Wonder Marlee Had A Peaceful Place

Wonder Marlee was sitting on her favorite rock thinking. It was so pretty here. There were lots of trees with green leaves and a pretty little stream of cold water.
All she could hear were the birds singing their pretty songs, and the lapping of water that slipped over the rocks in the stream. Not very many people knew about this place. Wonder Marlee called it "Her Peaceful Place." She usually came here to think, and rest between rescues of people that had been in trouble. It seemed like lately she had had to rescue a lot of folks but her family was the worst! "Oh, that Marlee and Stashia, she thought. It seems like I can't even have a day off without them getting into trouble."

She put her fingers in the ice cold water and frowned. Frowning wasn't something that she did very often. She was tired. She was tired of being afraid for Marlee and all the other people that always seemed to be in trouble.
Wonder Marlee looked very young, but she really was quite old. She even knew Grandma Lu when she had needed rescued years ago. She was always in trouble there for a few years. "I'm so glad she got old and settled down nowadays," she thought. She was a friend of Grandma B's. She could remember when Grandma B helped Grandma Lu when she was sick years ago. "Grandma B is a good friend", she thought.
"I have it! she said out loud. I am going to change my name. I think I am going to be Cute Carlee from now on. When people need rescuing they can just call somebody else. I am officially on vacation."
 "Little did she know, but Grandma B and Marlee and her mama and daddy had decided to come to her secret place to go treasure hunting. Marlee was looking for an adventure. Oh, oh, things could go terribly wrong.
The new Cute Carlee woke up to the sound of screaming and splashing water. She instantly went into Wonder Marlee mode. She was ready to rescue someone without even being called. Her eyes opened up big. She couldn't believe her eyes, it was Marlee!! "I haven't been on vacation for an hour and there she is in trouble again! Wonder Marlee started to go help, but she was not needed. Yes, Marlee was in the water, but she wasn't alone. Her mama took Marlee's hand and helped her walk in the water.
"Whew, thought Wonder Marlee, that was a close one. I guess I don't have to worry all the time do I? That's why Marlee has her family. They will take care of her and protect her. I can go on vacation after all."
 And away she went way up high into the clouds for some well needed rest and relaxation.
Green Springs is where Marlee and her family went to look for Marlee's treasures. It was a peaceful place indeed.
