I sit beneath the tall, shady treeOne hot summer day.I read, and I read,Treasuring this moment,This day.Just my book and me.I am in my own world,The scene beside me is not there.Neither am I.I am a knightFighting a dragon.I am a princess,Letting down my hair.I am a troll,Eating a sheep.Though I myself am soon fast asleep.
