A Bedtime Story

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oriana and Corwin laid down in their beds.

"Read us a story." To mommy they said.

Mommy looked up with a glow in her eyes and told the two children she had a surprise.

She went to the books then from the top shelf she pulled down a book with a glow in itself.

She turned the first page then started to read. An adventure grew forth from that glowing seed.

They soared through the sky on a giant blue bird to a land full of silence where nothing was heard.

Then rode on a centaur through a forest of oak where trees walked and talked like regular folk.

They saved a young Pegasus, just learning to fly, from a fifty-foot snake with red beady eyes.

Then ate lunch with some giants and danced with the elves

Had a run in with toads and got warts on themselves.

A witch tried to cook them. An evil prince hang them. They were sucked in a whirlpool where the mermaids entranced them.

The grandest adventure they went on that night.

When the last page was read mom turned out the light.

The adventure was over or so it would seem.

"Goodnight," whispered Mommy, "sleep tight and sweet dreams!"
