My Special "Guest Author"

This story was too cute. It was written by my 8 year old daughter, Melody. I loved it and found it rather witty and amusing so I decided to post it here for others to enjoy.

The Adventures of Mario and Yoshi

By Melody Freeman

Once upon a time, there were two friends named Yoshi and Mario. One winter day in the mountains, Yoshi and Mario decided to look for red wood to build a fire. They decided to climb a big mountain because they saw a coyote yelling. Yoshi said, “Let’s have a dance party Mario!” Mario replied, “Ok, I’m going to show you how to do The Sprinkler. Mario took his left hand and put it on the back of his head. He put his right arm straight out in front of him, and moved it across his body in a slow, jerking motion. They kept dancing until they came to a cliff. Mario slipped and fell off the cliff because he was still dancing. Yoshi said, “I’m coming!” Yoshi jumped down to his friend and said, “Hallelujah!” They fell into a forest and looked around. They realized they were lost and they didn’t know the way out.

Makayla and Melody were hiking in the forest when they heard two people talking. Makayla said, “What’s that noise?” Melody said, “Let’s go see.” They went to go see what the noise was. They walked over a log laying across a river to get to the other side. They found Mario and Yoshi laying on the grass crying loudly. Makayla asked “Are you both okay?” Mario and Yoshi replied, “No, we are sad because we are lost.” Melody said, “We’ll help you get out of the forest.” They hiked out the way they came in.

On the way out Mario found a pretty leaf and ate it. All of the sudden he grew raccoon ears, wings and a tail! Yoshi exclaimed, “You have leaf power, Mario!” Melody said, “Let’s use your leaf power and go to Hawaii.” They used [leaf] power to fly to Hawaii and lived happily ever after.
