Cherry Land!!!

“Tom… this doesn’t look anything like how you described it… everything here is… red!”

Tom was just as mystified as Mary. The thought of another mystical land like Candy Land was unbelievable!

“I know. I’ve never seen this place before!”

The two children looked around them in wonder and surprise. Practically everything Tom and Mary laid eyes on was red! There were cherries, apples, red cakes, red sweets, red berries, red lollypops and strawberries! Mary was utterly dazed because she had never imagined anything like it! However, Tom wasn’t feeling as lost as Mary as he had already been to a magical land. But what they saw was not pixies but different types of cute animals in colorful body color and wings!

The leader, a big, winged, feminine creature, then approached the visitors and asked graciously what their business was, coming to their land.

Tom said, “my name is Tom and this is my friend Mary. We are looking for Candy Land. Do you know where it is?”

The leader said, “Hello, Tom and Mary. My name is Rosie and this is where we, the animals, live! Cherry Land! I heard that Candy Land has moved to another dimension but I absolutely have no idea why or where it’s current location is. I’m really sorry.”

Tom wondered where Candy Land is and why they would suddenly move.

“Perhaps Mary and I could stay here and explore your land before we return home?”

“Of course you could!” Rosie exclaimed gladly.

Tom, Mary and some of the flying creatures they met played Pretend. In the game, they pretended that Tom and Mary were the good King and Queen and twenty of the animals were the knights and the other twenty were the enemies. Rosie and another animal were made the bad King and Queen.

They got very exhausted after playing for nearly the whole afternoon, especially Tom and Mary. They soon had to say goodbye to Rosie and the enchanting, cute animals.

Both Tom and Mary waved to their friends. “Goodbye everybody!”

And all the fairies replied, “Goodbye to you too, friends!”

They then helped Tom and Mary go up the hole before bidding their last goodbyes. Both of them thanked Rosie for the wonderful time they had in Cherry Land.

The two children returned home tired but very happy indeed. Tom was still thinking where Candy Land has gone to, upon reaching home, because there was something pretty urgent he had to tell them. He knew in his heart someday he’d find them……….
