Prompt #03: Candy Canes
{199 words}
An idea had hit thirteen year old Aryan while he was out on the Reserve, traipsing among the dragon enclosures, hippogriff enclosures and the little paddock where Artax roamed. He could send little bundles of sweets to Bry, Drake and Gilly! His eyes had lit up as though there had been a literal lightbulb igniting above him.
“I’ll be back soon, Artax!’’ he called, waving to his Mooncalf before dashing as quickly as his legs would take him towards the house. Ary hurried to the kitchen. He had seen them only recently… no doubt his daddy had gotten them during a mad raid of the Muggle sweetshops. There was enough to hand out to every kid in the worl- aha! There they were!
Standing on a stepping stool, the rummaging he had been doing through the cupboards came to a halt. Wow. Dad Adi sure wasted no time collecting all these candy canes of different colours. Ary set to work: three bundles of candy canes comprised of two canes of each colour. There were about twelve canes in each bundle, which were then tied with red and green ribbons.
The perfect treat {the first of many} for his friends! |
