Day Dream

Little Annie was very bored one lazy afternoon. She had nothing to do! She had already
played with her brothers in the sandbox and had tea with them and her dollies, too. She
had baked chocolate chip cookies with her mom and even tasted one! They were very
good, she thought. Now Annie was trying to figure out what else she could do to pass the
day away. 
Little Annie decided that she would go to her favourite spot in the world...the green,
grassy field full of daisies, beneath the great oak tree. She took a red and white blanket
with her. She laid it down on the ground, and then she lay down on it. She lay there
looking at the clouds, fluffy and white. She saw bunnies, huge gray elephants and scary-
looking crocodiles. Soon, Little Annie was drifting in and out of clouds and reality. The
clouds started dancing with her, begging her to come and play. She got up from her
blanket and joined the clouds. They flew over roof tops of all of the village people, swam
with the fish in the lake and said hello to all of the birds that they passed by. Little Annie
was having so much fun! 
The clouds had formed into a chariot so Little Annie could drive if she wanted to. She
drove over a rainbow that was bright in the sky. Then, she shot through the branches of
her friend's spruce tree! 
Annie suddenly came to a STOP! Hearing someone call her name, Annie looked around.
She blinked; once, twice, and finally everything came into focus. Her brother was tugging
at her leg, wondering why she was staring into outer space with a big grin on her face! 
"Oh," Little Annie said, not really knowing that she had been sitting there all along.
