Midge, Jake, Booker-T and Lucy walked walked along the sidewalk, on their way to the zoo building to visit the petting zoo that is set up behind the building. Suddenly from above, they heard a swirling noise and looked up. Something shiny was flying above them.
“Jake,” whispered Midge. “What is that?”
“I don't know,” said Jake staring at the object above them. “Look at it. It has eyes.”
“Is it a space ship, Jake?” asked Lucy.
“I don't know,” said Jake. “Hello space guys. What do you want?”
Midge was prancing around on the front porch, back and forth. Got on two legs and was dancing around when Jake and Lucy walked through the front yard gate. Booker-T came in behind them and they stood there watching Midge as she danced around.
“What are you doing?” asked Jake.
“Hi there,” smiled Midge.
“What are you doing?” asked Booker-T. “You look like you are dancing?”
“I was,” said Midge. “I'm a dancing star.”
“A star of what?” asked Lucy.
Gabby flew down from the trees and landed on the porch railing at Midge's house where Midge was sitting on the porch swing in the sun.
“Hi Midge,” greeted Gabby. “What are you doing?”
“I'm just sitting here enjoying the early morning sun,” said Midge.
“Where are Jake, Booker-T and Lucy?” asked Gabby.
“They will be here soon,” said Midge. “We are excited to go see the bird in the cage. Is it outside this morning?”
“I will go fly over there and see if he is outside and you wait for them,” said Gabby. “I will be right back.”
Midge ran over to Booker-T's house next door and together they walked to Jake's house and found him in his favorite spot on the porch swing.
“Hey Jake,” said Midge as they walked to the porch. “What are you doing?”
“I'm sitting here waiting for you and Booker-T,” said Jake.
“You were napping,” laughed Booker-T.
“I wasn't sleeping,” said Jake. “I was resting my eyes.”
