Beliefs Are Sometimes Truer Then The Facts

Once upon a time in a huge metropolis called Danville, Va. there lived an 8 year-old girl named Lidia. Actually, that was the name everybody had called her because most people called her, "Lying-Liddy. She wasn't even good at it, but that was something people didn't want her to be good at. When she tore her pants while playing rugby with the boys, she told her mom that she had done it while saving the life of her friend, Cathy from a giant who was about to eat her up. When her teacher asked why she didn't hand in her homework assignment, she told her she made it into a paper airplane and some bad-guys hijacked it to Cuba. Even when her friends wanted to know why she didn't show up for the big sleep-over at her best-friend, Amy's house, instead of saying she forgot, she told them her mamma had fallen and was lying on the floor unconscious so it was faster to take her to the hospital herself, even though she was only 10 years-old. The saddest part about that whole thing was she had been telling so many stories that soon nobody could trust her at all. That was extremely tragic for the young girl's life, but it was her decision to lie about things rather then take the consequences. It was as if she had a serious disease which caused her to do that.

Then when she was painting in her parents bedroom, which was strictly forbidden, and her daddy asked why there was paint on his new blazer, she told him she had to put paint on the floor because a mummy was after her so that she had to trip him up. That infuriated him, not that she had done something bad, but more that she had lied to him instead of confessing her mistake and taking the consequences. Because of that, he sent her to bed with no supper after spanking her big-time. He also forbade her mommy from seeing her.

That night she went to bed hungry, but while lying there, she heard the sound of something attempting to open her window. The odd part about it was the fact that she was on throw with a right straight face. "That's awful! Well, let's see, for my first one, I wish that I could feel happy for the rest of my time on this Earth."

"A wise choice," said the ferry God-thing, "Now, here's looking at you, kid, even though you are not a goat, which isn't a, 'ba-a-a-ad' thing, because it's the acronym for, 'greatest-of-all-time,' 'butt,' Oops! Excuse me! I mean your hine-quarters! That's a great thing for you to wish for master! Here we go! Bam!"

He clapped his hands and suddenly she felt a great feeling of ecstasy over come her entire body like she had never experienced before, but it was terrific.

"Well done, baby-cakes! How about your second wish? Make it another goody!"

"For my next wish, hmm, I wish that I could have enough money to cover me for the rest of my days here on this old planet Earth, it that's something wise."

"Well, it's not the best, but it's reasonable," said the genie." He clapped his hands again and in a flash of light she was instantly surrounded with lots of extremely high bills, including a whole stack of green paper with pictures of Woodrow Wilson on them, since he is on the $1,000,000.00 bill, which is the largest bill ever manufactured in history. It's not even made any more which means it would be that much more valuable to somebody who owns any of them.

"You still have got one more wish, master," the smiling ferry reminded him.

Lidia smiled and said, "For my last wish, I'd love to be done with this part of this silly story, if that would be cool with you, Pix! Now, is it cool to call you"

That made the pixie laugh-out-loud. Then she said, "Well, that wish is most definitely my command as well, master!" Then he clapped his hands a third time, and, be it not against me to do something that would upset a pixie, so that means it's time to move on to the next adventure in this story you're reading.

As Lidia grew up, she got into taking bad drugs such as l. s. d. because it was the only drug she knew how to spell. That caused her to have some trips. The first one was good. She saw a lot of wild, twinkling, psychedelic colors which surrounded the whole room. She really did love seeing all those cool things like she'd never seen anything like before. As she took some more of them, it lit up much more wild, beautiful colors which were twinkling and flashing in rhythm. Then they broke up and each blinked individually like hundreds of lightening bugs, each one trying to be prettier then all the others around them. Since she couldn't help it, she took a whole handful of those so-called, "magic-pills" she'd just bought. Lidia loved to travel, but that was taking her on a fantastic, "trip" without even having to pack her suitcases. Then she took a handful of them.

Yet that time it took her on a bad trip. She writhed on the floor, screaming and shouting words which made no sense. Then she heard some evil laughing and saw terrible monsters roaring and reaching out for her. That caused her to scream even louder while she rolled over towards a chair. She picked it up while still lying on the floor and commenced to beating herself over the head with it. The whole time her screams continued getting louder. Then she blacked out.

She came to in a hospital bed. That's when she heard voices saying, "Hay! She's coming around! Everybody get back here! I don't believe it! This is terrific!"

When Libby tried to sit up, 2 nurses pushed her back down saying, "Easy does it, honey! Man! We thought you were a goner! You're one lucky lady, alright!"

After having several doctors examine her thoroughly, they discharged her, but told her never to touch those drugs again or she might never get over a bad trip.

"I believe that stuff I took was good," she said in a dazed tone of voice, "but I just took too much of it, that's all." Then she tried to sit up, but didn't succeed at it.

After she was discharged and got home, she took some more of that so-called, "magic-trip" stuff. That time it brought another awesome sight of many beautiful colored lights. She honestly did believe those hallucinogens were helping her feel better, except for that one bad time. After buying some more of them, she took them. She figured it was better then smoking marijuana, the wacky-weed, The Wild Wood Flower, the wacky-tobacky, so she continued taking those things. She honestly did believe taking that stuff was helping her feel a whole lot better.

Thinking the reason she had that bad trip was because she didn't use enough of it, since she wasn't the brightest pumpkin in the patch, her elevator didn't go all the way to the top floor, her bread was not quite done, her weals were spinning but her hamster was dead. Some people even said, "When God handed out brains she thought He said, 'rains' and ran for cover. Other folks said, "she thought He said, 'trains,' and missed hers altogether." "She was all bear and no foam." "A few fries short of a Happy Meal." Still a lot of people said, "her weals were spinning although her hamster was dead." "The Lord put her brains in with a teaspoon and somebody jiggled His arm." "She was just plain d. u. m., and didn't even deserve the b." In other words, when it came to being smart, she made a good house-cleaner, and yet she believed everything that she heard, unless there was reason to doubt it, that's even when she took an astronomy course in school, one of the questions on her test was, "What is the moon made of?" so her answer was, "Green cheese." Although, what she lacked in being intelligent, she more then made up for in being extraordinarily sweet and pretty.

Then one day her mom told her to take out the trash. When she got up close to the dumpster, suddenly she noticed something come down from above the clouds. It was shaped like a banana, except that it had wings. After it landed in her back yard, a door opened and a ramp came down. She watched in total aw as 2 greenish-gray things came out. That's when she said, "Aw!" They were both about 8 feet tall, had 4 arms which stuck out in front of them, a golden light kept on flashing over their heads as they came down a ramp that suddenly came out of the side. Libby was too hypnotized by the creatures which came out to run and hide. They acted as if they believed she had some kind of magical powers because they stopped and extended their arms out to her as if they wanted to be friendly and shake her hand, so that made her smile and stretched out her hand to return the kindness he were showing towards her since he was so friendly.

Just then they sucked her into the ship with them. When she screamed, one of them put his hand up towards her mouth which made it impossible for her to even utter a sound. Then the ship roared off into space at a speed which must have been faster then light because she was flattened against the floor. That's when one of the aliens sat her in a chair and made some sounds which kind of resembled R-2 D-2's noises, only C 3 P-O wasn't around to interpret for her.

Lidia believed in beings from another planet. Then again, she believed the trees made the wind blow. Also The Man In The Moon smiled at her whenever she went outside after dark. Yet now her belief about intelligent life forms from other planets had definitely been confirmed, although her main concern at that point in time was to keep those aliens happy, so she waved her hand in the air then brought it down to touch one of them. That made him emit some sound which kind of resembled laughter. At least she was on his good-side anyway.

Suddenly some men began shooting at the alien. Liddi yelled, "No! Don't shoot him! He's my friend! He won' hurt you!" but with all the fiering, they couldn't hear her. She ran in front of her newest friend to make the men stop firing at him. Instead, they ended up shooting her. She fell to the ground, dead. It wasn't until then that the men stopped firing at the alien. Yet even though he'd been wounded by the men's bullets, he still went over and picked up the lifeless body of Lidia. The leader yelled, "Stop! Sease-fore, men! There's a little girl by him!"

Yet he was too late. Those jerks had already shot not only the alien, but Libby as well. That's when she yelled, "You vultures! You've just shot my friend! He was a lot more human then any of you will ever be! I really did love him a lot!"

Then she bent over the body of her friend and wept bitterly. When the men realized they had just killed a nice guy, they all hung their heads in shame. They tried to apologize to her but she screamed, "That would be fine if being sorry could bring my friend back to lire, but it can't! He was a lot more human then any of you vultures will ever be! Get away from me! I hate you, all of you!" Then she bent over the body of her dead friend and wept bitterly. That was terrible.

As fate would have it, at that very moment Bishop David was taking his friend, Cuz home from Bible study when they saw the crowd of people, some were standing in the road, keep them from passing by. When they got out and went over to see what the hold-up was and saw the alien on the ground, Cuz said to the Bishop, "Brother, this looks like a job for The Masked Avenger, but since he's not available, it's up to us." Then they went over to the body of that dead alien, who was lying on the sidewalk. Cuz even laid hands on the so-called, "monster" the men had just killed. Yet as Cuz prayed for the so-called, "space-monster," when those men who'd just shot him were the real monsters. Although, since there was no response from the creature, they kept on praying, and then they left him alone because there was no sign of life within him. They both sighed.

Just as they were getting in their car, the crowd started yelling. When Bishop and Cuz turned around, the y saw the so-called, "monster" sitting up, rubbing his head. That made no sense because he'd just been filled with bullets, but somehow he was very much alive. When the people saw that the alien was alive, they cheered. To make a long story short, that was the first step towards colonizing the planets. It wasn't long after that, more aliens landed near by, only they were treated with royalty. Years later they found that their planet had oxygen and warmth from their 3 sons like the Earth. That was the first step towards colonizing the planets. Cuz's name became known across the whole world. That opened the doors for many women to be friends. One in particular was an author named Ms. Write, and with Cuz, she was literally, "Miss, 'Write.' " After dating a while they got married. Later they brought some junior authors into the world who also became quite famous with their writings. At any rate, like the best-written children's stories of all-time will officially finish up with,

"THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER !!!!"
