The Cartoon World

“Here I come to save the day,” sang Jake as he skipped along the sidewalk and came through the gate at Midge's house.

“What are you singing?” laughed Midge. “Does the day need saving?”

“My owner turned on the TV and there was a cartoon on,” smiled Jake. “There was a mouse with a cape on and he was singing the song.”

“A mouse is going to save the day?” asked Midge. “What kind of mouse is he?”

“He is a mighty mouse,” said Jake.

“A mighty mouse?” questioned Midge. “A mouse is very small. How can he be mighty?”

Sandcastles

“Hey Midge!” called Jake as he came through the gate at Midge's house. “Where are you?”

“Over here Jake!” said Midge from Booker-T's yard. “I came over here to find Booker-T.”

“Where is he?” asked Jake.

“He's coming,” said Midge. “He was sleeping and I woke him up.”

“Hi Jake,” said Booker-T as he came around the house from the back yard and caught up with Midge as she went through the gate.

“Lets go in and see Snappy before we go to the park,” said Jake. “I want to go say hello.”

The three went to the back of the house and entered the kitchen through the doggie door. They hurried into the living room where Snappy's tank was.

The New Neighbor

 “Hey Midge!” called Jake as he entered the house through the doggie door at the back of the house. “Where are you?”

“Hi Jake,” greeted Midge as she entered the kitchen. “What are you doing here so early?”

“My owner left for work early today so I walked on over here,” said Jake. “I saw your owner leaving.”

“She just left for work,” smiled Midge. “Come on in and say hi to Snappy.”

Jake followed Midge into the living room. “Hi Snappy,” called Jake as he entered the room.

“Hi Jake,” said Snappy as he came up and pressed his nose to the side of the glass. “What are you doing this morning?”

“I came to say hi,” said Jake. “We miss having you at the pond when we go to swim.”

Is the Circus Coming?

“Hey Jake!” called Midge as she sauntered up the sidewalk to the front porch. “What are you doing?”

“Hi Midge,” greeted Jake as he sat up on the swing. “Where is Booker-T?”

“He will be here in little while,” said Midge. “He was waiting for his owner to leave for work. She was going late today.”

“Is Gabby coming to the park with us today?” asked Jake.

“I don't know,” replied Midge as she sat down on the porch.

“I sure miss Snappy sometimes when we go swim in the pond,” said Jake. “He sure liked swimming with us.”
