I Can Win

“Hey Booker-T!” called Midge as she entered the yard at his house. “Where are you?”

“Here I am,” said Booker-T as he came around the corner from the back yard. “What are you doing?”

“Lets go to Jake's house,” said Midge. “Come on Hurry.”

“What's the hurry?” asked Booker-T.

“Did you hear?” asked Midge.

“Hear what?” asked Booker-T.

“My owner had the news on last night and guess what?” said Midge.

They Arrived in the Storm

Midge sat on the front porch watching the rain falling as the drops of rain bounced on the porch railings. Thunder boomed and broke the silence as large streaks of lightning flashed across the sky. Suddenly there was a very loud boom of thunder and Midge jumped and a bright light lit the front yard. In front of her stood a large round dome with what looked like dark windows. Midge stood up and stared at the object. It was a shiny chrome color and glistened in the bright flashes of lightning. She looked around and saw no one in the area.

As the rain fell heavier, the wind began blowing harder and harder.

The Bouncing Fun

Jake, Midge and Booker-T left the zoo and started home to Jake's house. As they passed the house on the corner, Midge saw something standing in the back yard.

“Hey Jake,” said Midge. “What is that in the back yard?”

“I don't know,” said Jake.

“Are they home?” asked Booker-T.

“No,” said Jake. “I see them leave every morning and the don't come home til it gets dark outside.”

“Lets go see what it is,” said Midge. “It is really big.”

Pokey the Sloth

Jake, Midge and Booker-T took a short nap in the new hammock at Jake's house before walking to the little zoo transfer building to check out this thing they call a sloth.

“What kind of animal is at the little zoo building now?” asked Booker-T.

“I don't know what it is,” said Midge. “I heard it was something called a sloth. When my owner was watching the news, the reporter said that everyone should go check out the sloth if anyone had never seen one before.”

“Did they say what it was?” asked Booker-T. “It is a funny name for an animal.”

“Lets go see what it is,” said Midge as she stood up in the hammock and walked to the edge to jump down.
