It had six legs, four eyes, and twelve feet. This made her so scared that s h e jumped out of her shoes in a closet. Here, she found h e r daddy’s body. She took it home and never went in another dead man’s house all her life. Donna Moore The Talking Picture My aunt painted a picture of my great grandfather. One day, I was lonely. I started talking to myself. All at once, I heard someone speaking to me. I did not know who it was. I was startled. Finally, I ]ooked{ at the picture. Sure enough, great grandfather was talkingl to me. From that time on when I was lonely, I talked to that picture. Rosemary Few l Once there was a dog named Frisky who could make pan cakes. He would flatten theml by sitting on them. Afterwards, he would put on high heel shoes and go to the! store to get one pound of ba nanas. i The funniest thing about him as he lay in the bed, suddenly, he would start walking in his sleep. He woke up one morning on top of a flag pole and could not get down. The crows were very kind to him. Two took him by the ears and four took his legs. Carefully, they put himi on the ground.
