Barder and the Magic Turban


Barder was always a weak dog, and now since he was pushing 12 years, he was barely able to walk. His owner, Max was now 8 years old and always wanted to play with Barder. One day, Max took him on a long walk around the neighborhood. As they were walking down by the junkyard, something caught Max’s eye. It was a bright orange turban lying over an old tire. Barder laid down as his owner went to go grab it. As Max put the turban on, he began to float high up in the air. Barder watched and tried to bark at Max, but he couldn’t. Max slowly unraveled the turban as he was flying throw the air and came back down to the ground. He walked over to Barder and put his arms around him, while rewrapping the turban. They flew over the whole town. It was the best day of Barder’s life. He was able to fly anywhere without any limits. He had had these limits all his life and now he didn’t. By the time they landed Barder couldn’t breath. Max started to talk to him and tell him how it was the turban was the coolest thing he had ever found, but Barder was already dead. Max gave Barder a huge hug, put the turban back on, and flew to the pet store to buy a new puppy.
