REF#_a22-1/SuzanneM.JPG

Jenny collins sat on her front porch being as bored as she'd ever been in her life when all of the sudden she remembered she needed to feed her old bunny, Fran.

She walked down the dusty path which led up to a small barn where Fran was kept. Jenny reached over to open the rusty door and managed to.

"Fran! You darn bunny." Jenny laughed," where are you?" her laughs soon turned into sobs for jenny's bunny fran was gone! Jenny told her parents and they to were sad.

Jenny went to bed with all sorts of thoughts in her mind such as-a new bunny, an exotic bird ... suddenly her thoughts were transformed into dreams and she was princsess of animal town...

"M-e-o-o-o-w!" Jenny sat upright on her bed and turned towards the clock. "6am!" Jenny grabbed her soft,pink robe and draped it over her shoulders. More thoughts were rapidly going through her head now!

She zoomed down the path and ran to the barn, in hopes fran would be there. "creakkkk!" the old door revealed the roaming neighborhood cat ,LuLu who used to always visited Fran.

" BIG DEAL!" Jenny screamed about ready to sream again, when out of nowhere apperad 3 kittens, 2 striped and one black with white spots!

Jenny, of course was overwhelmed with excitement, ran indoors to see her parents already awakened by her piercing scream. "the barn!!!!!"Jenny managed to say between gasps. Her parents stubornly followed to reveal the cats once more.

This story ends quite happily as to jenny kept one of the kittens.The smallest one with white spots. And do you know that till this day, that cat sleeps in the barn past the dusty path and we all hope it lives for many years to come.
