This book is dedicated to…

The best book buddy ever!

Once upon a time there was a little fairy named Jasmine.

Jasmine was a curious fairy who loved to pick all kinds of flowers.

One day when she was skipping happily looking for a patch of flowers to pick she came to a field of

jellybeans.

Jasmine loved jellybeans so she crammed as many jelly beans in her pocket as she could.

When her pocket was filled it started to get dark so she headed back home through the woods eating her jelly

beans. What she didn’t know was when she ate a jelly bean she turned that color.

As it got darker it got scarier. When Jasmine was walking home she came to what she thought was a tiger with big scary teeth that glowed bright white

every time it opened it’s mouth.

Jasmine was so scared she hid. She was also hungry because it was way past her supper time so she ate her jelly beans and kept turning colors without knowing. The tiger saw her and got ready to pounce she started to panic and without knowing ate a green jelly bean. The tiger didn’t pounce it just walked away.

Jasmine was shocked on what had happened. Then she saw her hands and

they were green. Looking at one of her

hands she stuck the other one on her pocket and ate a pink jelly bean. All of a

sudden her hand turned pink. That’s when

Jasmine saw it wasn’t only her hands that were pink, her whole body was pink

and it was because of her

jelly beans.

Just then she heard a little growl so jasmine ran out of the forest and over to the beach. She was about to swim across

but she used her wings and flew across the ocean and way up high in the sky.

Jasmine was flying in the sky when a dragon came and swooped towards her. She dived out of the way and lost most

of her jelly beans.

The dragon blew fire and almost hit Jasmine. Jasmine screamed and reached into her pocket for a blue jelly bean to

turn blue and look like the sky but…

SHE DIDN’T HAVE ANY BLUE JELLY BEANS! So she ate a green but that didn’t help! The dragon was still trying to

get her. Jasmine was so scared she started to cry.

But then the tears went away and she heard a sound. She dropped to the ground and her wings were gone. The sound got louder. BEEP! BEEP!

BEEP! Is all she heard.

The sound was her alarm clock. It was all, a dream.
