.V f  .M                           AN ANIMAL

                 If I could be an animal I would be a
                 rabbit, soft, cuddly and cute. After I ate
                 some carrots, I’d sleep. I would live far
                 far in the woods. I would really enjoy
                 being an animal, but I’m better off be­
                 ing a human being!

Grade 2-S
                                                    My name is Tom Turkey. I’m very worried, not because of me,
                                                    but because of my father, Tim Turkey. He is just the right size
                                                    for the farmer’s dinner on Thanksgiving. I told him to run away
                                                    with me. He said that was a good idea. So the next morning we
                                                    got away safely and went back into the forest. Also, I played
                                                    with the other little turkeys. My father tried to go on a diet, so
                                                    when we go back to the farm next year, my father won’t get
                                                    eaten.

                 HURRICANE GLORIA

                 On Friday, September 27, Hurricane
                 Gloria struck. We had lights for five
                 minutes, then the lights went out. We
                 told ghost stories. They were scary. We
                 liked them. The hurricane did not do
                 any damage, just a few shingles gone. It
                 was fun. We played games.
