The Potato that did a Miracle

One day a farmer was digging up his potatoes when he found it. Right in the middle of his field lay a gigantic potato. Everyone came to help him get it out of the ground. However as soon as it came out it started to roll. It rolled through the farm and into the town. It crushed cars in its way and people ran in all directions. Someone called 911 and the police came to stop it. When they tried to catch it in a net but it went right through the net. The potato rolled out of the town and headed for the city. As it was heading for the city it had to go through the forest. Where it got stuck between two trees blocking the path to the city. “Oh no” said the farmer! “We can’t get to the store in the city!” So the only way to get rid of it was to eat it. At first people didn’t mind but soon they were sick of it. The potato was getting smaller though, and soon it was gone. By then the store had only spinach left because it had not gotten a new shipment yet. But the kids didn’t care they wanted to eat spinach by the pound. So some bad things can be partly good.

I’m glad to see my friends

My Furry Friend and Me

I have a pet whose name is Stripey. He is a jumping zebra cat. He looks like a cat with a striped body, kangaroo legs and a bushy tail. His natural habitat is an Australian plain but now he lives in my backyard. One day when I was on vacation in Australia, I heard a strange noise. I came around a bush and saw this unusual creature caught in a poacher’s trap! Some people helped me release him and I decided to bring him home with me. Taking care of Stripey is a lot of work. He likes to go for long walks. We even have races and he always wins! I need to take him outside many times each day. I try to make him jump high in the air by throwing his favorite toy.His record is ten feet high. Sometimes he gets dirty and I have to give him a bath. He hates baths!Once he kicked me in the gut and it hurt. My pet eats a lot of food because he is big and has lots of energy. When we go outside, he likes to eat the grass. He also likes cat treats. For breakfast and dinner I feed him some crunchy kibble. Sometimes I give him pizza. His favorite is pepperoni. My neighbors were quite shocked the first time they saw my new pet. Now they are used to him. They like to come over with their golden lab so our pets can play together. They are glad that I have a very tall fence to keep Stripey in my yard! When I go on vacation, my neighbors like to take care of him. Everyone loves Stripey! Stripey and I have lots of fun together. We really had a great time when I took him to the zoo. He liked seeing the kangaroos and how they could jump like him. He also liked the zebras because they have stripes too.We have been together for 5 years. I am so glad that I found him. He is not just my pet; he is my best friend.
