A Scary Fun Pet
By Brittany K., 4th Grade, Wright Elementary
On one sunny day a girl named Susie. She was jumping on the trampoline. (Bounce! Bounce!) Then she heard the phone ring. (ring. ring! ring. ring!) I heard my mom sooooooo excited. Then I heard, “She will be so excited and I bet she will like it.” Hmmmmm. Who was she talking? I went inside the house to ask who she was talking to. “Mom” I said, “who were you talking to?” “Oh! It was your uncle Jimmy on the phone. He has a surprise for you.” said my mom. Then I went back outside. I wonder what the surprise is. What could it be? I can’t wait any longer! Is he coming out there or are we going there? Let me go ask. “Mom,” I said, “is he coming here?” “I can’t tell you that” said mom, “It’s a surprise.” “WHAT!!!” I said. “I’ll be outside.” Why can’t she just tell me!? Why, why, why!? Later on, I was on the swing and then I heard (Ding Dong!) Who could that be? I hurried inside the house. “Hey, hey, hey!” Uncle Jimmy is in the house!” I couldn’t believe it! It was my uncle Jimmy! “Sooooooooo,” I started to say, “Mom said you have a surprise for me.” “Your mom can’t keep secrets that much.” said uncle Jimmy. “Hey, wait a minute,” said mom, “I kept a secret for you when you wet your bed when you were 9!!” “Now lets don’t start in front of the kid.” Said uncle Jimmy. I started to giggle a little bit. Then uncle Jimmy looked at me. So did my mom. “Sorry,” I said. Then I heard a weird sound. “Uncle Jimmy, what is that noise?” I said. “Oh, I almost forgot!” my uncle said. He ran to the car and got something in a box. He open the box and he said, “It’s called a snakeadile.” “A snakeadile! Wow! I never heard that before.” I said. It had a color like a Iguana! My uncle asked me, “Do you want to hold it?” “Sure.” I said. It felt rubbery. So me and my pet went outside. We raced and we went on the trampoline. I love my pet!
