Midge walked to Booker-T's house next door and as she entered the gate into the yard, she saw Booker-T coming around the house from the back yard.
“Hi Booker-T,” greeted Midge. “Are you ready to go to Jake's house?”
“Lets go Midge,” smiled Booker-T.
They strolled along the sidewalk on their way to Jake's house. Suddenly Midge saw something in the sky that glistened. She stopped and stared at the sky.
“What is wrong, Midge?” asked Booker-T.
Midge and Booker-T strolled along the sidewalk on their way to Jake's house. They entered the yard through the gate and found Jake napping on the porch swing.
“Hey Jake!” called Midge as she tapped him on the head with her paw. “Wake up Jake!”
“Wakey wakey!” laughed Booker-T.
Jake sat up and blinked his eyes at them. “I'm awake!” said Jake.
“You were sleeping,” said Midge.
“Maybe a little,” said Jake. “Maybe I was just resting my eyes.”
Midge hurried around to the front yard and out the gate on her way to Booker-T's house next door. She ran around to his back door and crawled through the doogie door into the kitchen.
“Hey, Booker-T!” called Midge. “Where are you? Wake up!”
Booker-T entered the kitchen.
“Hi Midge,” said Booker-T. “What are you doing this morning?”
“Come on,” said Midge. “Come to my house. I have something to show you.”
“What happened?” asked Booker-T.
Midge sat on the front porch waiting for Booker-T to walk over and then they are going to walk to Jake's house. As she sat there looking around, she saw something lurking in the bushes outside the fence. Midge stared in the direction of the bushes and when Booker-T came and walked into the yard through the gate, something followed him into the yard.
“Hi Midge,” greeted Booker-T.
“Who is your friend?” asked Midge.
“What friend?” asked Booker-T looking confused. “I don't have anyone with me.”
“Look behind you,” said Midge.
Booker-T turned to look and there sat a small animal standing there staring at them.
“Who are you?” asked Midge standing up and walking toward Booker-T.
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.”
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.
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.”
