The Harp

Written By: Emerson

Hello. This is the story of how I became the happiest boy ever. for one thing Im named
Hunter. My parents had disappeared a Few years ago and had given me a medallion to
remember them. I am a skinny, red headed boy with scraggly hair. They Had not told
me where they were going but I did have an idea. It all began on Sept. 9th 1989. When I
wandered into a plant store To buy some seeds to feed to the birds.

NEXT!!shouted the store clerk And I went up and payed for my seeds. Will that be
all for you today? The clerk askedyes, thank you. I answered.Oh trying to get a sale
are we?the clerks smile went away when I saidWhat are you talking about? Oh
trying to act out of it our we? you know the law. Steal and go to jail, or pay the right
price and be Free. The clerk snickered as two guards were coming up from behind her.
Suddenly, the guards came half running half walking toward me and I quickly
Answered Ill just be going now. Um here are your seeds back.And I put the seeds
back on the table and strode out the door.

When I was far enough from the plant store and the Statue Of Liberty was in sight
I heard the faint sound of a harp. A homeless man sitting against a building was
fiddling with a rope. He was very old and wrinkly and there was a lunch box next to
him along with a old black cat. I went up to him and as politely as possible and
asked Do you hear that harps music? But all he did was look at me like I was crazy
and blew his nose into his sleeve. I backed away from him and looked up at the Statue
Of Liberty and since I have incredible eyesight, I saw it. The most beautifully crafted
harp Ive ever Seen.

When I saw the harp I think my heart skipped a beat. My father told me the legend of
the harp when I was only seven and he said this: Legend has it that the harp grants
four wishes and they all have to start with the letter of which wish they are on. Which
of course at first didn't make sense but he's pretty much saying that you have four
wishes and in the end, the first letter of each wish must spell out the word H.A.R.P. for
example: My first wish would be to have a pet H.ORSE. My second wish would be to
have an A.LLY. My third wish would be to R.UN the state. My fourth and final wish
would be to have P.ARENTS. so that is how the wishes work, now time to get them
 I walked toward the statue of liberty and whispered under my breath I wish the
enchanted forest was real. Suddenly I heard a voice Maybe it can be. And before I
knew what was happening, the world started to spin. It spun faster and faster and then
the everything became still again. Once I opened my eyes I thought I was in the middle
of nowhere , But then I realized what I said and what the other voice said. I wish the
enchanted forest was real. Maybe it can be. Then I realized where I must be: THE
ue I thought Its really true.
ENCHANTED FOREST. Suddenly I heard a bark
behind me. I looked back and saw a brown and white dog sitting and staring at me with
his big green eyes. Are my wishes coming true? Is this my ally? I thought to myself
I think Ill call you scooby. I said aloud. But scooby just cocked his head to the side. I
must've traveled the world! I shouted happily.

When me and scooby were walking toward the harps music to find it, I was focusing so
much on my dad's and now my compass that when I looked up I saw a big bright blue
waterfall with a big beautiful black and white horse standing next to it. Again with
the wishes. they are coming true! I thought to myself as scooby, moolan(that's what I
decided to call my horse since she looks like a cow.) and I continued on the quest to
find The Harp.

Bark Bark! Said Scooby as the sun was setting. Scooby. I said as I was looking up
from my compass. I don't have time for- oh. and there it was- The. Harp. We found
it! We found it! We found it! We found it! Oh i'm so happy!!! Well be RICH!!!!! so I
grabbed the harp and scooby and jumped on moolan and whispered I wish to go
home. A voice responded as you wish And I closed my eyes and held on tight as I
could. When the world was still again, I opened my eyes. I was in the middle in the
road with all my things and I raced down the street to the bank.

BANG! I slammed the harp onto the counter of the front desk of the bank. I
would like to turn this in. I panted. name please? the teller asked. Hunter. I
told her. Hunter Aaron. she typed my name in and took the harp to the back and
a few minutes later, she came back with the biggest platinum, diamond, gold,
silver, and bronze stacks. Oh my. I exclaimed. thats a lot, by the way, do you
have any more? I teased. the teller responded Well
