Brent :
You are just waking up when your strange day begins. You yawn sleepily, and slowly stand up. Strange thing is,
nobody's home. You look at the clock. That's funny, it stopped. This is an electric clock. You turn on the lights. They
work, so the electricity isn't out. Weird. Suddenly you realize the mirror has become a door, you walk over
and open it and.......
Me :
a funny thing happened . Suddenly
I was in a strange looking garden . It's not my own garden , and not my neighbour's or anybody's that I know of . There were many big vases scathered all over the garden ;big vases;
the type that even an grown adult could hide inside
.I had no time to think of the significance of it ; I just crossed ..

over the small wooden walkway, to the left I noticed a brightness
shining through the lower part of a large odd shaped oak tree, I slowly walked towards it.I knelt down,to look
into the opening and found myself crawling through the small circle in trunk and .....
| |
found myself spinning round and round without stopping .
When all the spinning stopped , I stood face to face with a
strange looking creature , half man and half, well , fish.
For sure , it was a fish .I could see its scally tail
where there should be legs.
" Ha ! ha! ha ! first human in this den .." |
" Won't you join me for a cup of wilderberry tea and honeywheat muffins?" he asked. I
have no family of my own and they taste so much better when shared" |

Yes, i will be glad to join you. The honeywheat muffins and the wildberry tea tasted
so good, It was unlike anything i have ever tried before.As i sat with the fish, I was very amazed at the wonderous place
i was at. It was sorta like a dream, that only a place where dreams are. As i finished up my lunch with the fish.... |

a wilderness ; a delightful one . There were strawberries
growing on on the bushes ; colourful flowers adorned every tree
.There were so many fire-flies . Yes , countless numbers of them , all
darting merrily around , changing the wilderness into a paradise . I
stood perplexed.....
As Iwatched a pair of magnificent Unicorns, with rainbows for their manes, and blue eyes, playing
in the sunlight! They... | |

made their way towards me, eyes flashing and manes flying ,
grinning from ears to ears .
I didn't know whether to smile or merely say hello to
them so |
reached
out my hand to the unicorn. As I did this, the unicorn slowed his pace and gently came up to me. He placed his
head in my oustretched hand and lifted his eyes to me. I could see.... |

that the unicorn was very gentle, and that i have never in my wildest dreams,
imagined ever being able to come this close to one. As i stared into the unicorns eyes, i could see bright colors starting
to form all around me. I was startled for a second, but then a feeling of joy came through me. "Oh my goodness", I said to
myself. It was a sight that i couldn't believe..... | |

So I bowed low and said to the unicorn
, " May I have the
pleasure of this dance . " Actually I didn't know why
I did that,
dancing with a unicorn ! How queer
! To my surprise , the
unicorn bowed low and put its claws on
my arm and
we started dancing .
All around us the birds started singing.
The insects provided us with the back ground music .Bees hummed;
Crickets sang ; fire-flies darted
all around. It was a sight no one
could afford to miss .And it wasn't
even a fairy tale .
It was as real as you and me talking
to each other.
Like the howl of the wind
and the splash of the waves
to the sea shore.
Yes. I was entranced .The unicorn
even
looked human to me ; It's because
I like him/her .( Never
occur to me to think of his/her gender )
All of a sudden .... |
I could feel myself falling. As I opened my
eyes I was lying in a beautiful meadow, the sunny was shining so very brightly, I felt such peace as I layed there. I could
hear a stream in the background so I decided.... |

When I awoke the sun was just setting, painting the sky with the most beautiful vibrant colors I'd ever seen...

I watched the glorious sunset til the colors started to fade, then,hearing my tummy growl, I set
off across the meadow to see if I could forage something to eat. I came upon a huge tree with purple and silver leaves! I

I was good at climbing trees . As a child , I loved
to climb trees , to pluck those ripe fruits or look for a bird's nest.
I remember on one occasion when
I was up on the tree ;pretending to be a wild girl from
the jungle ;
I started shaking the branches . To my surprise , something
from the top of the tree dropped on my body . It was
slppery to the touch .
Looking at it carefully , I saw to my horror
, a snake ; a sleepy one .; luckily for me !
I flung it away screaming and at the same time ,lost balance
and fell to the ground below . As I lay there....

a feeling of peace fell over me. I watched as the clouds
took beautiful forms in the big blue sky. A rainbow appeared, with rich, vibrant colors. I decided that i wanted to rest here
for a little while."Amazing", i uttered to myself. All memories of the scare i had previously experienced was all now just
a faint memory. "Where am I was now the big mystery. As i lay on the warm, green grass, I felt a warm breeze flowing, with
a sweet scent of roses....

Then I woke with a jerk from my childhood memories
,as my stomach groaned for food ;Yes, I was still outside not at home . What do I do for food ?
I looked up to peer
through the purple and silver leaves then I saw a few large
fruits or at least they looked like fruits to
me . Without hesitation I took one and bit through it . It was delicious .Very soon I finished all the
three fruits and sighed with contentment . The I felt drowsy

brook. I was walking downstream, lost in daydreams, when I thought I felt the ground shake! sure enough, the ground was shaking,
and I could hear a rumbling, coming ever-closer! I looked up and saw... |

a giant , as tall as a mountain and as
large as a whale .
I just stood there shaking like a leaf in the wind .
My legs refused to move an inch . It
must have been for a
century long when I stood thus motionless
.
Then somehow I gathered my wits
about me and ran as fast as my legs
could carry me . Not soon enough !
The giant was upon me for I felt a strong
gust
of wind blowing as his huge hand
tried to grip me . Panic- striken
, I ran in
all directions and suddenly I saw a
huge hole ..
I ran as fast as I could and jumped into the hole
just before the giants hand could grab me. I landed on something very cold and hard. I could feel myself moving and the wind
blowing very fast around me. I opened my eyes and saw the world spinning around me. I could hear people yelling and screaming.
I opened my eyes and realized I was on a roller coaster about to go into the loop...... | |

well, at that second, all desires for food had come to an abrupt end....the
rollercoaster was unlike any i have ever seen before. This particular one was not made out of metal, it was a big, giant caterpiller.
"Oh my goodness", i said to myself. "This must be wonderland or something".All around me were these little animals riding
in each seat. Animals that looked like teddybears, but were half human. As i was coming around the big loop.......

I braved myself
for a big spin . Sure enough , it came ! I felt the whole world
turn round and round so fast ; every body went crazy and screamed
and screamed and
screamed at the excitement and fun of it all !
I didn't realise I was screaming like the rest of them teddybears.
Funny ! teddybears screamed too. So I turned side way
and noticed them for the first time ! One of the cutest one
smiled at me in such an endearing way . He ..no.no it..
looked just like the teddy bear I had at home ;
so woolly and good to cuddle . So I...
I gave it a great big hug and put him back down in his seat and then ALL OF A SUDDEN SOMETHING HAPPEN |

to the ground.
Then the teddy bear grew and grew and grew
smaller .
It was a bit taller than me now to my relief
.
It was
amazing because he could talk as well.
" Hello ! who are you ? " the teddy bear smiled
at me and said.
" I am Alice . I come from the mirror !" I said .
" The mirror ? Then how are you going back
?
" I don't know . May be through the mirror as well
! "
" But mirror was broken by the elephant who
want to go inside to see the outside ."
I stopped speechless...
|
I wasn't sure if I wanted to laugh or cry. How was
I going to get back? I was getting dark and I didn't know where I was going to go and spend the night. I looked around
me.... |

trying to figure it out what to
do , where to go and where to stay for the night.
It wasn't exactly a place I liked
to spend the night in. This place was just too big , too crowded with animals , people ,
bears and all sorts of play things.
Perhaps I could crawl into one of the tunnels
to sleep there for the night.
Seeing my agitation , the teddy
bear looked kindly on me and said , "
Well , if you have no where to stay for
the night , you can come to my place.My mother loves to have guests.."
I had no choice but to thank him kindly for his offer . So I ... |
agreed to go stay with the Teddybear family, uncertain of what the night held in store
As we started up the stone walkway, I could hear music! "What's this? " I asked myself.
"That tune sounds so familiar" Just then, the door opened and more Teddy bears invited me in. They were having some
sort of celebration, with music and lots of dancing ! Suddenly I felt happy that I had agreed to stay
Later, in my room, I saw a lovely silver box sitting on the fireplace mantel.My curiosity
getting the better of me, I slowly lifted the lid and peeked inside... |

It was a musical box , which had tiny butterflies with wings fluttering
all round it . Accidentally It opened and out popped a dancing angel
singing a familiar song ;
Sing me the song that to me was so dear ,
long ,long ago
long ,long ago
Tell me the tales I delighted to hear ;
long ,long ago
long long ago.
Now you are come all my grief is removed
Let me believe that so long you have roved .
Let me believe that you love as you loved ;
long,long ago
I stood smiling , glancing at it and listening to it play over and over again
.

SUCH WONDERFUL MUSIC AND DANCING! OH, THE TIME WE HAD, LAUGHING AND SINGING, AND
ENJOYING THE FINEST QUISINE~
BUT THE NIGHT WAS STILL YOUNG, AND THE AIR VIBRANT AND WARM, AND STILL MORE WONDERS
TO BEHOLD!
WHEN UP IN THE SKY, WE SAW TO OUR AMAZEMENT, A FLOCK OF BIRDS, EVERY COLOR IMAGINABLE,
FLYING HERE AND THERE AND SWOOPING DOWN AS IF THEY WERE RIDING THE MOONBEAMS! AS THEY DREW CLOSER, I COULD SEE EACH BIRD CARRYING

Tiny new star! All of a sudden, the air became still, but buzzing with anticipation~
Movement all but ceased as every creature bowed their heads and hummed a tune in unison~ I realized then that they must
be singing to the stars, for they suddenly got brighter! Then.... |
the birds changed their forms and slowly their wings became hands
and their birdie
legs became human legs . To our surprise and delight they were
boy fairies !

So each boy fairy held the hand of the pixie and started dancing .
Somehow
the music seemed to float from the twinkling stars above them .
From afar a voice satarted singing a haunting tune :
" Shades of nights are creeping ; willows trees are weeping .
Old folks and babies are sleeping .***
......all alone I'm scheming .... scheming to get you out here
,
my dear , come. Tip toes
to the moonlight ...to the flowers..
.that is where I'll be , come tip- toes to the tulips with me .." *
It was ....
Ostrich, and I giggled in spite of myself! "This is just getting stranger and stranger I
thought"
The ostrich continued with her haunting melody. As she got closer tho, I realized she had
stopped singing and was looking at me rather strangely! So I | | |
