The Mouse in Our House

There's a mouse in our house.

I saw the mouse in our house.

I don't know why the mouse

came to visit at our house.

I guess he thought we had some

mouse food in our house.

Stripes, our cat, was in the house.

A cat can usually catch a mouse.

But Stripes did not see the mouse

that came to visit at our house.

The mouse had shiny, buggy eyes

that looked around all in our house.

The mouse was really a cute mouse.

Elephants are really cute, too,

but we don't have an elephant

in our house.

Daddy tried to catch the mouse.

My brother chased the mouse

through every room in our house.

We didn't want to hurt the mouse.

We just wanted him out of our house.

The next day came at our house.

We looked and looked but

didn't see the mouse.

I guess the mouse left our house

when he didn't find mouse food

at our house.

So long, goodbye, cute little mouse.

I hope you find a nice mouse house.

Daphne the Dandelion

This is the story of Daphne the Dandelion. Daphne was a
weed that grew in Mr. Bigalow's front yard. She was different
and odd looking and nobody wanted her. Her leaves were dull,
not bright and shiny like the grass or dancing in the wind
like the flowers. That made Daphne sad so she just sat there
on the ground. One day, Daphne's stem began to grow.
And it grew, and it grew, and it grew. Then, almost like a
miracle, a pretty yellow bloom appeared at the top of Daphne's
stem. Now the grass and the other plants looked up to Daphne
and admired her beauty. Daphne was no longer a weed but a
cheerful yellow flower reaching for the sky. And Mr. Bigalow's
front yard was a much prettier place because of 
Daphne the Dandelion and her beautiful yellow flower.
