Anna had unlimited power over all around her. The ring her Dad gave her for a birthday present had rid the world of a rude salesman. She looked forward to her next victim.
A day later her best friend Joan Potter came over on her bike. "Hi Anna, did you have a good birthday?"
Anna smiled and said, "Oh yes I got a few nice things."
The girls ran upstairs to seen the gifts. As Joan entered the room Anna slammed the door shut.
"Hey what's up Anna, said a surprised Joan!"
"I have something to show you, and it's really neat, look!"
Pushing her small hand into view the gold ring shown brightly. "Neat huh, just think of an animal that you would like to become and it makes it happen, I've tried it, said Anna."
Joan scowled, "That's stupid, your making this up!"
This time Anna's face grew dark with anger at the insult. "Yes my dear it really does work. Now do as I say, tell the ring what animal you would like to be for say one day!"
Joan walked around the room, she lived on a farm too. The daily animals she saw were nothing to dream about, dirty, smelly, and dumb. Joan thought to change the subject and said, "My uncle Brad is going to send me a Morgan riding horse for my birthday next month, I think that's a neat present don't you Anna."
Anna' misunderstanding what Joan said, rubbed her ring till it glowed. "Oh Joan I think you should know how a Morgan horse feel's before you own one, right! Anna said, Circe Joan wants to be a Morgan horse mare for one day!"
