Sniffles

ebook

In the southern extremes on the island of Serendipity was a magical desert of silver sand. In the desert lived wonderful creatures: camels with humps and wart hogs with bumps. It was here that long-necked wobbly-legged ostriches flapped their wings that would never fly chasing clouds of butterflies into the sky. Of special delight was an ostrich called Sniffles. Sniffles loved to run with the other ostriches, but more than running she loved to tell stories. The stories she told were little stories filled with big exaggerations. If she came upon a single purpled pansy in the dunes she would count it once, then twice, then thrice. Soon a single flower became a veritable meadow filled with purpled pansies. And then a mouse became mice that grew and grew into a herd elephants that nearly crushed the little ostrich. And then the prick of a thorn quickly turned into a mortal wound. Her stories had become so filled with exaggerations that the truth was often lost in the telling of the story. And then, one day she really did experience a fantastical adventure. She tried to tell the story without lies or exaggeration but none of the animals that lived in the desert believed a single word The Sniffles said. Ages 5-9
