She Came From The Stars

The Discovery Of Her

It was Saturday afternoon,

and the weather was perfect.

The birds were chirping;

the wind was howling

such a sweet song;

and the sun was beaming,

and bursting with light

for everyone to see!

Oh,

what a magical day it was,

you see.

Indeed-

there was magic in the air.

Terry Rodgers took notice of

the weather,

and decided to go for a swim

later on in the day.

He had just gotten back home from his jog

in the park.

Now,

he was about to make him a nice,

rewarding snack-

with a bottle of water,

of course.

His wife,

Stella,

had just gotten up from her afternoon nap.

She had been feeling sick

all day yesterday,

leading into this afternoon.

Terry wasn't too sure if she'd be up

for a relaxing swim at the lake nearby.

He was hoping she'd be down to swim,

but her health was important as well!

It didn't hurt to ask, though.

So that's exactly what Terry did.

"Hey, Stella?" he hollered up the stairs,

while peeling back a banana.

He could hear her moving,

and fussing around upstairs

in her room.

"Yes, Terry?" she yelled back at him.

"Can you come downstairs for a minute?"

he asked. "I need to ask you something."

Terry then heard the sound of Stella's footsteps

coming towards him.

She then stood at the top of the stairs,

and asked, "What is it?"

She seemed a bit irritated,

maybe due to her sickness.

"I was just wondering if you wanted

to go for a swim at the lake.

It's beautiful out!" he said.

There was a brief pause

between them two,

followed by a, "Sure... why not,"
