A Little Person

by Sarah

I woke up one morning on a leaf in my garden. I found out that I was no taller than twelve inches. I found a little girl who was nine years old like me We wore a piece of grass for a shirt and a little leaf for pants. We were walking and a saw a river. There was a leaf boat waiting for us. There was a little boy on the leaf. He said, "Hey! Come on the boat." We got off the boat and there was a big person. She was nice. When she saw us, she got us food and water. Then we heard a great yell. It was her mother calling her home. I think she was just a little girl too, but not our size. It was getting dark out and we were very scared and cold. The three of us saw a dark shadow over what little bit of sun was left. We were really scared now! What was coming towards us? We ran as fast as we could to try to escape this giant shadow. We found a big rock to hide under. There was enough room for all of us. As we huddled together, we could see what was coming towards us. It was a big, black spider! Ahh! Ahh! The spider must have heard our tiny screams. It turned and ran from us. Boy, were we scared! By now, night had come and it was really cold. We had to find something to keep us warm. There were some giant leaves near our rock. We gathered some for our bed and a couple more for our blankets. During the night it started to rain. I was sound asleep until my head got wet. Rain was running under our rock making a giant stream. Our bed got washed away. Down the roaring stream we went. The sun was starting to come out and the rain had slowed down, but we kept sailing down the stream in our bed. My friends and I were getting hungry. Boy, I wished I had a bowl of Peanut Butter Crunch or maybe one of my dad's dippy eggs and toast. Oh, we should just forget about food for now. We needed to think about how we were going to stop this floating bed and where we were going. Just then we hit something. I went flying through the air. I was floating high above a place that I knew well. It was my backyard. Suddenly I landed and I hit the floor of my bedroom. I had fallen out of bed. I looked around my room. Everything was the same. I was big again. It was all just a dream. I hope I dream it again sometime so I can see my two new friends again!
