Once upon a time in a desert, there lived a cactus named Spike. Spike loved to watch the canyon's beautiful firework displays every summer. One day, Spike had an idea for a parade. He invited all his desert friends, including the chile pepper, to join in the parade. They decorated their floats with colorful firework lights and danced through the canyon. People came from near and far to join in the fun and watch the cactus and chile pepper parade. Spike and his friends were so happy they knew they would have to do it again next year! The end 🌵🎆🌶️😊
