THE ELEPHANT

	I once had a friend named Megan. She could fly. We would sometimes 
go flying at night. We  would fly high and we would fly low. We would fly
east and we would fly west. We never got caught, we were always back by 
morning. 

	One night she came to my window and asked me to fly with her, so 
I did. We went to a land I had never seen before. It had a green sky with
purple fluffy clouds floating by. The  moon shown bright fusia and gave a
rosie tint to the whole place. The blue grass felt funny between my toes 
as we landed.

	"Where are we?" I asked Megan.

	"We are in the land of the neon orange elephant! It only comes 
out at night. Come on follow me!"
	
	We ran through the field. Faster and faster we went.
	
	"Stop, Stop!" I yelled, "Why do we have to run? Why can't we fly?"
	
	"Oh....yes. That would be easier now wouldn't it. Okay lets go!"

	We rose and flew over the field. After the sea of blue grass 
vanished all I could see was black with a dim light of red showing 
in the distance. The red light came closer and closer until it was 
all you could see. Finally we landed.

	"Are we close to the elephant?" I asked

	"Sssshhh!! They will come"

	We waited in silence for what seemed like an hour. Finally
an elephant appeared out of no where!

	"I am the neon orange elephant. I will give you 3 wishes. 
What do you wish for?" To me this was easy, I knew exactly what 
I wanted. 

	"I want to be able to fly just like Megan!"

	"What else?" Asked the elephant.

	"I want Megan and I to live forever."

	"Yeah!" Megan shouted, "Cool!"

	"And what is your final wish?" The elephant asked.


	"I want...I want to never run out of money!"

	"These wishes shall be granted. Are you ready?"
	
	"We're ready!" I shouted.

	"Okay, here we go!'

	The the elephant started doing a dance while saying, "
By the power of the neon orange elephant I grant you these wishes!"				

	~*POOF*~

	"Yippy! I can fly!" I exclaimed.

	"Come on! Let's fly home together." Megan said. So we did.

	Now we go flying all the time. Everywhere we go we fly. We 
often go back to the land of the neon orange elephant, but we have
never again seen a neon orange elephant (They became extinct 100 
years ago). Megan and I travel the world and wherever  we go
we can hear people say....

	"Look it's a bird!"

	"No, it's a plane!"

	"Oh, darn! It's only Laura and Megan."
