Once upon a time, there was a little bud named Buddy. Buddy lived on a bush with his friends the bulbs. They were all happy and content. One day, Buddy saw a cactus and decided to go for a walk. He had never seen a cactus before and was fascinated by its spiky appearance.

Buddy approached the cactus and said hello. The cactus didn't respond, so Buddy decided to touch it. The cactus suddenly woke up and started to talk! He explained that he was a magical cactus and could grant wishes.

Buddy wished to be bigger so that he could see more of the world. The cactus granted his wish and Buddy grew into a beautiful flower. He thanked the cactus and went back to his bush to show his friends what had happened.

The bulbs were amazed and asked Buddy how he had become so big. Buddy told them about the magical cactus and they all decided to go and see him. They wished to be different colors and the cactus granted their wishes.

Together, Buddy and his friends the bulbs explored the world, spreading color and joy wherever they went. And they all lived happily ever after.
