The lantern drawing parade · your own words

This original fictional story has one completed arrival. A paper Lantern rides on a toy cart towards a cardboard gate. Ribbon stands at the gate waiting. Lantern thinks the gate looks like a tall mouth. Ribbon thinks it looks like the beginning of a parade. The cart rolls ‘rumble-rumble’ along the drawn track and stops beside Ribbon. Lantern says, ‘I made it!’ Ribbon waves one end. Lantern hopes to travel beyond the gate tomorrow, but the supplied story ends at the arrival beside Ribbon. The illustration description shows the stopped cart, Lantern and Ribbon beside the gate, with an empty track beyond it. Any imagined beyond-the-gate event is new fiction, not a completed event in this source. No real fire, powered cart or public parade is involved.
