Mother Goose
One sunny day Shae Christopher Veach , age 4, from Chandler,Arizona, was enjoying the afternoon with Britt, Cade, Ryan, Lauryn, Mere', and Poppy. Suddenly Mother Goose landed in front of him.
"Oh fiddle de de, fiddle de dum, I was visiting Old King Cole and I have lost my way home!" exclaimed Mother Goose.
"Please do not worry Mother Goose, I will help you find your way home," Shae offered eagerly. They soon came upon an old woman living in a giant shoe. "Let's ask for directions," suggested Shae.
There were so many children playing that Mother Goose and Shae didn't know what to do.
In the distance Shae saw brightly colored balloons flying high in the air. So, they strolled down the cobblestone road toward Humpty Dumpty's house.
"Oh help, I'm Falling!" yelled Humpty Dumpty.
"We will put you back together again," reassured the King's men.
Everyone was busy helping Humpty Dumpty, so Shae and Mother Goose decided to ask someone else for directions.
"Up ahead I see Little Miss Muffet sitting on a tuffet. I bet she can help," said Shae.
But everyone was frightened away by a huge spider wearing a little brown hat. Shae was so scared he wished Britt, Cade, Ryan, Lauryn, Mere', and Poppy could have been there to help.
They wandered for a while and came upon a beautiful garden of colorful flowers with smiling faces.
"The blossoms are beautiful, Mary, Mary! How does your garden grow?" inquired Shae.
With silver bells and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row," answered Mary, Mary, quite contrary.
Shae and Mother Goose followed the path and heard pretty music from a distant fiddle. As they strolled closer, Shae saw a cow jump over the moon, and a dish run away with a spoon. Everybody laughed to see such a sight that Shae forgot to ask for directions.
Shae looked up and saw a huge pumpkin house with windows in a garden.
"Let's ask Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater, for help," suggested Shae.
"Can you help Mother Goose find her way home?" Shae asked Peter, Peter.
"I would love to help, but I am busy eating pumpkins," replied Peter, Peter.
A merry melody caught the attention of Shae and Mother Goose Everyone was skipping in a circle and playing ring around the rosies.
"Come on, Let's join the fun!" giggled Shae.
So, Mother Goose and Shae played until they all fell down.
Shae turned around and heard the tic-toc tic-toc of hickory, dickory ,dock.
"I see a giant clock with a happy face," announced Shae. The clock struck one, and a small grey mouse ran down.
Shae remarked, "Gee whiz, it's getting late. I must return to my home in Chandler, Arizona. Britt, Cade, Ryan, Lauryn, Mere', and Poppy will be worried.
Shae told Mother Goose, "Twinkle, Twinkle little star will guide us to your home."
Mother Goose thanked Shae for helping her return home. Shae waved good-bye and promised to visit Mother Goose again.
Shae thought, "I can't wait to tell Britt, Cade, Ryan, Lauryn, Mere', and Poppy about my wonderful adventure."
