Every kid should have a best friend. A companion, a buddy, someone they can go on adventures with; someone they can tell secrets to; someone who will always be there. Well Barder is mine. Even though he’s my dog, he’s the best friend a kid could have. We do everything together. We have been everywhere a kid could want to go, and there is still so much to explore. One day, I came home from school and Barder was at the door as usual, ready to go on an adventure. We went walking around the house for supplies (usually anything interesting looking) for our adventure. Unfortunately, all we found was an orange scarf which we have used for a bunch of other things to explore, but I thought maybe we can find a new use for it this time. I had been a super hero, a king, built a fort, and gone to the moon and back with this scarf. Who knows what I’ll use it for this time?
I grabbed the scarf and went outside with Barder and we were off. I wrapped the scarf, which became my turban and we pretended we were flying over the mountains, over the ocean, soaring above the birds and the clouds. We ran and ran in circles until I felt Barder’s feet were no longer touching the ground, but the clouds and when I looked down we were flying over my house, over everyone’s house. I couldn’t believe it! We were actually flying. I started to lift the turban on my head to see what I had collected for this adventure but the minute I lifted it, we started to fall. This turban was magical. It could make us fly.
We went over so many oceans and deserts and mountains, I lost count. Before I knew it, we were in outer space and we saw this planet and it didn’t look like anything Barder or I had ever seen before, since well, most of our adventures took place on earth. We ended up stopping on an island. The people or creatures I guess, had a pinkish color to their skin were afraid of us, their eyes glowed with a yellow tint, but overall looked kind of like people back home. I saw one that looked like my mom, and my friend Kevin, and my sister Susie, it was kind of weird at first and they thought we were strangers from another planet, and we had to convince them we came in peace. They assumed I had some type of hostility, and danger toward the people. I showed them some of the things I brought with me in my backpack. My super action figure, my puzzle, figures, you know? Anything a kid could ever want. They looked at my stuff and held it like it was going to explode and thought Barder was some type of rabid animal on the loose. I was confused and wanted to go home so I told Barder, and he replied, “How are we gonna do that? Where is your turban?” at that moment I reached for my turban on top of my head and felt nothing. What was I going to do now? What if it had fallen off in space? What if l left it when we took off back at home? What if we were going to be stuck on this planet forever? As I look around searching for my magic turban I see the creatures begin to play with some of my toys and in one of the little children’s hands I see my magical turban. Now the real question is, how do I get it back? Barder and I decided the only way to do it is to create a distraction and snatch it when no one is looking. This however did not work and so we decided on plan B: to suggest a trade: My toys for the turban. They were not willing to make a deal unless they could keep Barder too. So I agreed. That night, I snuck into their cave, got Barder, my toys, and the magical turban and took off. The creatures ran after me but after I put on the turban, we were off. When we got back home, we told everyone the story of our adventures, and even though they didn’t believe us, we knew what really happened and we never took an adventure without the magic turban again.
