The Cars

Jake, Midge and Booker-T Strolled along the sidewalk with Gypsy following behind them. Midge started to sing a little song.

"Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream," sang Midge.

"Why are you singing about rowing a boat?" asked Gypsy. "Are we going to take a boat ride?"

"She just likes to sing," smiled Jake. "When her owner has her little niece over, Midge likes the little songs she sings.

"She likes to dance too," laughed Booker-T.

"You can dance Midge?" asked Gypsy.

"She does pretty good," said Jake.

"Wow," said Gypsy. "Will you teach me to dance?"

"Sure," said Midge. "I can teach you."

Gabby flew down from above and landed on top of Jake's head.

"Where are you guys going," asked Gabby.

"Hey Gabby," said Jake. "We are going to take Gypsy to the little zoo building and see what animals are there today. Want to come along?"

"Did you know they above a car show in the field behind the zoo building today?" asked Gabby. "Do you want to check out the old cars?"

"We see cars on the roads every day," said Jake.

"These are different," said Gabby. "You don't see these on the roads."

"Why?" asked Midge.

"These are old cars from long time ago," said Gabby. "I saw one today that was from 1908 year. They really look different."

"Do you want to go see them?" asked Jake. "We can see the zoo at the same time. They are both in the same area."

"Lets go see the cars," said Booker-T. "Jake is right. We can see both of them."

"Okay," said Midge and Jake. "Lets go check them out. Come on Gypsy."

They walked to the zoo as Gabby flew above them.

"Hey Jake," said Midge. "Look at all the people over there."

"Lets go see," said Jake as he started to hurry along the sidewalk. He looked both ways and they all ran across the street to the parking lot of the zoo building.

When they walked to the back of the zoo building, they saw about 15 or 20 cars lined up in the field. The sign said there were cars from 1886 through 1960.

"Look at that car over there," said Midge. "It has no roof or doors on it. How do you ride in it when it rains?"

"Maybe they stayed home when it rained," suggested Gypsy.

"But if they went to work," said Jake. "The had to get wet going there."

"Maybe they rode in the car carrying an umbrella over them," suggested Booker-T.

"That would be funny," laughed Gypsy. "Going down the street holding an umbrella."

"That would really be funny," said Booker-T. "All these cars going down the street with umbrellas."

"I'm glad we didn't live back that year," said Jake.

"Look at that one, Jake," said Midge. "It has wood on it. Wow, they made cars with wood."

"The sign says it is a woody," said Jake.

"I never heard of a Woody car," laughed Midge. "These old cars are neat looking."

"What kind of car is that one over there, Jake?" asked Booker-T.

Jake read the sign. "It says it is a 1966 Batmobile."

"What is a batmobile?" asked Midge. "Do bats ride in them?"

"It says on the sign that it is from a movie called Batman," said Jake. "It says that this one is the only one ever made."

"Only one?" asked Midge.

"Wow," said Booker-T. "Whoever owned it had one of a kind. That's cool."

"These are really different from the ones we see every day," said Jake.

"I like them," said Booker-T.

"Me too," said Gypsy.

"Now lets go inside the zoo and see who is there," said Midge.
