Growing a flower
is easy. First, you fill a pot with soil. Next, push a seed about
one inch deep into the soil. My mother likes plants. Cover the seed
with soil, then water the plant. Within days, it will begin to
sprout.
Prairie dogs are members
of the squirrel family. These ground-dwelling squirrels dig a
complex series of tunnels deep into the ground -- called a town!
Hundreds of prairie dogs live together in towns that can cover
hundred of acres of land! My town is named Red Creek.
Halloween night was very
scary. My friend dressed up like a witch. Her dad answered the door
dressed like a goblin. I love Christmas. He screamed BOO, and I ran
away.
Have you ever swam in
the ocean? It is very different from swimming in a lake. The ocean
has salt water and a lake has fresh water. The ocean has sharks, but
the lake does not. Swimming in a pool is fun to do. Waves in the
ocean are much bigger than waves on a lake.
Puffer fish
protect themselves from predators by blowing up. When they blow up,
spikes come out. I like to go on my boat. Puffer fish eat clams,
shellfish and mussels. The puffer fish live in the Red Sea in Egypt.
I have a dog. My new
kitten is cute. She has fluffy, white fur. She is as fluffy as a
snowball. Her tail is as long as a snake. It swishes from side to
side. She loves to lick her paws.
Listen carefully and do
exactly what I say. Go right to the store and buy the new Chatty
Cathy doll. It looks and sounds real. All you have to do is touch
her hand and she talks. My mom thought it was me talking. She walks
too. The doll sounds really fake. Buy it and see for yourself.
Once upon a time there
were three bears. They went for a walk in the woods. While they were
gone a girl named Goldilocks entered their home. My friend is six
years old. She fell asleep in their house.
