The sad, little red shed

Uploaded: December 29, 2003

Description

Once upon a time there was a sad, little, red shed. He sat outside the big house and was constantly being stuffed with dirty shovels, rakes and pots. In the fall, his little glass panes and vents were clogged with leaves; tears leaked from his sills and ran down his red shingles. During the winter, his foundation got very cold from sitting on the snow. He yearned to sit at the beach and feel the warm sand on his bottom and bright sun on his roof. To be continued.

Then one day a beautiful princess stopped by the side of the road with her magic camera. She captured his spirit and carried it with her to Florida. His beam will never freeze on cold cement again. His interior is overflowing with colorful beach toys and warm, sandy pails. He is content. Now, only if he could win the BP photo contest….Where did the princess put that magic camera! #83131
