Chapter 4

 Birthday Presents

One sunny day Lizzie and Randy were visiting Bevy, Billy

and Baby Annie.  They were all sitting under a willow tree,

babysitting Baby Annie and talking.

Bevy said "I am so happy Shay found Baby Annie for us the

other day.  All of us were really worried."

"Yes," said Billy.  "Shay has helped us out a lot.   When our

lodge was damaged, Shay's imagination talked to the moon

and to the wind.  And when a big tree fell over the hole where

we were hiding, she dug us out.  Now when Baby Annie was

lost, she found her for us."

"I think we should do something special for Shay," continued

Bevy.  "How about if we all give her Imagination Birthday

presents?"

All thought that was a good idea and Lizzie went over to

Shay's place to invite her over.

Billy began by saying "my imagination present for Shay is

a big water slide, so high it reaches to the clouds.  Shay is

inviting all her school friends and beaver friends to join her

for the fun ride.  A little white cloud is coming down to pick

them all up and take them to the top of the slide in the clouds.

All the people are amazed to see a water slide that reaches

all the way up to the clouds."

Bevy told them her imagination present for Shay was a 

gigantic swing that starts from way up high and swings from one

side of the sky to the other side.  All of the birds flying in the

air have to get out of her way quickly because she is going

really fast.  And when she gets to the very top on each side,

she reaches out and touches a star.  She can't take her beaver

friends on the swing with her because it is too scary for them.

But she does take them on a very low swing just above the

ground.

Randy told everybody his imagination present for Shay was

a big cloud house.  A cloud house is like a tree house, only

instead of being on a tree, it is on a cloud. A little white

cloud was the elevator that brought all her friends up to

visit her in the cloud house.  Her friends brought along snacks

to eat and even stayed for a sleep-over.  All the people

looked up and couldn't believe they were seeing a cloud

house.

Lizzie told them her imagination present for Shay was a big

birthday party at Beaver Flower Gardens.  All her friends are

invited and they all bring her lots of birthday presents.  When

they are finished eating the birthday cake, they all play fun

games in the garden.  When the birthday party is over, they

all fly home on a magic carpet.

Baby Annie said "I don't know a story but my 'magination

present for Shay is lots of hugs and kisses."

Shay was very impressed by all the Imagination Birthday

presents. 

"These are the best imagination presents I ever had," said

Shay.  "Thank you very, very much."

That day Shay went home and in her sleep she dreamed of all

the fun things she did in the beaver's imaginations.
