Many of you have seen a world in your dreams. It is a beautiful place, colorful, light, and great. Magical creatures, unknown to the world of the living, breathing, seeing eyes, dwell. In such a dream a young child, fast asleep though she thought she was, she found herself transported to another world. Waterfalls, forests and streams. Butterfly, bunnies…so many things.
And then she saw them.
What they were she did not know. Only a girl of 6, she had no idea what this majestic creature with slender legs, white coat, and a horn could be. It walked to the waters edged and began to drink, slowly…cautiously. As it backed up over the stones a light, musical sound filled the air.
“Clip…clop…clip…clop…” the girl whispered in time with the steps. Her eyes drooped into a trance like state. “Clip…Clop…”
The creature jerked up and looked to the human. A human!? Oh this might be bad. The clip~clop paused, however, hearing the child’s soft voice.
“Clip~Clop? Clip~Clop…” a soft smile appeared on his lips. He liked that name. He dubbed himself Clip~Clop at that vary moment, though was called CC by most.
His children were then known as Clip~Clops…and then their children…and their children, until finally the whole race was dubbed Clip~Clops.
Of course, the child grew. But she passed on her story of that night, of that dream which was not a dream, to her children, and their children, and so on. Soon the children spoke of the Clip~Clops. Of their hopes and dreams, of the magical creatures that they believed made them dream.
And so, dubbed Clip~Clop by a sleepy child, these creatures took hold of their identity…
