The Most Magic Carpet Ride

When the magic camera was dropped from a height ... it's lights flashed and the film reeled. Lights ! Camera ! Action ! The camera flicked away. The magic camera started snapping and didn't stop. Before the film was completely used up (hardly ever), it had taken snapshots of underneath the table, the fireplace in the lounge and all the food on the kitchen table, ready for tea. Before long, the magic camera had taken pictures of everything in the garden, including a spider, quietly plodding up and down in his web, three ladybirds and a bird's nest. It looked as though the magic camera would never run out of steam ... flicking pictures of the stars in the sky, the road ahead and even the number ten bus passing by. Lights ! Camera ! Action ! The camera flicked away. The magic camera snapped pictures of the inside all the cupboards, the shopping bags and the vegetable rack. It whizzed upstairs and photographed the bathroom cabinet, the bath and all thr toilet rolls. Now even the toilet brush was a star !!! The pictures that the magic camera took were so magic that they never needed developing ... so magic that they lasted forever. The magic camera was so magic that it made even the most ugly of things beautiful ... it made a pig look like a parrot, a sheep ended up looking like a cow. The magic camera was so magic that it was still snapping pictures when it turned night ... it's lights were still flashing and it's film still reeling when it was put back into the camera case at the end of the day. Magic.
