There used to be this little girl named July who was very bad and she was sent to bed without her dinner many nights for punishment.
One night night as she was being sent to her room she was thinking about how hungry she was and how she wished she would stop being bad so that her mother would stop sending her to her room at dinner time. Shen entered her room and didn't even turn on the light and sat down on her bed and starting praying to God to please make her good in His eyes.
All of a sudden the window was open and steps appeared walking down into the woods down by the creek. On the beach of the creek stood an old woman stirring something in a big pot over a fire.
"Come here child.and eat" said the old woman. July was handed a bowl of broth made from roots and herbs It was warm and salty with chunks of potato, carrots, and parsnip the spices warmed her belly..She was lulled to sleep in the arms of the old woman telling her stories of long ago and also of the future.
She rose from her slumber before dawn while the old woman reached out to her with another bowl of broth that had been on the fire all night.. I felt good in her stomach. July walked the path back to her bedroom window. and landed back in her own bed
