Diary Entry dated June 5, 2019

It was Saturday. I woke up late that day. I was too dub that I
almost fell from my bed. I was in a hurry to go outside to see Missy, the
talking cat. But what I saw was a puppy in the den and the morning dew
that touched my feet. I went back to my room thinking about Missy.
Missy was a talking cat in my dream. I dreamt last night! Do you
think I can talk to her again? Definitely, no! Missy is not real. She’s only a
fantasy in my dream.
I remembered the last dialogue I had with Missy. I would be
helping her write the plural of nouns. I would do it for her even though
she was just a dream. I got my notebook and made a list of the plural of
nouns. I wrote zoo – zoos; radio – radios; kangaroo – kangaroos; video –
videos, and so on. I think Missy will be happy for this!
Hopefully Missy will receive the list when I dream of her again
tonight. I pray that the bird will not fly the list away to the dog or even
drop it to a dam. Do you believe that I can give the list of the plural form
of nouns to Missy?
