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 drive the Elders....
like crazy!
The Elders' Committee honored
Dick Zimbrick on Valentine's Day with
flowers, a crown, and t-shirt thanking him
for driving the Elders' van on outings.
Many Elders are not able to drive, and
Dick's work has been a blessing to those
in the community who attend outings
organized by the Elders' Committee.
Happy 1st Birthday
