Imagine the Adventure II

when i was

5 years old,

i went on

many quests.

i had to

traverse a

rugged land

to find and

save

whoever was

in dire need

this time.

it started by

swinging along the

tops of trees,

competing with

the monkeys.

i would then

walk on

my tiptoes

across a vine

stretching between the

heads of

the tallest trees.

i slid down

rough trunks,

100 feet until

my legs

ached and

my feet finally

kissed the ground.

i saved

dozens of lives

that way.

i was injured

after i

plummeted off a vine,

trying to swing

farther than

my arms could reach.

i didn't save

anyone for a while,

but when i came back,

prepared to rescue

a few more

civilians.

my jungle was

destroyed.

so i sat with

my legs crossed

and ran my fingers

along the

stems of flowers

as they

hauled away

the last piece of

my jungle:

the monkey bars.
