The Magic Carpet

In a long winter night, I was in my bed reading the story book “IF I had a Magic Carpet” written by Laura Clarizio. It was the story of a magic carpet where a girl called Miranda is the owner of it and does various good jobs with the help of it.

While I was reading that book I suddenly found myself being the owner of that magic carpet and having a ride on it. At first I wondered how I came to be there and also was afraid because I was flying in the sky with birds. But later I began to have fun. I could see the whole country at once with my eyes and also could go anywhere I like; the thing was that I just need to whisper to the magic carpet. I couldn’t believe that I was actually there. I was just enjoying myself.  While I was riding, I saw a goat which was about to fall from the hill. So I suddenly instructed magic carpet and saved the life of that goat. Then we continued with our ride. Again I saw a child crying on the road. Then we went to that child and came to know that he was looking for his mother who missed him due to crowd .Then we took him with us to look for his mother and we were success to bring them together. They were very happy seeing each other and I was also happy seeing them together. Then we went further with our ride. Suddenly, there was a big storm and the magic carpet lost its balance due to which I fell from there. I shouted for help. It was like all the fun turned into hell.

But thanks to my luck, I came out of my dream and found myself alive. And wondered if I was really having a ride on “A Magic Carpet”…..
