        At that very moment he looked up and saw Wizder the Observer at the window                                           3

        trying to say something, but there was too much commotion in class for him to be
        heard, no one even noticed him there… Wizder signaled Jonathan to come over
        and then whispered in his ear,

        "This is your chance to start the journey with me to the Soul Creatures' Land."

        Jonathan wiped the tears from his face. He was curious. He looked at Wizder
        again from behind his teary eyes and asked,

        "How?? What kind of journey would this be anyway, with the class in such

        mayhem?"

        Wizder said,

        "Take a good look, this is exactly what happens when the imps take over. Your
        friends have completely forgotten their magical powers. But you can examine
        everything from where you're standing and see which imp has taken over."

                                                  Jonathan remembered the gifts Wizder had given
                                                  him. He rushed over to his back pack and took

                                                  out the magical binoculars.

                                                  When he looked through them, he saw a sight
                                                  that was frightening at first but then turned pretty
                                                  hilarious; his classmates had very strange imps
                                                  sitting on their shoulders, each with many hands

                                                  doing mischievous things, lots of eyes looking
                                                  everywhere, and quite a few mouths that wanted
                                                  to eat everything they could grab (especially if it
                                                  was sweet).




                                                   The "I Want It Now" Imp represents the inability to delay
                                                   gratification and inability to restrain oneself, which lead
                                                   to the desire to obtain things or attention without delay.
