Up...up...up they rose
gazing down at the vast
Christmas panorama below.
The girls gasped with
excitement
as they saw a group of little elves
dancing
in a circle
around a jolly, fat white-bearded man,
all
dressed in red,
who was waving his arms over his head...
as if to be waving at them!

Finally, they heard a bell jingle
and they came
to a stop.
The doors opened and they walked
into the
tower room.
SPARKLING celestial bodies
filled the night
sky
shining through the crystal clear pyramid walls
and
exotic jungle flowers
rested in each corner of the room.
The smooth crystal floor
glowed a loving pink light
that welcomed and warmed their feet.
In the center of the room
was a large circular
fountain bath
made of the whitest stone
Mariah
walked over
and stepped in, clothes and all,
into
the steamy water.
She promptly peeled off her clothes
and threw them over the edge.
Then she said,
"Come
on in you three ducklings,
it feels great!"
Amanda and Samantha daintily stepped in
and
immediately felt the magical,
soothing warmth
of the water.
The warmth melted away their shyness
and they threw off their clothes
as they sank to
their chins.
Pooh crinkled a smile and said
"Wait
for me!"
He put a paw up to his nose,
closed his
eyes
and jumped feet first into the pool.
"KASPLASH!"
"Good jump, Pooh!" the girls chanted.
