist in the air.
Page 6
Coco copied the dance from the ground. She turned once, stepped twice, and swished her tail without touching the moth.
Page 7
The moth rested for one moment on Coco’s purple bow. Coco stayed very still until it lifted away.

Coco watched the moth finish its night dance. She learned that patience lets a shy new friend choose when to come close.
