Adventure in the Gumdrop Rain

I have never seen gumdrops coming down, I thought. It was a miracle, gumdrops rain! Everybody went out to play, except for one gingerbread man. His name was Oskar Jr.

I went to play with him to try to get him outside, but he didn’t like rain, even the sweet kind like today. We played mini golf. He was the best at it and won every time! Once the it stopped raining we climbed Frost Everest with our ski poles. We got so tired we fell down and caused an avalanche. We fell down the mountain. Soon when we were buried under the frost, a rescue dog came with its owner. They found us! ”Thank you! We almost didn’t make it, you are our heroes!” They all went home and they all had good sweet steaming chocolate. They played with the dog. He was really friendly. “How much would it cost to buy the dog?”, asked Oskar Jr. “What kind of dog is this?” my friend asked. “A German shepherd”, answered our rescuer. “They are very playful, but this dog is not for sale. He is used for rescue operations”, he added.

That night, as I closed my eyes, I thought about that special day. Gumdrop rain, an avalanche, a rescue mission and playing with our heroes. I sure wished I could have a dog like that.
