April Fool's Day Fun
- by Emily B. (age 9)
This is a picture of my cat named Emily. She hates mice. I think she has a beautiful salmon colored nose and long whiskers. Emily is gray like clouds and has black stripes kind of like a tiger. My cat is playful but on some days she can be really lazy. She usually claws at my older sister who is 14, but is always sweet around me. Emily loves to catch mice in my backyard or in my garage at about 1:00 in the morning. My name is Harry and Emily is my best friend.
Today is April Fool's. I want someone to trick but I don't even want to try tricking my mean older sister. My mom and dad are spending the night at a hotel and my best human friend is at his grandma's. So the only person left to fool was...Emily. I went out in the forest behind my house to get the kind of mice she hates the most, baby mice. I came back with 4 baby mice and put them in my old hamster cage. Then, I put the hamster cage with the 4 baby mice under my bed, where Emily always goes after I'm done with my dinner.
When I was done with my dinner, I went upstairs and waited for Emily to follow. Once Emily got under the bed I unlocked the cage and got my camera ready. Then, I heard a loud screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech! When she got out from under the bed, I laughed so hard and then took this photo. But something really weird happened. Emily didn't attack the mice, she started cuddling with them. So I had no choice but to keep the baby mice. So every time she usually was catching mice she would cuddle with them.
