Author's Note: I wrote this, well...I don't really know why. It doesn't really have a meaning to the point -- but it's supposed to symbolize something. I hope you like it.
For as long as I can remember, Lily always wanted a turtle. Every day, before bed, she would ask her parents for one. Ever since their pet dog ran away, she wanted to fill the hole in her heart with a turtle. But her parents always said no, telling her that she would never get a turtle. After about a month of asking, her parents finally considered it. One afternoon they took Lily to the pet store, so she could look at the turtles. While looking around, Lily saw a Komodo dragon. This got her attention. After leaving the pet store, the whole drive home she started talking less and less about the turtle, and more and more about the Komodo dragon. From this day on, she asked every night for a Komodo dragon, instead of that turtle. Once again, after enough begging, her parents took her to the pet store to buy the Komodo dragon. To Lily's disappointment, they were not the only family walking through the doors. A little girl, dressed up in a Tinker Bell costume was holding cage, a cage that held a Komodo dragon. Lily ran to the section where they would be, but she was too late. That little girl got the last Komodo dragon. So Lily walked back to the turtles, and looked at them. She stood there for hours watching them play, and finally turned to her daddy, and said "I want this one, I'm positive".
