FFF Arty's Adventures on Flower Friday


This Flower Friday Mama said I could tell you a short story I wrote while I was at camp. You see, it isn't only Flower Friday, it is also Final Friday Fiction with Yam-Aunty!

I took this month's story phrases from page 87 of a book Mama is reading called:
Martha Washington:An American Life
by
Patricia Brady
Line 8-travel was always
Line 12-undetectable roads
Line 16-invitation
Now...on to my story!
Once upon a time there was an adventurous Shih Tzu named Arty who received an invitation to visit a beautiful waterfall deep in the rainforest. Travel was always exciting to Arty and he made arrangements right away. He arrived in the tropical paradise the next morning.
When Arty first saw the waterfall he was in awe of the power of the water pouring over the precipice. He was amazed when he could actually hear the waterfall before it came into view! Right then, he decided he wanted climb to the very top and jump to the pool below! 

His heart was pounding as he began his journey to the top of the falls!
He made his way up a barely recognizable and undetectable road. He powered his way through thick vines and brush. Along his journey, he saw beautiful orange heliconia....



...and lobster claw heliconia!

He could hardly hear himself think when he reached the top of the waterfall.  The roar of the water kept him from thinking about how scary it was being up so high!

 
....but he screwed up all his courage tip toed out to the edge, took a deep breath....



and JUMPED!!!

What an experience...the rush, the adrenaline..the FEAR!
He culdn't believe how reckless he had been and decided again, right then and there, never to do anything so silly ever again!


The End





I hope you enjoyed my story today....Just a reminder that even thought the character's name is Arty...and he might look like me...I would never ever ever
jump in the water voluntarily!!

    Clapping wildly Mayor Arty OMCs the lobster claw heliconia is gorgeous and the waterfall...well I think I could hear it all the way over here in NC.
    Who know one could Twerk while jumping from the tippy top of a water fall.

    What an adventure, Arty! I was so worried when your hat was on top of the water but you weren't yet... Thanks for telling us that "you were good"!!!

    I've never seen the lobster claw heliconia before. I am stunned by it. It is unique and gorgeous. Thank you!

    Arty, I am sure you would never do anything that dangerous. Must set a good example for your little sister, right? I am always amazed how you always know the names of the flowers, though. Maybe that's a super power!
