The Magic Dress

The Magic Dress

Magic Dress by Isabella
(art by Isabella, age 4)

Once there was a little English princess named Bella. One day, she found a beautiful dress on the ground outside her castle. She took the dress inside and put it on. It was a magical dress and, when she wore it, she found that she could fly. She flew to America, and in America she bought a wand and a sweetie. Then she flew back to England.

She flew high in the sky and when she looked down, she could see crocodiles way below. She used her wand to bring more fairies to her so she wouldn’t have to fly alone. Before she stopped flying, she flew to a castle and became best friends with another princess named Gabby. She had so much fun in the dress! When she got home, she changed into a normal dress and put the magic dress back on the ground where she found it.

Fairy Wings

Fairy Wings
by Isabella, age 4

There was a little fairy named Lea who wanted to fly like the other fairies, but couldn’t because she had no wings. Another fairy who did have wings lifted her up and flew her around.
She loved being flown through the air, but she wanted to be able to fly without help.

She asked other fairy how she got her wings. The other fairy said, “I have several pairs. I’m the Wing Fairy, and I am the one who gives other fairies their wings.”

The Wing Fairy found a pair of wings for Lea and put them on her. And then little fairy Lea could fly! She flapped her wings and flew high in the sky. She was happy.

The Mermaid & The Boy

The Mermaid & The Boy
by Isabella, age 4

There was a pretty mermaid named Jackie and she saw a boy sleeping on the beach. The ocean’s waves were getting closer to him. The ocean wanted to sweep him away, but she didn’t want him to drown. She couldn’t go on the beach so she sang a song to wake him up.

She sang the “Happy Birthday” song but with different words. She sang,
“You are asleep,
And the ocean
Is coming.
You are asleep,
But you need to
Wake up soon.”

He woke up and saw the waves getting close to him. He stood up, but slipped as the water reached his feet and fell into the water. The ocean’s waves quickly tried to pull him out to sea.

As he swam back to shore, he saw the pretty mermaid Jackie and he knew it had been her song that woke him up and saved him from being swept out to sea while he slept. He never forgot her.
