AN AFTERNOON A girl and a boy were walking through a forest of apple trees. The girl said Watch for lions. The boy said Like we always do. At the top of a tall hill there was an endless plain. The girl said Be a horse. The boy said I'll run faster. The sun went on ahead (it had a head start). There was now a wind, and birds. Wild hooves stomped and clattered. The girl said I'll stop when you get tired. The boy said OK, I'll stop. The girl said Thank you. Just then, a garden jumped up at their feet. The tomatoes were big enough to sit on, and the watermelons were as big as a school. Digging in the dirt, they found moles to ride like ponies. The girl said Do we have parents? The boy said What do you think?
