Another View
by Anita N. Amin
One misty morning, Chloe and Joey were looking around their backyard. They were sitting on the grass.
Joey saw a rock with little plants on it.
“Look at that mossy green rock!” Joey cried.
“That is not a rock,” Chloe said. “It’s a dinner table for
snails.” A snail inched over to the rock to munch on the
plants. Next, Joey saw a leaf. “Look at that pretty
yellow leaf!” Joey cried.
“That is not a leaf,” Chloe said. “It’s a blanket for
beetles.” A beetle crawled under the warm leaf. Then,
Joey saw a flower. “Look at that red flower!” Joey
cried. “That is not a flower,” Chloe said. “It’s a shower
for worms.” A worm played in the water under the
flower as dewdrops dripped from the petals. “Look at
that wild mushroom!” Joey cried. “That is not a mushroom,” Chloe said. “It’s an umbrella for spiders.” A spider
knit a web under the mushroom away from the mist. Finally, Joey saw a stick. “Look at that squiggly–” Joey
stopped. If he called it a stick, Chloe would say it was not a stick. So, Joey cried, “Look at that squiggly
ladybug ladder!” Chloe grinned at Joey and said, “Now you're seeing things from another point of view!”
