Flying Carpet-03
by Leo J. Du Lac
Category: Juvenile Fiction

John and Howard are happily eating melons from the moon, and the two fire dragons are delighted with each other. The boys think it is about time they went home. The two dragons won't stop them for the moment; they are too busy looking at each other. They run to the rug, it is ready to go, the Aurora Borealis is churning at its best with power for the rug. It will be easy to go home, because it is downhill all the way. They don't want to mess up the sky with melon rinds, but there is nothing else they can do. They land in front of the house and their father hugs both John and Howard at the same time. After Viola hugs John and Howard, she rushes outside with a huge knife to chop up the rug so there won't be any more trips into space. The carpet quickly flew up on the workshop roof. Santa Clause runs in, exclaiming, " I want one, I want one!" "A bigger rug will deliver Christmas presents all over the world with power from the Aurora Borealis!"
