The first time Mirna put on her new
skirt she started to twirl. The skirt
swirled around her. Then a bird flew by and dropped
dirt on her skirt. Mirna was so sad. “Chirp, chirp,”
said the bird. I can’t believe that bird got dirt on
Mirna’s skirt! J J J

Tire on Fire
The other day I got a
phone call. A girl named
Irelyn got a flat tire. She
hired me to fix her tire. When I got there, her tire
was on fire. I had all the right tools and all the right
wires, but first I had to put out the fire. After I
put out the entire fire, I put on a new tire.

Borris the Horse

This is Borris. Borris is my horse.
He was born two years ago. My mum
and dad got him for me. He is short,
but that is because he is still growing.
Borris likes to eat corn, but the vet told me it is not
good for him. Borris has worn a saddle before. We
used it to practice for the parade. I can’t wait to
ride Borris in the parade! J J J

With the Lions

We got to go to a special class
called With the Lions at the zoo.
They took us close to the lions.
It was safe because there were huge clear boards
in between us and the lions. I got to see and hear
the lions roar! We got to touch a piece of a lion’s
mane. It was coarse. The lion made a huge jump
and soared through the air. It was so cool! J J J

Last Saturday
It was my turn to help mum
bake a cake. She pulled the pan
from the oven. I touched it.
“Ouch! That hurt!” I said. I burned my finger. We
went to the doctor and a nurse helped me. The
nurse said, “This is a small burn. We are going to
help you and then it is someone else’s turn.” After
the doctor, we went to church. J J J
