Marlee didn't have a clue what a "vention" was and she didn't know what a beach was, but it sounded very interesting. She stayed out of sight and listened to B talk to herself.
"I just don't think it would be so hard to make something that I could use to get out of here and go swimming."
" A beach is sandy place by a big big lake. It's called an ocean. Don't worry about it, I'm going to stay here and play with you today. How's that sound?"
Marlee was all happy again, but did talk to her friend Stashia about 'ventions.
Since Stashia was older she knew about inventions. She told Marlee that when humans have a special idea that nobody else has thought of they go to work and make something that everybody can use and like.
The next day Grandma B showed Marlee a bubble machine that her friend had gotten Marlee. "Oh boy, the start of my 'vention", she thought. Stashia wandered around and around thinking, "Oh, dear, here she goes, she is going to do something that I won't like. I just know it!"
Sure enough, Marlee didn't pay any attention to what her daddy or mama or Grandma B said, she just waved her arms trying to get her 'vention to work so she could go high in the sky.
Do you think Marlee's 'vention got her high up in the sky?
Don't think it worked. But I'm looking forward to the next story to see if it did?
