I need to write a narrative about the day from the perspective of Kaleb


“Play ball” yelled Jeremiah, all of the kids got into position. Karmelo Dez was up at bat. He was the best baseball player in the city. He “CRACKED” the ball up and over Krisanny’s head. All week he bragged about how he would hit a grand slam into the enchanted forest but today, he hit the ball over the rainbow.

Krisanny ran into the forest and passed the rainbow to get the ball when suddenly she saw what looked to be a boy with a ginger beard holding the baseball. She blinked three times, squinted, and wiped her eyes, but it was the same sight. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing!

She cleared her throat and quietly asked, “Hey little boy, can I have my ball back”? “This ball,” he said. “Yes that’s our baseball, we're having a game and I need it back”, Krisanny kindly said.
“THUNK” the leprechaun threw the ball at Krisanny. “Hey why’d you do that,” she asked while rubbing her head. “I am a leprechaun and I thought you knew how to catch since you played baseball” he rudely responded.

Krisanny remembered her teacher Ms. Jones telling her that when leprechauns are captured, they must grant you three wishes to be let go. She jumped at the bearded boy and grabbed him.
He punched, kicked, and shouted “Let me go” but Krisanny would not put him down. “Thought I couldn't catch,'' she said with a smile. “Alright, alright put me down and let's get this over with, I grant you three wishes, you set me free, ok!” Krisanny let him down, she politely introduced herself, “hey I’m Krisanny Danielle Perez; it’s nice to meet you.”

“yea yea” he snapped, “I didn’t ask you that, I’m Kaleb Denzel Perez, but my friends, not you, call me KPD, now let’s start wishing kid.” This leprechaun was the feistiest leprechaun she'd ever met, granted he was the only leprechaun she had ever met. Kaleb was a real piece of work but she really wanted three wishes. Krisanny already knew what she wanted, it was the whole reason she was in the forest. She made her first wish right away, She wished to be the best baseball player in the world!
“That's it kid, no fancy car, no pet unicorn, unlimited pizza”? “ No”, Krisanny replied, ”for right now I just want to play baseball better than anyone in the world, better than my brother Karmelo”. Kaleb snapped his fingers, dabbed, hit the woah and just like that, Krisanny was the best baseball player in the world.

“Alright kid, test it out, throw this ball back to the field”. She picked up the baseball to test her wish. She got into her pitching stance, leaned back, and “WOOSH” the ball came out of her hand at 160 MPH! She could not believe it, she’d finally be better than her brother Karmelo! Her dad was going to be so proud, the first 10-year girl on the Mets, the first female in the major league.

Krisanny started thinking of her future. Sure she was the best baseball player in the world, but that's not what she wanted to be when she grew up. Krisanny loved outer space, she wanted to be an astronaut and work for NASA. Krisanny gazed at the stars every night, and she wished upon them that one day she would walk on the moon. The first Latina to walk on the moon!

Kaleb smirked, he liked Krisanny’s wish, he did the salsa, shimmy, two-step and granted Krisanny her second wish. “In the year 2040, you’ll be the first Latina to walk the moon”, he proudly told her.

Seeing the sun falling lower in the sky, Kaleb hurried Krisanny to make her third wish. Leprechauns who want to grow strong must be in bed by 8:00. But Krisanny didn’t want to leave Kaleb yet, and secretly he didn’t want her to go either. She finally figured out her next wish, she asked Kaleb if he wanted to play on the swings, she even offered to push. He wasn’t excited but he agreed. He had never been invited to the playground by a human before or by any other leprechaun.

Krisanny asked Kaleb how he liked being a leprechaun as she pushed him softly on the swing. “It is a lot of fun making people happy, but it gets lonely.” “You make three wishes, and then you’re set free. No one ever has ever asked me what I wanted, except for you today.” Kaleb confessed. At that moment Krisanny figured out her last wish. It was almost dark out and Krisanny knew she had to get back to the game and her brother. She wanted Kaleb to feel loved, she didn’t want to leave him alone. Most of all she wanted Kaleb to feel wanted and important, so wished for them to be forever friends.

With the brightest smile, Kaleb snapped his fingers, jumped up, clapped his heels, and just like that Krisanny and Karmelo were forever friends. The two walked back to the field laughing and telling each other jokes. Kaleb used his magic to have the sun stay out longer. Krisanny finally beat her brother in a baseball game, Kaleb stayed and cheered from the bleachers. It was the luckiest day of both their lives.
