Ice Cream Friday

It was a sunny, super hot Friday and I was casually strolling to my school. My neon-checkered backpack was digging into my shoulders, but I was determined to get to my destination. As I walked on, out of the corner of my detailed eye, I saw a huge sparkling forest green carpet. I slowly but cautiously side-stepped over. I stared hard at the unknown carpet. Sparks started to fizzle from the magic of the amazing object. Curious as I am, I decided to place my foot covered with my brand-new gleaming blue converse shoe on the edge of the carpet. Suddenly, there was a very loud gust of wind and the massive carpet lifted me off the grass-covered ground! I gasped, it wouldn’t let me off the magical ride! I started to panic frantically, but after a while I was snoozing like my black cat on a broiling summer day.

All of a sudden, I landed with an abrupt bang against the firm ground. My head was spinning as I got to my unsteady feet. Dazed, I looked around at the environment I was in. It was covered with whiteness, kind of like snow but tasted yummy. It was sweet like vanilla ice-cream! I glanced around, and the first thing that caught my eye was a colossal shiny golden gate. “Hmm.” I said to my self “I wonder where I am.” I pranced over and inspected the gorgeous gate. The sign read: Come on in! Ice-cream Ville!

I was on cloud nine! My face lit up like a light bulb! I was ecstatic! Suddenly, the vast gate opened to my royalty.

I jumped in as fast as a kangaroo! As soon as the massive ice-cream hills hit my eyeballs I was in heaven. Every flavor you could imagine was in the sight of my eyes. I ran over as fast as my legs could take me to the nearest rocky-road ice-cream pile. I didn’t even bother for a spoon, ice-cream here I come! After devouring the rocky-road I felt like checking the place out. Where was I anyways? As soon as I had digested all the rocky-road, I saw my favorite flavor, strawberry! As I started to scamper over, my mom’s words flashed in my mind: eat your fruits and vegetables!

I resisted. All of a sudden I thought of my family, I bet they were missing me terribly. I pondered for a while and then came to my decision. I will go home, and see them all.. But if I tell them about my adventure, there’s no chance they’ll believe me. It’s the carpet and my little secret.
