In a magic land not too far away aqua water cascaded over a
sparking crevasse crystal mountain creating a glimmering miniature
bubbling fall. The cool transparent liquid splashed in downward
effervescent foaming throws into a flowing, deep, rock laden
shimmering riverbed.
Glistening, large and mighty salmon, scales glinting silver,
bronze and coral, dripping drops of rainbow colored water, jumped
upward with each tail flip stroke. The excited fish, with arch
like movements, leaped into the air, in their haste of swimming
upstream to ancient family spawning areas.
Lavender-white monkeys, with dark purple striped tails, unusually
long hair and white faces, chattered to each other as they vaulted.
Swinging effortlessly from bent, shaking, leaf laden branch
to branch, then tree to tree. Their cacophonous high pitched
screams breaking the stillness of the day. Sporadically one
of the primates would interrupt their journey, momentarily,
to eagerly snatch an apple or pear from a nearby fruit tree.
Each would pause in flight only long enough to take a few bites
of the succulent edible pulpy mass. Then flippantly discarding
fruit to the ground, and hastening to continue on in their pell-mell
trek. The monkey's brown eyes sparkling with enthusiasm and
mischief.
Small bands of colorful miniature horses, systematically grazing
upon the abundant sweet pink and yellow clover, interwoven within
the green-blue grass were temporarily disturbed under the vibrating
trees. Occasionally an equine would break ranks, and with head
high and mane flying askew, trot swiftly along the path. Abruptly
slowing the course of their gait, bent quickly, to scoop up
the tossed off fruit between strong teeth. Then, while chewing
heartily, fruit juice running down their chin, they continued
on at a gallop to catch up with the migrating pack.
