The Tiny Bird

 

Midge was sitting on the front porch staring at the bush near the house with pretty red flowers on it. Booker-T came through the gate and sat beside her on the porch.

“What are you doing?” asked Booker-T.

“I'm watching this tiny bird,” said Midge. “See it on the flowers?”

Booker-T started at the bush and didn't see the tiny bird. “What bird?” asked Booker-T.

“That little one over there,” said Midge pointing to the bird with the very fast wings. “See it?”

Booker-T stepped closer to look and something flew over his head. “I don't see it.”

“It just flew over your head,” said Midge. “I think you scared it.”

Who is at The Zoo

 

Jake and Lucy strolled along the sidewalk on their way to to Midge's house. As they started to pass the hot dog stand, Lucy pressed her nose against the window and saw no one inside.

“What are you doing?” asked Jake.

“Don't you want something to eat?” asked Lucy. “Don't you smell the food?”

“Yes,” said Jake. “Can you see anyone in there?”

“No,” sighed Lucy. “I think they are hiding from us.”

“Why?” asked Jake.

“So they don't see us begging for something to eat,” said Lucy.

Going to Meet Sassy

 

Midge and Booker-T strolled along the sidewalk to Jake's house. They hurried through the gate and ran to the porch where they found Jake asleep on the porch swing. Lucy came through the gate and joined Midge and Booker-T at the porch.

“Hey Jake!” called Midge. “Time to wake up now.”

“sh sh sh!” said Booker-T. “Listen!”

“What is that?” asked Lucy.

“Jake is snoring,” laughed Midge.

“Hey Jake!” called Lucy. “Wake up?   You are snoring.”

What's Up Doc?

 

Midge was sitting on the front porch when Booker-T came through the gate.

“What's up Doc?” smiled Midge.

“Doc?” said Booker-T. “I'm not a doc, Midge. I'm just a little cat.”

“I know,” said Midge. “How about a carrot, Doc?”

“Hello Midge,” said Booker-T. “Are you in there?”
