Gumdrop’s Big Bubble Day
Gumdrop was a cute orange cat who loved chewing gum.
He woke up, stretched, and said, "Mew, mew, gum time."
He found his pink gum.
He unwrapped it.
Pop.
He chewed, chewed, chewed.
His ears wiggled.
His tail wagged.
"Bubble time."
he chirped.
He blew.
A tiny bubble grew.
Pop.
Gumdrop giggled.
"Again."
He chewed more.
He blew bigger.
A round shiny bubble grew.
It was as big as his head.
The bubble floated.
Gumdrop’s paws lifted off the floor.
"Wheee."
he squeaked.
He floated past the sofa.
Past the lamp.
Past the fishbowl.
Fishy waved a fin.
"Hi, Gumdrop."
Gumdrop waved back.
His bubble bobbed.
He floated into the kitchen.
Mama cat was mixing muffins.
"Look, Mama."
Mama smiled.
"Sweet bubble, sweet kitty."
The bubble touched the ceiling.
Pop.
Gumdrop landed soft in Mama’s arms.
Tickle, tickle.
Mama hugged.
Gumdrop purred.
He found another gum.
Blue this time.
Chew, chew, chew.
Blow, blow, blow.
A giant blue bubble grew.
It was as big as the window.
Outside, birds chirped.
"Cool bubble."
Gumdrop floated out the open window.
Up, up, up.
He floated over the garden.
Roses waved.
Butterflies danced around the bubble.
The bubble shimmered rainbow in the sun.
Gumdrop felt light like dandelion fluff.
He floated over the park.
Puppies barked, "Come play."
Gumdrop giggled.
"Cannot stop.
Bubble fun."
He floated higher.
Up to the clouds.
A cloud shaped like a sheep said, "Baa, nice bubble."
Gumdrop smiled.
"Baa, thank you."
He reached the top of the sky.
The bubble wobbled.
Pop.
Gumdrop tumbled down, down, down.
He landed on a soft cloud.
The cloud felt like whipped cream.
Gumdrop laughed.
"Again, again."
But the gum was gone.
He patted his pockets.
Empty.
He looked down.
Far below, his house looked like a cookie.
"Uh oh.
No gum.
No float.
How home."
The sheep cloud nudged him.
"Ride me."
Gumdrop climbed aboard.
The cloud floated down, down, down.
Past the puppies.
Past the roses.
Past the butterflies.
It stopped at his window.
"Thank you, cloud."
Gumdrop waved.
He hopped inside.
Mama was waiting with warm milk and a muffin.
"Did you have fun."
Mama asked.
Gumdrop purred.
"Big bubble fun."
He snuggled into Mama’s lap.
Milk mustache on his whiskers.
He yawned a tiny yawn.
"Mew, mew, sleepy time."
Mama purred, "Dream more bubbles."
Gumdrop closed his eyes.
In his dream, pink and blue bubbles danced like balloons.
They carried him gently to the moon, where moon kitties chewed moon gum and blew silver bubbles that sang lullabies.
Gumdrop smiled in his sleep.
His paws twitched, making tiny bubbles of happy dreams.
And that night, every time he breathed out, a little bubble of love floated around the room, keeping all his dreams safe and silly and sweet.
