Lily said, "I don't want to take nap. I'm not five years old!" and she threw herself toward the floor. Before she reached the floor she was on a street corner. The street sign was charming, but she couldn't figure out why. Along came a girl her age. Lily felt that to be her friend would be the most fun thing in the world. She loved everything about her: her nose, her red, ringleted hair, her dirty knees.

"Excuse me," Lily called. The girl stopped. Was she glowing with a sense of fun and mischief, or was that Lily's imagination? "Can you please tell me where I am? I seem to be lost."

"Oh sure, you're on the corner of Vineyard Lane and Plexiglass Place."

"May I stay with you?" Lily asked.

"I'm so glad you want to! Want to go visit some puppy Boxer dogs with me?"

They walked together, holding hands.

At the next corner, a pumpkin-colored cat said, "Hello Lily, hello Frankie."

"Ponder!" Frankie said, scratching Ponder behind the ears.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your journey," said the cat, "but I have to ask you a question, Lily."

It was the most beautiful cat Lily had ever seen.

"You want to ask--me? A question?"

"Yes please," said Ponder. It is so lovely having you here. But Ihave to be quick. Your "nap" is about to end; your mother is on her way to wake you up."

"My mother?"

"Sorry to hurry you. Do you want to stay here with us longer? If you do, your family will worry. They will worry very much. But you'll get to stay here. Or you can go back to earth in the next few seconds."

Lily looked at Frankie, back at Ponder, back at Frankie.

"I have to go back," Lily said.

Frankie kissed her on the cheek. "Good choice. I hope I see you again."

Lily's mother shook her and said, "Silly Lily, you fell asleep on the floor!"

Lily said, "Mom, I don't think I was asleep."
