One sunny day, a little girl found a magic camera.

“Hooray! I made a beautiful bouquet with this special camera,” she cheered. Her friend smiled and said, “Thank you! These flowers are lovely.”

Just then, a butterfly fluttered over. “A flower for me!” it sang. A honeybee buzzed closer and asked, “But… where’s the nectar?”

The little girl looked at her flowers. “Oh?” she wondered. “Maybe the nectar doesn’t show up in the photo. The camera can only see what’s on the outside.”

She sat down, thinking hard. Suddenly, she noticed an ant carrying a piece of candy. “I know!” she exclaimed. She hurried to the kitchen, mixed some sugar and water, and dripped the sweet syrup onto the flowers.

The butterfly tasted the syrup. “Delicious!” The honeybee danced with joy. “Yay! Now there’s nectar for everyone!”

Later that day, the girl used the magic camera to take a picture of a watermelon.

A big, green watermelon popped out—but when she cut it open, there was nothing inside! “Oh no!” she laughed. “The camera only makes what it can see.”

So she cut a real watermelon in half and took a photo of the inside.

Pop! A juicy, red watermelon appeared—this time, with lots of sweet fruit to eat.

Everyone enjoyed the treat together, and the garden was filled with happy friends, bright flowers, and magical surprises.
