A story by Rose Henry (age 5)
I found a wishing crystal.
I thought about the wishes I could make, being Spiderella or being a princess.
I think being Spiderella I would have to fight crime at night. I would have to stop the bad guys from doing mean mischief. I would dress in my most beautiful dress with sparkles that would help me see where I am going in the dark. I would actually drive a red motorcycle. Would I be really scary and scare my friends away or be really fancy with a dress that fluffs out from having spider legs?
Because being Spiderella I would not be myself, I am just not myself when I am Spiderella I decided not to be Spiderella.
Being a princess I would have to dress like Cinderella, I couldn’t play with my friends, I would just sit around in the palace. I would have a lot of servants that would have to clean up after me. I would not be able to clean up after myself and they might put stuff in the wrong place.
I think I would get spoiled and lose friends, my friends that are girls would wish to be a princess too. In my beautiful dresses I couldn’t run around and play. I think I would have wear high heals all the time. Except for when I want to be barefoot.
So, I wished to be me. To tell you the truth being them I would not be me, and I like being me. I think that I am the only person that can make that wish come true.
