“Quick,” said Drice. “Quick, call Dreet, the sweet
dream!”
“Dreet!” called Henry. “Sweet dream, help! Dreet,
please come! Dreet!”
Suddenly a beautiful boat came by and scooped
everyone out of the water. Music came from the boat’s
insides, and all Henry’s company began to dance and
sway softly to the tune of a lovely lullaby. Out on deck
came a beautiful creature who looked like the Lady of
the Salty Tears, except that she was just the same size as
Henry.
“Hello, Henry,” she said. “I’m Dreet, the sweet
dream.” The boat rose into the air and nestled in a
cloud. There it rocked softly, while Dreet sang Henry
this sweet song:
Far away from everywhere,
Far from every care,
Above the restless ocean,
Way up in the air,
Is the land where dreams are real.
Now we’re there.
Far from fear and far from pain,
In the soft blue sky,
That’s where sweet dreams live and reign,
No one knows just why.
This is where your dream are real,
Now we’re there.
