Point Of View

As you cross the crystal bridge, you hear the sound of two voices coming from the shores of the river. One of the voices sounds distressed. The other sounds angry. At the end of the crystal bridge is a herd of wild horses. You notice that they are stamping the ground violently. If you would like to go to the shore and find out who's talking, turn to page 47. If you'd like to approach the wild horses, turn to page 58.

The steps of the dark temple towered before Kung and Kiko. Kung listened for the sounds of the enemy, but he heard nothing. This made him sure that they were walking into a trap. "Do you hear that, Kiko?" he said. Kiko listened intently. She heard a few birds tweeting and a light breeze blowing, but nothing else. She shook her head. Kung gave her a knowing look. Kiko understood what Kung had left unsaid. Her heart beat rapidly. Kung and Kiko were not the type of people to get afraid, but they knew that a fight was coming

"You need to try harder, Kyle, if you want to graduate," Mr. Jenkins intoned. Kyle nodded his head, but he wasn't really listening. He was picturing himself snowboarding down a mountain while Mr. Jenkins lectured him. Somehow, Kyle knew exactly where to put the "uh-huhs" even though he wasn't listening to a word that Mr. Jenkins was saying. "Do you want to graduate, Kyle?" Mr. Jenkins asked.
"Uh-huh," replied Kyle.

The wrong choice could make your life much harder for the next few years. So, what do you do? Here you stand, where do you sit?

The Land of Candy spread before me. I licked my lips as chocolate bunnies bounded through the peanut butter fields. I heard the songs of the sour gummy birds in the taffy trees. My tummy rumbled when I saw caramel cobwebs spun by sugar spiders in rock candy caves. I wanted to eat everything that I saw, but Mr. Travis had warned me against that. He said that the elders would view me as a monster if
word got out that I was ravaging the Land of Candy to appease my sweet tooth.

We stared at the Bubblegum Fortress from the mouth of the Cotton Candy Woods. The gumdrop soldiers were scurrying atop their sugar coated ramparts. I wouldn't be surprised if someone had tipped them off. Chet Eagle approached me and said, "What now, Commander Candy?" I thought about it for a second.
