“ Thank you , ma'am” I had finished filling out the volunteer paperwork. Now I could start my job! I was to stand in the animal exhibit and help visitors find their way around. Someone was coming! “Hello there my dear! Could you please tell me where the brown bear statue is?” I answered by saying,”Down the hall and to the left, Sir.” He replied thank you and left. People started coming in crowds and swarms after that. “Could you tell us where the bathrooms are?” “Is that an otter?” “Do you know where the gift shop is?” The suit I was wearing was a bit hot, but I didn’t mind. Finally, it was time to go home. My throat was dry from talking so much. It hurt a little but not too badly. “Hello Dad!” I rushed into the house and gave him a big hug. What a great day it was!
Finally! My father had a meeting with the principal of our school , and didn’t get home until about 5:45 pm. “Alright! I will cook dinner while you feed the dogs and put your bags away. You need to help too, Dad!” Oh, Mom!
Oh! I forgot to tell you that we had dogs! One was named Ashley, (She was black!) another named Alley (She was toasted coconut colored!), and the last one name Austin ( He was brown and black!). “It’s Cal’s turn to feed the dogs!” I yelled out. Then I went to put my backpack away. When I came back down stairs, I helped Mom make raviolis.
I crawled into bed after dinner and tucked myself in. *Bring! Bring!* “Hello?” Mother answered the phone down stairs. *”Twinkle, twinkle, little star!”* My brother was playing music while he slept. *Beep! Beep!* Dad printed something out for his work. *Hoot! Hoot!* An owl whispered a sweet song. The sounds of the night filled my head. I dreamed of riding a horse through the museum. WHAT! That made no sense! I woke up with a start, only to be greeted by blackness. A few minutes later, I fell asleep again. Sweet dreams, Cara!
My Dream:
Cara: Where am I?
Voice: Welcome to the land of books!
Cara: Who are you?
*Lady steps into the sun, while a beautiful city is painted behind her
Lady of Books: I am the Lady of Books. I take care of all stories.
Cara: What are those portals?
Lady of Books: Oh! Would you like to go through the Portals of History?
*The Lady of books pushes Cara, and Cara falls into the portals
