"Is the legend really true?" Asked Alice with curiosity.
"No-one knows" Replied a lady with rich, flowing, blonde hair and a sweet voice. Known as the town librarian.
"Well... do you mind if I borrow it for another week?" Alice asked quickly and carefully.
"Oh I guess so!" The lady replied "Go off and play now."
Alice had a broad smile on her face of joy as she carried the dusty old book out of the town library.
Alice carried her book all the way home. After all, her house was just around the corner from the library. Alice was very pleased about this. You see, Alice is not your average, everyday girl. And more so when you read what is going to happen next!
As Alice plonked her book on her rickety old desk and sat on the aged, wooden, chair she had made when she was young, She cautiously unbuckled the tattered, ancient book [after all it had been in the library for centuries] and peered inside.
" Legend says that Narnia was first discovered when a young boy's wicked old uncle decided to test his latest find on him. These things were like rings. One would take you to an unknown world and the other would allow you to go home. This boy discovered Narnia and other mysterious things along the way!" Read Alice aloud.
"Wow!" Murmured Alice "How cool!"
"Alice, dear! Dinner time." Shouted a distant voice.
"Coming!" Replied Alice. A little annoyed that she had to stop reading.
Alice walked down the rickety stairs and arrived in the dinning room, which, in Alice's opinion, was not much of a dinning room. Although she was happy with what she had, unlike many other kids at school. The dinning room was a wooden table with matching wooden chairs, a small, warn out, old rug and a little family photo, hanging on the wall by a feeble piece of string and a loose screw. The portrait was in a photo frame made of twigs tied together with strands grass. Alice had made that frame for her mother's birthday and was quite proud of her handy work.
For dinner, was a small bowl of cabbage soup. Alice was used to having cabbage soup every night, because thats all the family could afford. Every once in a while, the family would save up to buy an occasional roast or pasta dish for a treat, but that rarely ever happened.
I guess you have already figured that Alice was not the popular type at school. She was not wealthy or had proper clothes, but there was one thing that the other kids did not have that Alice had...
PLZ REVIEW AND SAY IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO KEEP GOING. I WILL GO ON IF I GET MORE THAN 6 REVIEWS :D THANKS FOR READING!
OH AND BY THE WAY, I KNOW THAT THERE LOOKS LIKE THERE ISN'T MUCH OF A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BOOK NARNIA, LATER IN THE STORY
