 * **Intro **

Today we’re going to hear the story of three friends, Sandy, Bobby and Dewey, who didn’t think that they were quite good enough.

They go off on an adventure to try to improve themselves, but were the answers they were looking for inside them all along?

Let’s find out together, as we listen to this story, “The Naming Grounds”! || <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Alannna/Harmony Haven || <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">NM 234 <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Track 7 <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Perfectville

 * **<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Part 1 **<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In a place we cannot see, there lived the magic friends three: Sandy, Bobby and Dewey.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sandy, a mermaid with a twin fin tail, is afraid of water and cries and wails.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Bobby is a ninja; they are usually quiet and quick. But with most every step Bobby trips.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dewey is a pixie with wings of light. Too bad for Dewey that he is afraid of heights.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Together they thought they knew what they would do. They would go to the Naming Grounds and become someone new.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I’ll swim!” sang Sandy.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I’ll be quiet!” boasted Bobby.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I’ll do loop-de-loops!” decided Dewey.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">So off they went, through the trees, each determined to be who they meant to be.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Surrounded by trees, they saw a shack. And in that shack they heard things rattle and clack…

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Welcome! Welcome!” shouted a man. “Come buy a name, if that is your plan!”

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dewey and Sandy and Bobby all bought a name from the stall. The names glistened and shone. They rattled and clacked. Dewey’s was so heavy that he fell on his back.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Bobby, the ninja, was louder than ever. Sandy wondered if she would swim now and thought, ‘No, never’.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Is this all?” the children asked. “Is this all?” they cried. “Try the Old Naming Grounds” yelled the shop-keep, “If you’re not satisfied!”

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">So off they went, through the trees, each determined to be who they meant to be.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">They came to a lake, which they had to cross. There was a boat but no oars, was all hope lost?

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sandy shivered and shook. She cried and she quaked. Sandy decided to pull her friends across the lake.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">With eyes squeezed shut Sandy towed them all the way. Dewey and Bobby cheered for her, “Hurray!”

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">On the island, the Old Naming Grounds, the three friends stopped. They looked around.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">A sign by a cave told them which way to go. Holding hands the friends cried, “GER-ON-I-MO!”

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">A sign by a dragon told them to get the key and be on their way. ‘But don’t wake the dragon, or else you will pay!’

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Bobby gulped, nodded and looked all around. He watched his feet and did not make a sound.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The friends all breathed a sigh of relief. They were glad to be away from the dragon and his very sharp teeth.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">High on a wall there was a door, but no ladder. Dewey gulped and tried to control his bladder.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I’ll do it” he said. “I have to, I must! I won’t look down! I’ll get us new names or bust!”

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dewey gulped and he shook and he flew way up high. He never looked down and was glad he did not die.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Opening the door he pushed a ladder down. His friends climbed to join him at the heart of the Old Naming Grounds.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In a room sat a man and the three friends told him their plan. “New names?” he asked. “Whatever for? If you needed new ones how did you get through my door?”

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I’m afraid to fly” said Dewey. “I’m scared to swim” Sandy said. “As a ninja, momma says I’m louder than a monkey in a trash bin” sighed Bobby.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“But //you// flew and //you// swam and //you// were quieter than a baby lamb! If you had not fought your fears you surely would not have made it here!”

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sandy and Bobby and Dewey all smiled as they realized their work had been worthwhile.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Down the ladder, around the dragon and across the lake, the three friends realized their names were just great.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">So off they went through the trees, each knowing they were who they were meant to be. || <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Alanna/Harmony Haven
