No roof, no floor, no walls

Stacy was a little girl. She
lived in a house. It was a huge house — well, Stacy throught it was. You see Stacy’s mother and father were both multimillionaires.
One day Stacy was sitting on the floor in her room when she fell asleep. When she woke up she felt very dizzy so she kept her eyes closed. When she opened them she found herself in a room unlike any room she had ever seen before. There was nd roof, no floor and no walls. There was blue mist all around and Stacy was floating. “I can fly, I can fly!” Stacy shouted as she started to flap her arms furiously. But as she did this she started to fall.
"Oh help,” thought Stacy, still flapping and still falling. She landed gently on a seat. At least by this time Stacy had stopped flapping, but was falling. She decided to get up and have a look around. But she could not stand up. So Stacy looked down and to her amazement found that she was sitting op sticky honey and her legs were hanging into a hole.
Suddenly she felt very scared so she closed her eyes, but then wished she hadn’t because she fell into the hole. But when she fell into the hole she did not fall to the bottom. Instead she floated around. She grabbed hold of a hole in the wall and crawled in.”
Suddenly she heard a voice. It said “Stacy, Stacy.” Just then she woke up and found herself in a bed in hospital. A nurse came into the room and said, "You were asleep in bed and fell out and broke your arm. Tomorrow you will go home with a sling. If you have any problems come back here.”
