I Can Fly

was created especially for

 

Lauren Dickenson of Inkster, Michigan

at the age of 5

 

With Love From,

Grandma Jane

August 25, 2001

 

{pg3}

 

There was something very special waiting for Lauren Dickenson when she woke on Saturday.

{pg4}

 

Grandma Jane was sitting in the living room with a large, mysterious-looking package sitting on the sofa. The package was covered with a shiny, gold cloth.

 

{pg7}

 

"Lauren, I have a special present for you, but before I give it to you, you must agree never to tell anyone else about it," Grandma Jane said in a hush.

 

Lauren giggled with excitement at the mystery surprise. "Oh, I promise not to tell anyone."

 

{pg8}

 

"Only one person every one hundred years is given the honor of flying with the birds," Grandma Jane said, as Lauren and Grandma Jane pulled the gold cloth off the most beautiful cage Lauren had ever seen.

 

The cage was made of solid gold. But inside was just a very ordinary looking goose with something attached to its back.

 

{pg11}

 

The goose opened the cage door and walked over and stood next to Lauren. "Lauren, you have been given this honor because you are such a good girl," said the goose.

Lauren could not believe her ears. "Now, if you will sit in my saddle we can begin our journey," said the goose in a very dignified manner.

 

{pg12}

 

Lauren sat in the goose's saddle and the goose waddled out the front door.

 

"Hold very gently onto my neck," said the goose as they lifted off the ground.

 

{pg15}

 

They were really flying! They flew around the front yard two times and then made a left turn and zoomed above the trees.

 

Lauren looked down and saw Grandma Jane waving to her. She let loose of the goose's neck just long enough to give a quick wave back.

 

{pg16}

 

Just then a whole flock of geese joined Lauren and the goose. They honked "hello" and the goose honked back. Lauren giggled with delight.

 

{pg19}

 

The geese then flew in a special formation behind Lauren.

 

{pg20}

 

"Hold on and don't let go. We are going to fly much higher now," said the goose as she raised her beak a little. Lauren and the goose flew higher . . .

 

{pg23}

 

. . . and higher until they were inside a puffy cloud. It was like floating in fog.

 

{pg24}

 

Suddenly Lauren could hear a lot of noise coming from somewhere in front of them.

 

"Hold on tight, child. We may have some trouble up ahead," warned the goose. She then honked some orders to the flock.

 

{pg27}

 

The next thing Lauren knew they were flying above the clouds and the whole flock of geese had surrounded them.

 

She knew, without being told, that the geese were there to protect her from whatever was making the loud cawing sounds that were rapidly getting louder every second.

 

pg28}

 

Flocks of birds were now flying toward the geese. The geese honked at the birds. One bird cawed back.

 

"Lauren, these birds would like to know if they may fly with you."

 

{pg31}

 

Lauren giggled and waved to all of the birds as they flew in formation behind her and the geese.

 

{pg32}

 

"Now we must take you back home," said the goose.

 

{pg35}

 

And before she knew it, Lauren was standing next to Grandma Jane in her own front yard.

 

She looked up and waved to all of her new friends as they flew up above the trees, and through the clouds where she had just soared with them.
