In the late 1990s I was a camper at a nearby camp. The camp was based on old native American morals and different songs to brighten the camper's spirits.
One of these songs was "Jelly Bean." "Jelly Bean" was a song that was along the lines of:
"My dog Jelly likes to roam,
One day Jelly left his home.
Jelly Bean, Jelly Bean.
Where oh where is Jelly Bean."
Little did we all know the consequences of this "funny little song."
There was this little girl. Her name was Jamie and she was a playful soul. I heard from one of the JCs (junior counselors) that a year before she came to
the camp that she had a dog named Jelly. The counselor brushed it off as nothing but just a kid being idiotic. That was just before council circle.
Council circle was when all the tribes (remember, it's based off of Native American culture) gathered around to show all the staff what they had created.
One of the JCs decided that it would be a lovely idea to have all the kids stand up and sing "Jelly Bean."
There went over 100 kids singing it calling that poor dogs name. I was standing in the front but, I was 7 at the time so, 9:30 was really late for me.
I kept singing 'till complete silence. There was a dog walking down to Jamie. Jamie started to cry.
"Jelly...?" Jamie said in a sad tone. The dog was decomposing. It wasn't a pet any more it was a wild animal and the counselors tried to warn but, as soon as
she tried to hug him the dog snap.
It started to maul her, Blood spilled everywhere and shreds of her face flew around as if they were confetti. All the campers ran as Jamie was being ripped to shreds.
Five fingers of a JC were ripped off in the process. Someone lit a stick on fire and burned the dog.
Jamie's wind pipe was lost and she began to choke on her own blood. She died right on the dirt covered floor.
Her last words were in a hurt voice of a child who had been pushed or lost a friend. "Jelly... Why did he hurt me...?"
