Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She was sweet and kind, thoughtful and considerate and most certainly beautiful of mind and spirit. She noticed that all the trees in her kingdom stood tall and strong each day. They shielded her from the bright, bold sunshine so she wouldn't turn red and feel hot and sticky on her walks in her carriage. She thought it sad that the trees worked so hard and never rested. She worried that they needed a nap like she often did. Then one night she learned why trees don't "lay me down to sleep"...
The trees finally felt sleepy- so they called upon Mr. Wind to help them lie down to rest. You see they were too tall and strong to lie down on their own. That night Mr. Wind, who is most cranky when he has to work when it is dark and all in the kingdom are sleeping, was very angry at his disruption. He was not a gentle Mr. Wind. He came through and selectively put some trees on their sides, but the trees were pushed too hard.
The next morning as the little girl strolled through her kingdom... she saw with wonderment what great strenth Mr. Wind has. She noticed that manyof the tall, tall trees were napping. As she listened to the working trees who still stood tall- creating her shady path- she realized the fate of the lazy sleeping trees..... FIREWOOD and she vowed then and there to never be too lazy & always turn her homework in on time!!
My first story- hope you liked it. The names were changed for safe keeping!! ;)
Love you, Baby Addyson
P.S. The first picture is of a chimney that fell off the roof. Our house is fine. Dada and I slept right through it. Mama says we were without power for 4 and 1/2 hours so she couldn't watch me sleep on Addyson tv!
