I miss this.

Once upon a time there was a boy named Aaron. He was well loved in his community and always worked hard. One day he was at work, (oh how silly of me I forgot to tell you what his job was!) he was working at a farm.

This farm was unlike all the other farms. It's ground was covered in ice instead of grass and snow blowers were used instead of lawnmowers. You wouldn't normally think a farm would be covered in ice but what you don't know is that on this very farm penguins were raised. Now, these penguins were not your average penguins, they were fed the same food and they were genetically identical to all the other penguins across the world. The only difference was that these penguins were raised on love and because of that they could speak and express emotions. Every day Aaron would go out and brush the penguins hair and kiss their heads 5 times each.

One day while Aaron was doing his work he found a little penguin named gizmo crying. Aaron approached the penguin as quietly as he could without startling him. He whispered in Gizmo's ear "Hello pengee why are you so sad?" Gizmo responded with "I'm sad because today while I was walking home I lost my favorite toy." Aaron knew what toy he was talking about as soon as she said it. "You mean your dolly?", "yes" said Gizmo. Gizmo's dolly was her favorite toy. It had long red hair and she wore a bright blue dress with black polka dots with a pretty pink ribbon tied in her hair.

Gizmo needed help and because Aaron was so helpful he knew right away that he was the boy to help her out. Aaron put on his snowshoes and hiked back with Gizmo to help find her dolly. On the way he noticed a little girl shivering in the snow. He called out to her and she didn't answer. Aaron walked over to the girl and picked her up. She was very cold and had icicles on her nosey. "Hello, My name is Aaron and I work on a Penguin farm. I know how to take care of cold people, why don't you wear my jacket and help me find my little friends dolly? After I'll take you back to my cabin and we can have some hot chocolate and bananas" the little girl responded with a warm smile and told Aaron her name was Tracey.

As the day went on Tracey, Aaron(who was now getting very cold) and Gizmo walked and walked and walked and they could not find the dolly anywhere! Just as soon as they were about to give up they noticed a large sign sitting in the snow. It read "If you wish hard enough for something you've lost. We might be able to find it."

Tracey and Aaron looked at each other and didn't really know how to react. Tracey said to Aaron "Wow, that's a silly sign to place in the snow...it doesn't even make sense. Let's go check it out." So Tracey and Aaron pick up Gizmo and walk to the snowbank that this sign it on. As they get closer they notice that the sign seems to have a door nob on it. They walked to the door and found a little post-it note stuck next to the doorbell. "Knock three times and place 5 of your fingers on the door."

Gizmo started to cry again and Aaron got worried. "Don't worry Gizmo..we will find your dolly". "It's not that" he said, "...I don't have fingers!! :(:(:(." Aaron and Tracey looked around and started to worry that they just may not be able to get into this snow house. Gizmo yelled and told them to look closer at the note.

"Don't worry, if you are a penguin you can come in"

"Thank god!" said Tracey. They placed their fingers on the door and it disappeared. Inside was a maze of tunnels all leading to difference places. Aaron started to look around for a map and he couldnt find anything. They didn't want to split up because they could get lost.

Gizmo and Aaron and Tracey decided to take the right path in the cave. After walking for a long time, Gizmo said that her feet hurt and that she couldn't walk any further. Aaron picked her up and carried her for the next little bit until they got to another junction.

It was filled with the most beautiful stalactites and stalagmites all around. They were almost like crystals. They were very very very pretty. Everyone felt very happy seeing these things.

Gizmo was very curious so she hopped down out of Aaron's arms and ran over to the wall. There was a drawing on the wall of many people holding hands. It was a very happy drawing and it looked like it was done by a child using crayons.

Gizmo suddenly remembered that she drew this drawing when and that it was where she had lost her dolly! Everyone was very happy that they had figured out they were going in the right direction.

Tracey and Aaron and Gizmo held hands and started to walk further into the cave. When they got to the end of the cave passage they found Gizmo's dolly! She was having a tea party with some friends!! She said goodbye to her cave friends, who were also dollies, and the four started to leave the cave.

Gizmo went back with the other penguins to play penguin games while Aaron and Tracey sat down for some hot cocoa in front of a nice warm fire wrapped up in a big ol' blankie
