Elepha

          “Mommy.”  “Mommy,” said Emma after waking up from her nap.  “The dollies were talking to me and Elepha the Elephant was flying, flying with her big ears.”

          “Well, Emma, that was just a nice dream you were having.”

          “No.” “No.”  “It really happened.  It really happened.  My dollies and I were walking in the park.  They were in the doll carriage.  My three favorite dollies, my little boy dally,

Cassy, and my two little girl dollies, Love and Angel.  And Elepha was flying.”

          “Cassy, Love, Angel, say hello to Mommy.”

          Silence.

          “You can talk.  You talked to me before.”

          “Elepha, fly for Mommy.  Fly with your big ears.”

          Nothing happens.

          “Well, Emma, maybe he’ll fly for me a little later.  Right now, you can get up, have your chocolate pudding and then play with your little dollies and Elepha in the backyard.”

          And that’s just what Emma did.
