Second Dream
I was visiting Oklahoma (where I grew up) and everything was so different and strange. The backyard of the house that I grew up in was all water. All 5 acres was just water except a little land here and there. It was a nice day out and I decided to swim, even though the water was really muddy. Some of my friends were there too. While we swam a lot of trash and litter just appeared out of nowhere. I looked down and the ground under the water had a layer of glass, paper, and junk. Then I looked in the sky and saw a very old fashioned looking helicopter. It actually reminded me of a child's toy helicopter, because it was so colorful. One of my friends whistled for it to come over. Somehow we all got the same idea: use the helicopter's vacuum and suck all this junk out of the water. The helicopter came over and we started figuring out what we needed to do. We decided that two girls would stay under the water and use the hose from the helicopter to vacuum all the junk up. Then another girl would stay above water and make sure that the hose didn't get tangled. It was a big job and took a long time. Since it was taking so long we decided that we would take turns being in the water and out. When it was my turn to be under the water and vacuum, I panicked. I told the other girls that I didn't think I could do it. I couldn't hold my breath as long as they did and I would probably drown. After an argument and the girls getting mad at me, I gave in. I started by just trying to get all of the leaves vacuumed, because there were a lot of them. I figured if I could get the leaves out of the way then that would take care of most of the problem. After the leaves were gone, the rest of the junk could be seen more easily. It took awhile but I finally got all of the other junk vacuumed up. We all got out of the water then and watched the helicopter fly away. I looked at the time and realized I had to leave. It was going to be a three day drive back home and after all that work I was not a happy camper.
