House in the air

Last week Elly drew these pictures, two in colours and one in black-and-white.

In the large picture, she outlined in black ink, a house with three windows. What interested me was the house itself. It could suspend itself in the air, perhaps by an invisible air cushion. The smoke that came out from its chimney showed that there were people inside, probably cooking dinner at that moment. A straight concrete road ran towards the house.

From the grass lawn beneath the house, two big flowers and a giant banana tree grew out.
The sun was shining brightly over the land. Not far from the road was a pond. Swimming in it were some fish. We suspected the green object as a tortoise, but Elly explained that it was a leaf.

This picture is full of life, flowers, a tree with fruit, fish in a pond, hidden people in a house and our mighty sun. It seemed to me that there was a flying insect on the tree trunk.

In the black-and-white picture, Elly told everyone in words that it was a house. She drew quite a number of hearts to show her love to her "flying house". This time she drew a similar tree. On the table was a cooking pan with an egg in it. She asked her grandma to teach her how to write "insect" in Chinese. Well, beside the pan, I found some insects.

In the picture at the bottom right, Elly drew another winged house which had already landed on the ground with a two-lane road leading to the doorsteps of the house.Elly always put a door-knob to her house and planted a tall tree next to it. Instead of a chimney, this time she put a flower. She never missed a fishing pond close to the house.
