Sofia the First: The Grass Is Always Greener

Tall Grass

The Enchancian flying coach landed in front of Albuquerque Palace.

"Okay, let's get this out into the garden," Amber instructed.

Amber and Hildegard carefully got the big bag of manure into the garden. But then the bag tipped over and ripped, and some of the manure oozed out.

"Gross," Hildegard whined.

"Well, at least we got off to a good start," Amber smiled.

Amber and Hildegard squeezed more manure out, and they smoothed the goop all over the garden. There was more than enough to cover up the yard.

"Glad that's over," Amber sighed.

Suddenly, the grass started to grow—and it was really tall. Axel and his friends were playing basketball when they noticed that the grass has grown really high. The grass was so high that it was almost as tall as the palace.

"Whoa, what happened?" Prince Miles asked.

"I don't know," Axel replied.

Inside, Sofia and Hugo could tell that the grass looked taller.

"Does the grass look taller from in here?" Sofia asked.

"We'd better go and see what's going on," Hugo told her.

Hugo and Sofia jumped out of the rink, put on their boots, and ran outside. They were very surprised to see that the grass was really tall.

"Whoa, what happened to the grass?" Sofia gasped.

"The royal gardener must've used something to get the grass to grow back—and it looks like he overdid it," Hugo remarked.

Suddenly, the duo heard Axel call out, "Goodness—the garden has turned into a jungle!"

"Axel is lost in the tall grass!" Hugo realized.

"Maybe we should look for him," Sofia suggested.

"Okay, Sofia, let's start looking," Hugo said hastily. "I'm coming, Big Bro!"

Hugo started running through the tall grass. Sofia hoped Hugo would be okay since it may not be easy looking for his brother in all this grass.

"Here I come, Ax!" Hugo called. "I see you now!"

But the grass was so tall that Hugo couldn't see what was in front of him—and he bumped into a tree.

"Oh, it won't be easy to find him in this grass," Hugo groaned.

Hugo kept running through the grass to find his big brother. "Axel!" he called. But then he hit another tree. Suddenly, Axel appeared.

"Oh, there you are," Hugo sighed. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Axel declared. "Are you?"

"I'm okay, too, but it's not easy trying to get through this grass," Hugo declared.

"No, it's not," Axel agreed.

"What happened?" Sofia asked. "Why is the grass so tall?"

"We don't know," Axel declared.

"The royal gardener probably used something to make the grass grow back—and it looks like he went overboard," Hugo surmised.
