The Dragonfly and the Magical Flower
Once upon a time, there was a dragonfly who could not fly. One evening, they were buzzing around the Anacostia River when he saw a frog who was sleeping.
The friendly, fabulous frog wanted to go frolicking with other friendly frogs. The dragonfly wanted the frog to help him find his wings because he had lost them.
They walked down the river to look for his wings and find a magical flower.
“Do you know the story of the magical flower’s power?” the frog croaked.
“The magical flower gives you the ability to recover things that you’ve once lost.” But the dragonfly wasn’t sure in his heart that the wings were what was truly lost.
So the frog hopped along as the dragonfly sat on the back of one. They were on the search for the magic flowers…
The frog and the dragonfly had been traveling for so long, losing hope. But then they ran into a mysterious bunny who had a limp foot but was very happy. And told them, or is he?
One Day…
One day… I decided to help my neighbor. Little did I know, I was going to end up in a strange forest with 3 strange monkeys.
They didn’t look any different than your basic, everyday monkey: fur, ears, long tail. Then they opened their mouths. Articulate, like Oxford/Cambridge/Harvard articulate.
One monkey says, “Help us! We’re trapped!”
I help them and next I realise I’m trapped in a net! I figure out somebody is spying on us!
And they were. But they were kind and helped us out.
A coalition of spider and capuchin monkeys came to untangle the web. “Leave monkeys in the forest, not in nets!” they said.
“o7,” I replied. “Monkeys do NOT belong in nets.”
The monkey cleared its throat and formed a classy monocle. “I believe this net is quite comfortable.”
“No it isn’t,” said the 2nd and 3rd monkeys.
“Well, I like it!” said the monkey with the monocle. “I do believe I shall settle in for a cup of tea and a nice, cozy nap.”
The monkey took a 24 HOUR nap.
The Curious Dog
First there was a curious dog who got on a trampoline and thought that he could jump to the moon. Overhead, the sun was bright. The bright sun made it hard to see. So they turned around and looked for a red squishy cube of Jell-O, which tasted like sunshine.
The dog knew then that the Jell-O tasted too good not to share it. So he looked around for a friendly face, one that was worthy of Jell-O. He saw a man who was 8 ft. tall, with wings on his arms and a super long beard.
“Happy Birthday!” he exclaimed. “How can we celebrate this glorious day?” “We can go to Shake Shack! It can’t be better than this, haha.” So the dog had ice cream.
But the dog wanted more Jell-O. His favorite Jell-O is cherry flavored. But then the Jell-O exploded and sucked into the future He turned old and saw his babies that were all ready grown up. Then he went to the grocery store to buy more Jell-O and ate it all up, so he bought even more.
He shared the Jell-O with his grown-up children. Then he hot really sick and a doctor appeared. “OH NO! The dog has diabetes (too much Jell-O). HE NEEDS A DIET CLEANSE!”
