sunny side up

once upon a time, there was a little girl. she lived in a hole in her garden. the hole was dark and full of dirt, as holes usually are, and though sometimes she was visited by a friendly earthworm, she was not content. she was determined to see what was outside of her earthy prison. with quite a bit of effort, the girl climbed up up and up, until, finally she was out! the sun smiled down on her and she spun around in circles on the grass. she was happy
after a little while, she grew tired and lay down next to the hole, which was in her garden. she heard a small voice coming from the hole. "who can it be?" she thought aloud. "it's me!" said the hole, a little shocked that the girl had failed to come up with this answer on her own. in her curiosity, the girl peered over the side. she could see nothing but darkness. she had always had a soft spot for darkness. it was mysterious and intriguing. the little girl stepped close to the edge and thought "it really was not so bad down there. maybe i could go back, just for a visit." down down she fell, straight from whence she came. she is trying very very hard to get out again. into the sunshine.
