I!came!up!with!an!idea.!!“If!we!spell!something!from!Paris,!such!as!a!box!or!a!large!cabinet,!and!then!hide!in!
it,!we!will!be!transported!to!Paris!when!it!returns!after!the!hour!is!up.”!

!
“You!think!your!idea!will!work?”!she!asked.!
!
“I!do,”!I!replied.!!What!I!did!not!add,!though,!was!that!I!thought!it!was!probably!a!bad!idea!for!two!elevenL
year!old!children!to!go!to!Paris!on!their!own.!!But!I!said!nothing!and!we!put!my!plan!into!action.!!
!
Kimmi!spelled,!“bLeLd!fLrLoLm!PLaLrLiLs,’!since!she!thought!it!would!be!more!fun!to!ride!on!a!bed!than!in!a!box!
or!a!cabinet,!and!…!poof!!…!a!nice!looking!bed!appeared!on!the!sidewalk!across!the!street.!!It!had!a!metal!
canopy!with!scrolled!metal!headboard!and!footboard.!!The!bedspread!was!gold!and!there!were!lots!of!dark!
orange!and!gold!pillows!on!it.!!Hard!to!explain,!which!is!why!I!drew!a!picture:!
!
It!looked!so!comfy!that!Kimmi!and!I!immediately!ran!across!the!street!
(looking!both!ways!for!cars!first,!of!course)!and!hopped!right!onto!it.!!!
!
We!lay!on!the!bed!talking!about!what!Paris!might!be!like.!!The!hour!
passed!by!very!quickly!and!then!…!poof!!…!we!were!suddenly!in!a!
room!that!perfectly!matched!the!bed.!Very!fancy!!We!quickly!jumped!
out!of!the!bed,!ran!out!of!the!bedroom!and!saw!that!we!were!in!a!
French!house!just!as!fancy!as!the!bed.!!We!ran!down!the!fancy!gold!
painted!stairs,!out!the!fancy!gold!painted!doors!and!…!into!Paris!!
!
How!did!we!know!it!was!Paris?!!Of!course,!we!had!no!idea!except!that’s!

where!the!bed!was!from,!since!Kimmi!spelled!it!that!way.!And!it!looked!
just!like!I!had!always!imagined!Paris!to!look.!
