"THE DOOR"
My dog Truman and I wanted to go to the park. We could go through the garage, but that door is always locked. One day, I found the door was open, so me and Truman went inside. All of a sudden, we fell all the way to the ground. We got up and looked up at the door
looked around and I saw bright green grass, bushes and trees. Truman and I peeked through the bushes. As we went farther, we found a little red house. We spied through the little window. There was a little blue couch, a little green chair, a small bedroom with a red bed, a tiny gray TV, and a mini kitchen. It was like a fun house.
Then we heard a noise. It sounded like someone pushing their way through the bushes. We ran behind a bush on the side of the house. We watched from behind the bush. I had to hold Truman's mouth closed so he wouldn't bark. Then we saw him. It was a little green man holding a bucket of pears and apples.
I took out the leash without taking my eyes off the little green man. I hooked it to Truman's collar. Then Truman jumped out. I pulled back on the leash. Truman kept on barking. The little green man fell down and yelled, "get that big yellow mutt away from me!" I got Truman to calm down and said, "I'm sorry."
"It's fine," the little green man said, getting up. Then he said, "How did you get here?" "I fell through a door," I answered. Then I said, "I need to get home." "Yes," the little green man said, glaring at me.
"How?" I asked. "You'll have to defeat the Wizard Lance," the man whispered. "Who's that?" I asked, but all he said was, "come on, let's get to work." I told him my name before we sat down and came up with the most tricky and full proof plan ever.
Then we went to the Wizard's castle and found him watching TV. Truman walked over to a fish bowl. I tried to get him, but the little green man grabbed my shirt. "This is part of the plan," he said. The Wizard saw Truman and said, "get away from there!" Truman ran around to distract the Wizard, so we could do what we had to do. The little green man grabbed the remote and turned on my favorite game. When the Wizard saw us playing the game, he stopped chasing Truman and came over to see what we were doing.
"I can play that game," he said, "and I can beat both of you." "sure you can," we said, "just try it." "And if I win," I said, "you have to show me the way home." "You'll be here forever," he said. The little green man and I knew the Wizard could not win because all he ever did was sit and watch television all day. He did not know any of the game rules. When he saw he was losing, the Wizard jumped up, stomped his feet, grabbed the TV and threw it out the window. We had won, so the Wizard had to show us our way home.
He took us to the castle wall and opened a secret door. Soon the little green man and the Wizard disappeared behind the door, and Truman and I followed the path where we found the door and got home.

“LEO”
One day, a lion deep in the jungle was born. His name was Leo. He was a lion but did not act like a lion, not at all! He was always swimming and flapping his paws like a bird because he was with a baby duck named Jake. When Leo met him, he started to act just like him.
Then Jake and Leo’s parents found out and he had a hard time trying to be a lion. Leo’s brothers always made fun of him. This made him sad so one day, Leo’s mom and dad were looking for him and could not find him anywhere. Leo was lost and he wished he never ran away. Then soon, he yelled, “Help! Help!” and Jake came flying over. Leo was so happy to see him.
Jake said, “Get on my back, and I will take you to this place called the Zoo.” “What is the Zoo?” asked Leo. “I don’t know, but I always see people giving food to animals there and they seem very happy,” said Jake. “Okay, let’s go,” said Leo and away they flew. When they got there Jake said he had to go home and Leo stayed behind at the Zoo. The people there put him in the Zoo.
Then Leo found he missed his family. Jake came back to visit him and Leo wanted to go home so Jake flew him home on his back. When Leo’s mom, dad and brothers saw him, they were so happy!

“Bear Takes the Day Off”
One day there was a bear named Bear. When Bear grew up, he got a job as a mail bear. He liked his job very much. One night he thought he should take a day off so he went to bed. The next day he went and told his boss that he needs a day off. His boss thought so too, so Bear got a day off.
Bear went home and took a nap. He dreamed about himself on his day off. He went to a place called “day off land.” “Day off land” was a place full of whatever you wanted, but Bear did not know how to control it so it just happens. In Bear’s dream, he saw Rabbit. Rabbit was jumping a lot…he was very happy. He loved to play even though he was an adult. Rabbit was a great friend of Bear’s. Then Rabbit came up to Bear in his dream and said, “I’d love to talk, but I’m late for a very important date.
Then Bear saw Tiger, his other good friend. Tiger was a business tiger so he liked to wear a black suit. Tiger, just like Rabbit, came up to Bear and said, “Can’t talk, late for a very important date.”
Bear then saw his last friend Cow. Cow was famous for being the first and only cow to jump over the moon. Cow did the same thing as Tiger and Rabbit and said, “I’m late for a very important date, no time to talk. I’m late! I’m late! I’m Late!” After Cow said that, Bear shouted, “Where is everyone going?” Then he woke up and his friends were in front of him. They told him he fell asleep and that he had a dream.
