A bright, sunny establishing shot of the Buttercup County Fair with striped red-and-white tents, a spinning Ferris wheel, and festive pennants fluttering overhead. In the foreground, Tandy stands cheerfully behind an open wooden shoe cart filled with miniature colorful boots, adjusting a bright turquoise hearing aid behind a shiny metal dome bolt. Tandy's yellow LED eyes are looking up and past the merry fair crowd toward the far horizon, where ominous dark plum-purple thunderclouds begin to roll over distant green hills. Fairgoers in summer clothes are eating cotton candy and admiring prize pumpkins, oblivious to the approaching weather. Warm golden carnival light contrasts with the gathering storm clouds in the distance.

Tandy Spots the Storm

The Buttercup County Fair is bright. Cotton candy spins pink. Ferris wheel carts rock in the sun. Tandy adjusts two turquoise hearing aids and grins. Tandy loves shoes! The chest carousel spins with tiny glittery boots. Everyone else watches the giant rooster. But Tandy's sharp eyes look higher. Beyond the tents, the western sky turns dark. It looks like bruised plums. Yellow banners snap stiffly backward. In the green meadow nearby, six fluffy prize sheep all sit down together. A dust swirl spins popcorn across the grass. A storm is coming. Nobody else sees it!
