Jenny and the Magic Clown

"Do you believe in magic?" said the clown. "What’s magic?" said the little girl. Magic is when good things happen and you don’t know why. "Oh! Then I guess I do." she said. "Well, listen very carefully,"said the clown, "for what I am going to tell you about is magic…real magic.

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Jenny. She was really bright and full of life. One day she was playing with her sister, when all of a sudden she fell and hit her head. "Ow!! that hurt." she said, and then she felt her Mom picking her up and she felt scared and kind of funny feeling and ….then….When she woke up she felt sore and tired, but after a while she was back to her usual self. All she could remember was just her Mom holding her in her arms and how good that felt. Well, a little while later when Mom was going out she felt that funny feeling again, and she felt bad afterwards just like before.

Then, and this is the magic part, one night while she was asleep she had a dream. You know dreams are like magic – they can fix scary things really quickly. So in this dream, Jenny was looking down from a high place way up in the sky on a big white fluffy cloud. And way down below she could see a movie just like on TV. Guess who was in the movie – it was Jenny, she was the star! She could see herself falling and bumping her head, and she could see her Mom pick her up and hold her in her arms. And the she could see all the other times that the same thing had happened. It was really neat to be able to see that. Then, she heard a voice "It’s OK Jenny", said the voice "you can see that your Mom really loves you and even when she is away from you down there you can see she loves you. Because Mom’s always love their children, even when they are away"

"And just let yourself float, now all the way back as far as you need to so you can see that…" And Jenny did, and then she could see a light coming down and shining all over her and her Mom. And she could look forward just like magic to the future and absolutely know that her Mum would always love her and she could feel really OK about that, and not weird anymore. And she felt happy about that and so did her Mom.

"And when Jenny woke up from her dream she felt different," said the clown, "because that was magic." And from that time on Jenny knew she could laugh and play again and always know that her Mom would love her, even when she wasn’t there.
