Mrs. Linden’s Library

“I would like to check-out the Plant Mystery please’’, she said as she was grabbing her library card

“Oh, you don’t want that book sweetheart”, and grabbed it from her

“Why not?”

“It’s just the people who check out the book never come back”harris book plant

“Then how do you get the book back?”

“We buy them every year”

“Whatever!” She grabbed the book back from her.

Then Holly vanished. She waited and waited then finally a new librarian came, she ran up to the desk.

“May I check out this book please?” as she once again took out her library card.

“Sure honey.’’

“Thank you, bye.”

“Bye.”

As Holly walked away the first librarian said she had warned her about the book.  Now it’s too late.

She walked home.  She found her dad in the laundry room.

“Hi dad, look at my book.”

“The Plant Mystery, that’s a really good title.” he said.

“Oh, here are your pajamas” he said while handing me my purple pajamas.

“Thanks.”

She ran up to her room and put on her favorite pajamas.  She grabbed her book and started to read it. One hour later she fell asleep with the book open. That is when it started to grow.

Two hours later her dad came in and saw the plant all over the room.

Then he yelled, “Holly, Holly!”

She woke up and saw her dad.

“What is this? HELP ME! HELP ME!” She screamed

Her dad ran down stairs and grabbed the scissors. Her dad cut her free but then he got sucked into the plant.

“Dad, dad!” yelled Holly.

He and ran away. Was never seen again.

The very next day she returned the book and said the legend was a lie
