A Strange Dream

It was getting late, and the kids had to get ready for bed. They were already done with their dinner and had brushed their teeth. They kissed their parents goodnight and curled in their beds under the covers.

It was a bit chilly but not too much, but Molly kept herself bundled up so that her little feet wouldn't get cold. After a while, her and her little brother steve were sound asleep.

Molly started dreaming of a beautiful green park with lots of big trees and berry bushes. She saw herself walking around with her little brother when she saw a pair of red shiny boots in the bushes. They looked sparkly new and she thought they were just the size of her cold little feet. "These boots will keep my feet warm" she thought, and when she didn't find anyone in the park she figured that they don't belong to anyone.

Molly tried the boots on and they fit perfectly! Her brother thought they looked beautiful on her. Molly stood up and started walking, but all of a sudden...

The shoe laces came undone and throught the holes, they stripped themselves off the boots and started slithering away form Molly as if they were alive.

"Wait! Stop!"

Molly shouted, but they kept on going. Molly and her brother started running after them. It was difficult for Molly to run without the shoe laces. Her brother urged her to run faster but she began to fall behind and finally stopped. They lost the shoe laces.

"Oh no, what do you do now? I even find it difficult to walk in these boots without the shoe laces."

Molly said. Then they suddenly realised that as they were running, they have entered a deep dark forest. They didn't know where it was. They were completely lost. Molly felt like crying but she didn't want her little brother to worry. She tightened her face tring not to cry and took a deep breath.

"Let's keep walking. I'm sure we will find someone who can help us."

They walked through the dark forest, then gradually they could see rays of light springing through the leaves.

"We are out of the forest! Now Let's go find those shoe laces. I wonder where they are."

Molly said. But her brother was tired and he said

"No, let's just go buy some new ones. I don't really care about them"

Molly stood in silence. She thought, 'but if we buy them, it would be too realistic! It wouldn't be a fantasy and John will be angry with me. I need to play my role in this story!' But she didn't say anything.
