Linda’sGreat

Discovery

Written by Cami LeeIllustrated by Cami Lee and Brooke Lee

Once upon a time

there was little girl

named Linda.

It

was

her

birthday.

She had just moved

into the neighborhood.

Her friends had

hidden

her present near a cave.

She found fl ower seeds.

Then she

planted them and

they became all sorts of

different fl owers. Some of

them were the same.

After a while she discovered a

cave. Then she discovered lots of trees.

She decided that the cave would be her home.

She decided to make furniture out of the trees – chairs,

tables, everything a house would need.

Her father and mother had died, so she decided that she should

get her father’s and mother’s working supplies.

Linda planted the fl ower seeds

near the cave and they grew

really, really big.

She put the fl owers in a

special way –

she made a fl ower path

to each of her friends’

houses so they wouldn’t

get hot when they

came to visit.

I mean,

these fl owers were as

big as a tree!!!!!

Every time she would cut

a fl ower, a few days

later it would grow back.

It was kind of like

magic.

That’s what this story is all about.

The magic fl owers

kept Linda company. Whenever

she was hungry

all of a sudden a little bud

would come out of

the ground next to the fl owers

and inside the bud

there would be food. Like

hamburger, or any

kind of food that

a little girl would want to eat.

Linda made a pool and

the fl owers baptized her in the pool

once she turned eight.

The fl owers made everything

she needed, so she didn’t

need any money

to buy stuff.

One day she was walking in the woods.

She had forgotten that the fl owers

told her there were dangerous things in the woods.

She didn’t notice, but all around her were

lots of different kinds of animals and they

were all very, very MEAN!

A bear was creeping up behind her and he

was very, very hungry.

Then all of a sudden a bat

swooped down and almost hit her.

Linda thought she was safe,

but then she heard the bat

calling again, way up high in the air.

Then she heard all kinds of

scary sounds, and she

remembered what the fl owers

had warned her about.

But, she had

forgotten how to get home.

The forest was very bright,

and she wasn’t used

to all that brightness because the

fl owers always shaded her.

It hurt her eyes and

made her confused. She thought

the sun was right above

her because it was so bright in

the forest for her.

So all these scary animals were

creeping around her,

but she couldn’t see any

of them because she

was blinded from the light.

She hadn’t noticed that

all of her pet birds

were always watching

over her.

They saw her in the forest.

As soon as they knew

she was in trouble, two

big birds swooped down

and picked her up.

She laid down on their

backs and they fl ew all the

way back to her cave and

her fl owers.

Linda was safe.

The bear followed the birds back to Linda’s cave, but no one knew it. The bat and all

the forest creatures also followed her home. When they saw the fl owers they were scared,

because they were allergic to shade and fl owers.

A little breeze came up, which caused the

fl owers to start shaking and spreading pollen all over the forest creatures.

The breeze got stronger and blew the creatures back to the forest.

When they got there, they were all dead.

No one noticed that all the forest

creatures had left little, tiny

eggs behind on the forest fl oor. Then

the eggs opened.

All the forest creatures like bats,

scary birds (not like the

birds that were Linda’s friends),

wolves, 2,000 tigers,

3,000 lions

and 9 million vampire bats and

mean rats with two sharp

teeth sticking out.

Unfortunately for these creatures,

they were allergic to the fl owers,

but not the shade. They had

been in shade their entire

lives, because

they had been in the eggs!!!

However, they WERE allergic to

the sun (he he he).

Then the fl owers

started coming apart where

the animals were in

order to

let the sun shine through.

So the animals all died and the

breeze blew their

remains

back into the forest.

Then the fl owers, the birds

AND Linda lived happily, ever after.
