I Think I Shall Write Faerie Tales

I think I shall write tales for children Christian Anderson said. Visions of bears, wolves, tigers, roses, and lilies danced through his head. Sorting them out took an imagination that was rather wild. He put them into sections – fierce, humble, happy and mild. The main characters were full of personality beyond his control. He saw a peacock, dragon, goldfish, opossum and one lying mole. Plots thick and simple travelled down his dendrite alley. He began to select names like Furious Phil and Sallow Sill Sally. The more his imagination was on fire, the happier he became. Writing the stories down was his ultimate end game. He was chuckling to himself as he wrote down the story line. Wow! Said his impressed wife. Your words are so fine!
