Fox and Friends
Today, I woke up feeling sad. In a forest full of other animals, I do not have a friend. No one wants to be friends with me because I am a fox. When animals see me coming they run away.
As I walk to the pond, I hear laughing and a lot of splashing. I see a deer and a rabbit playing in the water. The deer is laughing and smiling. He looks very happy.
I decide to hide behind a bush and ask them if I can play. This way they can hear me but not see me. “Can I come play with you?” I yell.
The deer and rabbit look for me, but they cannot see me. The deer says, “Yes, but you have to stop hiding!”
When I come out the rabbit seems scared, but the deer comes straight to me and gives me a big hug. As I play in the pond with my two friends, I feel so happy.

This morning Holly woke up bright and early, an hour before her alarm was set. She made her bed, folded her clothes and did her chores. She had a spelling test on Monday so during breakfast she practiced her spelling words. After breakfast Holly made a “Get Well Soon” card for one of her classmates who had broken his leg on the playground last week and had to get a cast. She took her time to draw a detailed picture of Josh in his bright blue cast and even used bubble letters on the front. Holly was quiet and shy, but she was always ready to help anyone who needed it. She preferred to read and play with her pet dog Buddy than with kids her own age. At the soccer game that afternoon Holly sat quietly on the bench cheering on her teammates. Holly was not very athletic and usually helped the team by passing out water during breaks, but she was happy to help.
This morning when Sarah’s alarm went off she unplugged it and went back to sleep. Finally Buddy woke her up with slobbery kisses and licks.

Sarah’s soccer team had their championship game today and she wanted to warm up so she was ready. One of their best players had broken his leg on the playground last week and she knew she would need to play her best for the team to win.
