The Peace Kids ran to a giant eagle
who landed nearby. They had met Liberty
before, and they knew they were in
for an amazing ride.
"Liberty
has something wonderful to show us,"
Dennis said when they were all aboard.
The peace eagle flapped her wings
and they lifted up into the air.
They rose up into the colors of Cyberspace
and Dennis typed on his palm pilot.
Liberty leaned forward into the hyperlink
and they soared ahead, racing faster
and faster like a roller coaster.
The
Peace Kids loved it! Then Liberty
eased back and gently climbed up into
a starlit sky. Down below they could
see thousands of people standing together
outside holding candles and singing
softly. They glided on across the
planet and saw millions of people
celebrating.
"The
last section of the Department of
Peace bill calls for promoting a day
of peace," Dennis said softly. "We're
seeing what it will be like when we
celebrate the very first day of peace
on earth, ever."
The Peace Kids knew all about the
campaign for a day of peace. Now that
they could see how wonderful it was
going to be when it really happened,
they were filled with great hope.
