Happy Birthday Dorothy from all your friends at the Tribe! Toy Land By Matthew Williams Once upon a time a little boy fell asleep in his bed. When he was asleep, little faireis came in through his window. They tried to lift the boy, but he was too heavy. So they sprinkled fairy dust on him to make him fly. Now the fairies could lift him up and take him t.n Tnv Land. On the wav there, the boy woke up and was really scared to be 1,000,000,000 feet in the air. The fairies finally got to Toy Land. When they got there the boy looked in amazement to see all the toys. The houses were made out of Legos and there was a huge castle made out of more toys. All the toys you could imagine had been put together to make the castle. There were a lot of soldiers guarding the castle. When the fairies took the boy inside, there were thousands of rooms. There was a room for every occasion. The fairies took the boy into a beautiful room with a throne. The boy saw the King. He asked the fairies if he was the one and they said yes. The King asked the fairies to leave and told them they had done a good job. The King then started to tell the boy a story about Toy Land. He said, "Toy Land wasn't Toy Land all the time. It use to be Candy Land. An avalanche fell from Toy Mountain and covered the town with toys. The only way the town could turn back to normal was if The Great One did a favor for the monster that lived on the mountain. The boy got an idea and climbed the mountain to talk to the monster. The monster wanted to fly. The boy went to the town and got some fairy dust. He gave it to the monster. The monster said, "The town is back to normal." The boy went to the castle and the King said, "thank you" and took the boy back home. Then the boy woke up and realized it was only a dream. Matthew Williams is in the third grade at Grand Ronde Elementary, and a tribal member. This story, which was selected by his classmates as the best in the class, was published in the Sheridan Sun last month. i I i uaiv K "lttV f I drive the Elders.... like crazy!
