A Magic Wand for Christmas



A Magic Wand for Christmas

   Daddy said, “Lucy, here's your Christmas present from Grandpa.” Lucy tore the blue and white wrapping paper off of her gift and opened the box.  It was a purple fairy costume with a magic wand.
   “Thank you, grandpa,” Lucy said and gave her favorite grandfather a big hug.
   “Try it on, Lucy, but be careful with the magic wand. It’s real.”      
   Lucy ran to her room. When she came back to the living room, she was a pretty fairy.
   She waved her wand at the Christmas tree and said, “Abba cadabra, go on.” The Christmas tree lights came on. “Abba cadabra, go off.” The Christmas tree lights turned off. Lucy liked the pretty lights, so she waved her magic wand and said, Abba cadabra, lights on.” The red and green and yellow and blue lights turned on.
   Lucy had four gold coins. She waved her magic wand and “Abba cadabra, you are candy.”
    Daddy picked up a coin and said, “Wow, this is chocolate.”  He gave Lucy a chocolate coin. Lucy took a big bite of the sweet candy. Lucy loves chocolate, so she ate the other chocolate coins too.
   Now Lucy wanted Grandpa to chase her, so she said, “You can’t catch me,” and ran down the hall.  Grandpa roared and ran after her.
   She waved her magic wand and said, “Abba cadabra, freeze.” Grandpa froze, with his arms out to grab her. She laughed and ran behind him. “Abba cadabra, unfreeze.” He whirled around and chased her again. “Abba cadabra, freeze.” Grandpa froze again while Lucy ran into the living room.
   Mommy and Daddy were kissing under the mistletoe. Lucy liked Daddy kissing Mommy, so she waved her magic wand and said, “Abba cadabra, freeze.”  They kept kissing, and kissing, and kissing.
   Lucy said “Abba cadabra, unfreeze,” and waved her magic wand. They stopped kissing.
   Mommy said, “Lucy, it’s silly to freeze people. Why don’t you play with your new doll?”  Lucy put down her magic wand, picked up her baby doll and sat on the rocking chair.  She pretended to rock the baby to sleep.
   Daddy asked, “Why is there a statue of grandpa in the hallway? Lucy, did you freeze Grandpa with your magic wand?”  Lucy nodded her head and laughed. “Unfreeze Grandpa right now.”
   But Lucy couldn’t find her magic wand. She forgot where she put it. 
  So she said, “I lost my wand.”
“Oh, no,” cried Daddy, “Grandpa is still frozen. We must find it or you can’t unfreeze him.”
  They looked under the Christmas tree. Lucy found a sticky candy cane, but no wand. They looked under the couch but only found an old smelly shoe.
   Daddy asked, “Oh where oh where could it be?” They walked past Grandpa, who was still frozen, and looked in her room. She looked in her closet and found her old pink blanket. Daddy looked on the shelf and found an old cookie, but no magic wand.
They went past Grandpa again and into the dining room. Daddy tripped on something.
   Lucy said, “There it is. I found it.”
   Daddy said, “No, I found it. You lost it.”
   She said, “I found it.”
   “No, I found it.”
   Mommy said, “Lucy, unfreeze Grandpa right now.”
   Lucy waved her magic wand at her grandpa and said, “Abba cadabra, unfreeze.”  Grandpa quickly grabbed Lucy and gave her a real big tickle.
   He said, “You’re a silly little girl.”
  “No, you’re a silly grandpa.”

The End
