     Yesterday I was walking downtown to meet my friend Julie.  I was
going to meet her at our favorite toy store.  When I got there Julie was waiting outside the store for me.  We were both so excited because
we each had $5.00 to spend. 
     Inside the toy store we went up and down every aisle.  There were so many toys to choose from.  The last row we came to we saw three
dancing penguins.  They were so cute and we knew that we were going to take them home. 
     When we picked them up they started talking to us.  Julie and I were shocked.  These were real live penguins NOT toys.  We decided to take them home anyway and knew we were going to have to find a place to hide them from our parents.  This was not going to be an easy job. 
     When we got home we found the perfect spot in Julie's woods.  We made a nice house for them and took them food and water every day.  Nobody ever did find out our little secret.
