“One night I was sitting up in my bed and fell asleep. I had a dream I was dressed in candy wrappers black pink and white I randomly look right and saw a clock with cake and pie time it was strawberry pie O’clock in the morning I strait away new it was 5 am I walked down a strawberry chocolate road. I looked up at the sun, it was made of orange and yellow lolly pops. I look straight ahead in the distance, I saw Jelly like things jumping around.
Some time later.
I’m in the town and there is jellies everywhere in all shapes and sizes I felt like eating them so I went over to a lonely pram and there was a baby jelly in it I picked it up and ran away into a sound proof trash bin the baby Jelly is green on the outside and red on the inside the green was so squishy it popped the open everywhere and then I ate it, Yummy it is so good. A few minutes later there were guards outside the jelly bin with real swords. I ran as fast as I could to get out of the town. After I left the town they left me alone.

I hid in to the long lime grass to get changed I have a candy cane walking stick I cut the stem of a mushroom lolly to make a hat and blue geans made of toffy glue and blue lolly rappers and pink marshmallow two make a shirt. I walk toward Jelly pop town again like I am a new person coming to stay. I am walking past buildings and jelly windows and see them eating popping candy to make them jump around the town. I went inside one of their houses and sat down to eat some popping candy I asked can I have some popping candy please they did bobbly jelly voices so I cannot understand it so I ate some any way I left once we ate it all the popping candy. I shut the door and heard a Jelly say “bood by” I think he said good bye.

It was becoming night time there was a garbage jelly bin so I thought I might sleep there for the night one of the jellies came out side with a garbage bag it looked at me and said “bwy brue cleebing dere” I think he said why you sleeping out here I replied because I don’t have any were else to sleep he wanted me to come inside so I can get some sleep that night I was snug as a bug in a rug and I the morning I woke up and walked outside. IT WAS REAL….
