Park Rescue: A Story by Caleb Hareb

At a point in time, there was a boy named John. This boy was just like any other boy. The only deferent’s was he was totally obsessed with this one park. John was not crazy it was just that he looked at things in different ways; he looked at the playground as a castle; he imagined the slides as gates to the castle, which only the noblest could get through, and the slides, he glared at them as if they were dragons. John loved this park and he wished that others would love the park and respect it as much as he did.

One day when John was walking to the park he noticed a sign it read “CLOSING,” John was trying to figure out what it meet but couldn’t so he went to the park manager. “Mr. Manager what does this sign mean?”
“Well John, business is not running well these days so I decided to close the park down.”
“Why? I love this place. It’s like my home.” Mr. Manager emotion had just then changed and then he yelled at John.
“Well this is my park so I can do what I want! Now go home!”

John walked away sadly, “Mission failed,” he muttered sadly to himself. “Wait a second,” the Manager of the park yelled, “There is one thing you can do. At one point I used to own an egg. It was one made of gold and it was about half a foot tall. If you can find this egg the park is yours. OK?”
“OK!”

John wondered what he had to do to golden egg. John walked home half disappointed, because he had no idea where the egg was and half excited because he did have a chance of saving the park. While he was walking home he saw a sign that caught his eye it read: This is YOUR Chance to Win a Trip to FLORIDA (just pay 500$ per person). It was just an advertisement it meant nothing to John so he just kept walking, but little did he know that it was his first clue to save the park!

When John got home his mom said something that surprised him, “John guess what? We’re going to Florida!”
“But mom, I don’t want to go! I have more important things to do in life, for example, saving a park!”
“John, John, John. That is much too big of a job for a boy like you; you’re not even eight yet.”
“Come I turn eight next month.”
“No, You are coming with me, if you like it or not.”
“Fine, I’ll go!”

As they were on an airplane to Florida, John’s mom asks if John would like to visit Disney-World. In answer of this question John said OK and once they were on the plane they headed straight to Disney-World. When they arrived at Disney-World the closing parade had just started; floats with Disney characters glided across the ground and people dressed in costumes danced across the floor throwing sticks in the air. Then the last float came with Mickey-Mouse and Minnie-Mouse standing on the front of it dancing. Then John spotted his first real clue it was located on the back of the float, and it was the egg, at least John thought it was.

“Hey Mickey-Mouse can I have the egg located on the back of your float?!” John yelled trying to make his voice reach the float. In return of this question Mickey-Mouse just smiled and waved. “Wait no, don’t leave!” John yelled. In return of this command the float just kept on moving forward, so John dashed through the crowd and followed the float behind the door that said employs only.
“Hey kid,” said Mickey-Mouse as he took off his head, “What…?”
“Ahhh! What have you done with Mickey-Mouse, you took off his head!”
“Kid it OK Mickey-Mouse is over here see?” Pointing to a picture of Micky-Mouse.
“No I don’t see him, but can I have the Golden-Egg that’s on your float?”
“This egg rights here OK, here sure, just don’t tell anyone about what you have just seen, OK?
“OK”

As John walked out the door his mom rushed towards him. “John, we are leaving this second, you better not get into any more trouble!” As they were on the air plane home John looked at the egg and noticed a note that read: I am sorry this is not the real golden egg, the real egg is located in Africa the city of Johanesburg but to reach the egg there will be many obstacles and challenges! John had just received his second clue but the question was how would he get to the place that the letter had described?

John stared at the letter for a while wondering how on earth could he get to Johannesburg, he didn’t know where it was even located! John needed time to think so on the way home he sat in his chair and thought, then the plane landed and John was home. As John walked into his house and an idea came to him, but it just took time, so John walked to the park that he dearly loved and saw Mr. Manager. “Hey, Mr. Manager I was Wondering…”
“John it’s such a surprised to see you, I thought you would be off looking for the Golden-Egg.”

“Well, you’re not wrong I’ve been looking for that Golden-Egg for a long time and I still can’t find it!”
“So why did you come here?”
“Well I was wondering, how much time I had to find and bring back the Golden-Egg?”
“Well John I’ll give you three months. Is that enough time?”
“It sure is, Thanks!”

As John leafed Mr. Manager muttered to himself something to himself he muttered to himself this and slowly began to transform into a monster, “That boy John is so annoying, here at least I will have some alone time. I also cannot believe he is so gullible; and the Golden-Egg; there is nothing on earth called the Golden-Egg; and just to make sure he does not come back I’ll send a few of my homeys to stop him. Did you hear that guys? Go get that John boy and also make sure he does not return from his pathetic, fake mission! Now go!” Then suddenly after Mr. Manager had said this, the park flipped over, turned into a big base looking object and then Five-Hooded-Figures leaped out from the base and started to follow John’s footsteps!

As this event had occurred John was walking home having no idea that the evil Mr. Manager had sent the Five-Hooded-Figures known as: The Shades; to capture John and make sure he did not return from his mission, so he was walking home skipping knowing that he had three months to return the Golden-Egg. When John got home he saw his mom crying.
“Mom what is wrong?”

“Well John I was wondering if you knew that I loved you, I mean, well I sometimes I get mad at you and I think after I get mad at you that you don’t know I love you.”
“Mom, I know you love me, I mean a mom that loved me would take me to Florida, and you took me to Florida!”
“Yes I did but you didn’t want to go there.”
“Yes but I still had fun!”
“Well next time I’ll let you decide where we travel to.”
“OK.”John thought about what his mom had said about his getting to chose where they travel to next and suddenly words came out of his mouth, “Can we go to Africa?”

"John you really want to go to Africa?"
"Yes." “Well, it seems like you want to go there, but why and if we do go to Africa which part of Africa would you like to visit?” “I would like to visit Johanesburg,Africa." “Hey that’s where a few relatives live. Is that the reason you wanted to go there?”John thought about what he should say to his mom and then said, “Yes!”
His mom finally said they could go visit Johanesburg, Africa and that they could stay there for one-month. As they were on their second plane to Africa the Shades had finally followed John’s steps and had reached his house, then the leader of the Shades spoke, “You heard our master find that boy John and make sure he does not return to our base! Now go get that boy John and bring him to the base where he will be killed!” After the leader of the shades spoke the five shades leaped into the air and smashed through the window of John’s house in search of John. “Where is that boy?” one of the shades yelled,“He is supposed to be here!”
“Well you fool, he’s not! So where is he?” The leader of the shades said sarcastically. “Uh?” “He is in Johanesburg, Africa! Now for our master he’s been waiting for that boy’s death for more than a long time, he has been waiting three years. He’s been planned this mission for us for a long time and we will not fail him. That decoy egg that our master put up, said that the egg was located in Johanesburg, Africa. So that is where the boy is of course! Now let’s go!” After the leader shade said that the five shades sprouted devil looking wings and flew in the direction of Africa.
The plane that John was taking to Johanesburg, Africa had just landed on a dusty road in a small village on a plateau that had somehow been transformed into an airplane platform. John was walking outside of the plain and a colored sign caught his eye the bold words read MISSING GIRL SARA: AGE SEVEN, REWARD. The sign was also followed by a picture of a brown hair girl with light skin that was supposedly the girl from the sign, Sara.

Back at the Park-Base the evil Mr. Manager had taken a captive it was the girl from the sign, Sara! “Let me go you evil monster I don’t even know why I’m here!”
“Think, you’re my bait that boy John has learned to much, so when that boy John gets to Africa and see all the signs put up for a lost girl called Sara and when he discovers that I have captured you then he’s bound to come looking for you, and when he come I’ll kill him!” "Your Such a monster!"
“That’s just the way I am now shut-up!”

Stay tuned for more adventures with John.
P.S. I don't use the word "shut-up" in real life.
