Analysis of Dreams Come True



       The Sullivan family decided to visit their relatives for the Christmas holiday.  
         Everyone was excited except little Sarah who felt in dismay.
     She asked her mom “Why do we have to go on a plane to       visit everyone?”
        Her mom said, “ You’ll see, It will be fun.”
My friend Jill is seeing her relatives traveling by car.”
Her mom said, “That’s because they don’t live far.”
         Sarah said “ I am scared to go by plane.
     Her mom said “ Your dad and I will be with you when we fly to Maine          
      Sarah then said goodnight with a big sigh.
       Then she went to sleep with a little cry.

When Sarah woke up at night.
      She saw Santa in her sight.
      Sarah asked “  Santa what are you doing here?
      Santa said “I saw you crying with fear.
When Sarah went outside, she saw reindeers standing by.
Santa said” Come with me Sarah it is time to fly
Even though Sarah was scared of heights.
She loved Santa and knew she will be alright.

As they flew, Sarah looked down at every colorful Christmas light.
She told Santa everything looked beautiful tonight.

They flew to Santa’s house, and Sarah was astonished to see a nice red house with a colorful tree.
Inside the wall was white
with red curtains that looked just right.

Sarah saw many presents and yummy cookies to eat
Santa said “Take some cookies. My treat.
He said,” I stuff too many in my belly.”
That is why I move like a big bowl of jelly
When Santa flew Sarah home that night.
Sarah didn’t hold Santa’s hand very tight.
Santa said, “You are  brave see.”
“You can fly high in the sky just like me.

When Sarah woke up from her dream.
She was surprised but didn’t scream.
As the big day came when the Sullivan family boarded their flight.
Sarah felt just right.

Sarah’s dad asked “ Are you okay”
She said with a smile “ I want to see everyone today”
As Sarah’s parents saw she wasn’t afraid of the plane.
They took off and flew to Maine.
