You can get the inspiration for your next adventure (real or in your dreams) almost anywhere you look! Like in a book, or on TV, or…
Every Wednesday night, Gray & Nameless take turns reading to each other. Nameless enjoys reading about other animals and nature…
…while Gray enjoys art books, because of all the pretty pictures. Eventually, they realized it was almost past supper time — and they were very hungry!
Gray convinced Nameless to try Thai food. They were walking to the restaurant, when their friendly local firefighter, Lt. Mike, suggested they take the MUNI bus instead. He was even kind enough to give them a “lift” to the bus stop!
Nameless gave Gray a boost so she could look out the window. “Wow, you can see so much from up here!”
At the Thai restaurant, Gray & Nameless had to pass through a pretty garden to get to their table.
“Ooh, let’s start with some hot tea!”
The brown rice & veggies was good…
…but the red curry eggplant was especially tasty. And spicy!
“Could we have some more water, please?”
Nameless was so thankful to Gray for introducing him to Thai food that he picked up the tab!
When Gray & Nameless got home, they were delighted to find their favorite program on TV: An Adventure Documentary!
They got to see lots of the United States: prairies…
and swamps…
and oceans…
and plains…
and desert.
“Say Gray, let’s go out on our own adventure one day.” “Okay Nameless, but let’s go somewhere no one’s ever gone before!”
Gray & Nameless were so tired after such a fun-filled evening, they fell asleep right in front of the TV.
Maybe it was the Thai food so late in the evening, but the strange dreams began almost immediately. They dreamed they were swimming with a big goldfish…
The goldfish wanted to play hide-and-seek!
“Where could such a big fish hide, Gray?”
But the funny thing was, the goldfish could see Gray & Nameless the whole time!
The goldfish reminded them of something they’d seen earlier in the day in that art book.
And suddenly, Gray & Nameless found themselves in a most surreal world…
Things didn’t quite make sense in the surreal world… but that’s what made it fun!
It was all so exciting, Gray & Nameless needed to lie down for a nap.
When they woke up, they found that they were actually inside the surreal world!
And then a giant hand that looked just like a gust of wind blew in a snowstorm.
It blew Gray & Nameless all the way into a snow-covered land! They found shelter in a hidden cave.
Gray & Nameless met a beautiful Snow Princess, and asked her to help them get home.
She told them they had to go through the Mystical Snow Portal, and offered to lead them to it.
“There is a legend of a Snow Dragon that protects the portal. They say he eats pups & princesses!”
Suddenly, the Snow Dragon appeared out of nowhere. Gray & Nameless and the princess were terrified!
But the the Snow Dragon only looked terrifying. Instead of eating them, he told a funny joke…
…and everyone laughed so hard they fell down!
The next thing they knew, Gray & Nameless woke up tangled in their living room rug. Which was odd, because the last thing they remembered was dozing off on the chair in front of the TV…
