The Rescue

     One day I found a baby squirrel running around in circles in my front yard. We ended up giving the orphaned, 4-week old baby squirrel to the animal shelter. Here is how this true story happened.
     When I opened the door to the house Paul said,"You should go inside and ask Mom if she wants you to do any chores."
     "Okay," I said. I went inside the house and questioned, "Do you need me to do any chores?"
     "You can take the garbage out, do the dishes, and do the laundry," replied Mom.
     "Okay, Mom," I said. Then I went over to the garbage. I took it out of the garbage can and went outside to put it in the trash can. I stopped dead in my tracks. I saw a rust-brown baby squirrel running around in circles in front of my feet. I ran to the garbage can and thrust the garbage bag into it and ran it to the curb. Then I ran inside, being careful not to step on the squirrel. When I got inside I exclaimed, "I JUST SAW A BABY SQUIRREL IN THE FRONT YARD!!!"
     "Slow down!" shouted Mom.
     I slowed down to my regular speed and reported, "I just saw a baby squirrel in the front yard!"
     "Oh, then show me!" Mom exclaimed, no longer confused.
     "Okay," I said. Then I went outside with Mom when I screamed, "STOP!!!"
     "What!?" Mom said as she stopped dead in her tracks.
     "You almost stepped on the squirrel!" I declared, a little bit annoyed at the fact she didn't notice.
     "Oh," She retorted as she looked down at the squirrel.
     Then we went inside to call the animal shelter.
     "Hmmmm, okay I guess that will work," Mom replied to the lady on the phone, then she hung up. Then Mom ordered, "Go outside and get the squirrel and get in the car," as she handed me an empty box.
     "Okay, but can't we keep the squirrel?" I questioned curiously.
     "No, we don't have enough room," Mom replied. After I took the squirrel to my mom's car and got in, we started to drive to the Pizza Place. When we got there we noticed she was already there.
     The shelter lady smiled as she looked in the box and said,"The squirrel looks like it's four weeks old and can't open its eyes."
     "Cool," I said as I handed her the box. After she took the squirrel we headed home.

The Green Bean Catastrophe!

     Once upon a time, a girl named Eve told all of her friends she absolutely LOVES green beans. The next day she got DREADFULLY sick. Then she admitted to her all her friends she actually HATES green beans the next day. Here is how it happened.
     One glorious, sun-shiny Monday morning Eve got up, and got ready for school. She was very gloomy, she had to eat horrible, distasteful green worms (green beans). After she finally got ready to go to school she dragged her smelly, ugly feet downstairs and ate her delicious bowl of cereal. She walked out of the door and started slowly walking to school. Her dad, Adam, was already at his boring, old, shabby grocery store down the street. After she got to school (five minutes late, even though she didn't care) the day passed by quickly, until she got to lunch. It seemed like everything was going in slow motion. She went up to the lunch lady and she gave her slimy green beans, chocolate milk, squashy mashed potatoes, juicy pears, and delicious turkey. She ate everything except the green worms. She couldn't take it anymore she thought, but when her friend asked if she likes green beans she blurted yes. She ended up eating the disgusting green worms.
     The next day she didn't feel very well. She told her mom, Emma, if she thought she was sick, her mom thought so to. She ended up not going to school because her mom found out she had a cold.
     The next day she felt better and went to school. Just like the day before school went by like a blur except, lunch. She went up to the lunch lady and she gave her meaty meatball sub, chocolate milk, salty chips, crunchy carrots, and green worms AGAIN. She ate everything until only the green worms were left. When she heard her friends saying how much they loved green beans, she lost it. She ended up telling the truth to her friends.

                                                                          THE END

Hope and Blizzard

     Once upon a time, a girl named Hope was born, little did she know that she had a special gift. Ten years later she realizes she can talk to wolves. Here is how it happened.

     "Dad, I'm home!" shouted Hope.
     "Can you take the cat outside?" asked Dad.
     "'The cat' has a name you know!" shouted Hope angrily.
     Hope called for Larza and she came. After Larza went outside she decided she would ask Dad if he had any errands he would like her to do. She asked and he said no, so she asked if she could go on a walk and he said yes. She started her walk. Hope often liked to go outside because she loved plants and animals. Lots of the kids at school thought she was weird. Maybe it was because she usually aced every subject, or because of the way she looked? She didn't know.
     "WHOA!" Hope shouted as she fell backwards. All of a sudden a wolf appeared from behind a bush! It was white, that's all she knew before the wolf darted past her. She chased after it, she didn't know why but it felt important to figure out where the wolf was going. She chased it, and chased it and then the wolf stopped. She was just about to touch it, but it turned around. She noticed that it had green eyes and a fox-like face. Then it said,"You have a special power, Hope, you can speak to wolves." Then it ran away again. Then she decided she would come back tomorrow and find it.
     As she was walking home she felt like something was following her. She turned around and saw nothing. After that every five minutes she turned around. After she got home she yelled,"I'm home!"
Dad replied,"Time to go to bed!"
"Okay!" Hope shouted. She went into her room, changed into her pajamas got into bed and fell asleep.
     The next morning she woke up, and found the same wolf at the foot of her bed. She whispered,"How did you get in?" She thought she heard the wolf whisper a faint reply. Hope muttered something under her breath and said,"Can you talk?"
     "Yes." replied the wolf.
     Hope asked surprisingly,"You do?What is your name?"
     "Blizzard." he replied,"You have a special power."
     "What is it?" blurted Hope.
     "You can talk to wolves if you choose to, this is extremely rare." Blizzard retorted. Then he ran out my room and out the door.

                                                                        THE END
