Dog and Cat in the Park

      by Melvin A.R.

Hi! Let’s go play in the park, or on the monkey bars, So first, we’ll do what I want, but if you don’t do what I want, then we can play everything we want.

Oh, let’s play tag, We can make a map of the park, and then we’ll do what I want, and you don’t do what I want, then we can play everything we want.

Moon, are you made out of cheese? Can I eat you? Maybe we can have a snack together? No, I don’t think so. Yay! Mmm! Is this New Zealand cheddar? Definitely.

Yes certainly! No! You cannot eat me! Why yes!  Did you bring any food? Well, I have no choice. We can have my cheese. Of course!  Do you like it? I’m glad!

Wolf and Bird in the Forest-Woods

            by Joseph S.

I’m a wolf who howls at the moon. I live in a forest.  I jump high and I eat birds. Sometimes I go in the dark and I catch birds.

I’m a bird who flies in the sky. I like the sky.  I make sure I look for food.  If I get food I bring it to my babies. And I need to get out of here!
