about 6months back, kayla started telling us her "dream's"

now she had bn listening in to kynan telling me what funny things he'd dreamed about every now and then... so she started asking if she cd tell us 'her' dream. which of course she did... and somehow these 'stories' she told, are always in great detail, and almost always revolve around some kind of animal and his friends. :)

this last week i realised that our little storyteller was becoming more and more preoccupied with thinking up the plots for these stories of hers, and that ky and myself were really beginning to enjoy them.  i'm starting to think that she has a gift for this, and that is why i've decided i want to write them down. kynan says that at this rate she can write a book. then we can bind all the stories and read them at bedtime :)

so here is one of the shorter ones, in her own words exactly as she told us... rt down to the final "The End! triumphantly declared at the end of each story. (grammatical errors have not been altered.)

"This story is about a snake. It was a friendly snake. He was a boy. It was night-time, but he wanted to play with his friends. But his friends was asleep. Then he went to Zebra's house. Zebra was eating some leaves, And he asked "Zebra, can you play with me?"  ...no, can you make him say "Can you play with me *pleeeeease*?"  Then Zebra said, "Ya, you can play with me."  Then they played and played and played.  The End!
