" FOREST OF DREAMS"
A Bedtime Fable
Allow me to introduce myself, the storyteller I am called.
Deep inside your head, is where I'm going to be.
So I'll take you away from your present thoughts. I will emerge you in enchantment, of stories once told.
So let us begin. Like all good stories do.
Once upon a Time,
Only this time it's you.
Once upon a Time! We all know so well. On a bright sunny morning, in the town of Little Tampa. Lived our fabled character of this story.
Her name is little Cole. And she's just so adorable. Always smiling, shimmer from her eyes. She lights up every room she enters. She likes to run and play on warm summer days. The wind blowing through her hair , with cute little pink shoes she runs through the field spreading her news. The news of happiness, cuz our little Cole is a star , shining so brightly always near never far.
In the town of little Tampa small American pride. The ice cream shops, the drugstore and mom's apple pie. American flag waving from everyone's porch. It's a town of fables, but you know this of course.
Little Cole runs alone most of the time. She has many friends and most of them kind. But she likes to run free and wander the the field. She likes walking through the woods, where she has many friends. Most of them animals and some plants who contend.
She's never afraid in the forest alone. She's really never afraid of anything at all. So as all days begin , Little Cole wakes with a smile. Knowing her day will be filled with fun all the while. She never gets bored, she's always well dressed. But today is an adventure she won't soon forget.
Little Cole eats her breakfast kisses her mommy goodbye, tells her Daddy she loves him with that sparkle in her eye. She kisses his cheek and a smile will ensue cuz Daddy loves little Cole but don't all of you?. Off to go play outside in the sun, there goes little Cole off to have fun.
She's quite the creature of habit. Traveling her route. She stops at the drugstore, and says hello to Mr Ruth. And off to the hardware store she goes, smiling all the while. They eagerly wait for her ,with that sparkling smile Little Cole travels to town says hello to everyone she meets. With her smile so bright and such pep in her feet. Today Cole has a plan. Off to the deep part of the woods. That's why she stopped at the hardware store for a flashlight and goods. She brought a little bag and filled it with snacks. With her flashlight in hand, it's off to the woods.
Now deep in the forest of little Tampa. Is a part of the woods. it's called the Forest of Dreams. People don't go there cuz at night they hear screams. Our little Coel is never afraid. She's always so Happy and always so brave.
Little cole makes her way to the edge of the town. At the entrance of the forest where a sign has fallen down. She skips right past the sign thick in the weeds. If she had only seen the sign and the warning it heeds.
Let's turn over that sign as she enters the woods. Cole should have read the sign, because it's message is not good.
We look at the sign, and this is what it said.
Warning!
Entering the Forest of Dreams.
Enter at your own risk!!
Please leave before nightfall.
When the monsters come out.
No one will hear you scream.
No one can hear you shout.
You can't outrun them,
Because monsters are fast
This may be your first trip,
But it will probably be your last!!
