The Imaginary Rose
Once upon a time there was a imaginary rose.  THere lived a little girl named Sarah Beth that was about four years old.  Sarah Beth always dreamed of one rose not a ordinary rose, a imaginary rose.  Sarah Beth didn't tell anyone about her dream rose. Sarah Beth grew older. She always looked for the rose but never found it.  Sarah Beth went to high school.  Every body made fun of her look except for one boy named Alex.  After school, Sarah Beth and Alex walked to Alex's house to study.  THey were walking in the grass and Sarah Beth decided to tell Alex about the rose.  One day Alex and Sarah Beth were walking to school and Sarah Beth tripped on a rock and right in front of her she saw her dream rose.  She put it in her locker for school.  After school Sarah Beth walked home and put the rose in a vase of water and kept it there for a long time.  Awhile later Sarah Beth went thru four long years of college.  Sarah Beth became a teacher.  Sarah Beth and Alex got married.  Sarah Beth wore the rose in her hair.  Sarah and Alex had three kids.

My Own Little Birds
Right outside my window is  a next full of baby birds and a mommy Robin.  THe birds hatched this morning.  Mommy bird is going in and out of the tree to get the babies food.  I look outside my windows mommy robin is on her nest keeping her little ones snug.  I open my window and hear the birds chirping with no stop.  Daddy bird is out looking for food.  Robins eggs are bright blue.  The babies ate all their food and now it is time for a little snooze.  There are two birds.  When mommy or daddy comes to feed them they put there beaks up and chirp chirp chirp.  THe birds are brown.  IT is so fun to watch them sing and play.  Have you ever seen a baby bird before?
