The Dog Ate My Homework
Kim woke up so happy this morning. It was Saturday, the
sun was shining, and Kim was going to meet her friends at the
park to play ball. After that, they were going to go to Jiffy Burger
for lunch. Suddenly, Kim groaned, “Oh no! I can’t go!” She had
just remembered that she was on restriction. Here’s why.
Tuesday: “Where’s your homework, Kim?” asked Mr. Hobbs.
“My dog ate it,” Kim answered.
Wednesday: “Where’s your homework, Kim?” asked Mr. Hobbs.
“My baby brother ripped it up,” Kim answered.
Thursday: “Where’s your homework, Kim?” asked Mr. Hobbs.
“It got washed down the kitchen drain,” Kim answered.
Friday: “Where’s your homework, Kim?” asked Mr. Hobbs.
“I was too sick to do homework. I needed to rest,”
Kim answered.
That’s when Mr. Hobbs called Kim’s mother on the phone.
The next thing Kim knew, her mom was at school, and Kim was
in trouble—BIG trouble. She didn’t even try to explain.
Now Kim is fi nishing last week’s homework. And she’s
thinking about what she could have been doing instead on
a sunny Saturday.

New Shoes
My shoes are new and squeaky shoes. They’re very shiny, creaky shoes. I wish I had my leaky shoes That Mother threw away.
I liked my old brown leaky shoes Much better than these creaky shoes, These shiny, creaky, squeaky shoes I’ve got to wear today.
