Trees
 I think trees are really cool. Not only do they give us oxygen, shade, and are really tall, but they also give homes to Squirrels, birds, and worst of all bee hives. I find it fascinating how they start as a little seed then grow into huge redwoods. I don’t like how when it rains it drops down from the trees. I like the smell of some trees. I’m not sure if this counts as a tree, but I got my hair pulled by a cherry blossom before.
Ants
        I hate ants because all they do is crawl around on counters then crawl on me.  I think it is cool how they can carry something 50 times its weight.  Ants are so small, but some of them are evil. There are some types of ants that crawl up your pants and bite you…I think those are fire ants. I want to shrink down to ant size then go into their mound of dirt and see if they have mini bean-bag chair, massage chair, a hot tub. I just want to know how an ant lives.


In the Garden

I was so small even the ants were looking down at me. I was in the garden trying to move without a sound. I could not see anything beyond the tulips or past the weeds. The ants were cornering me against the door swinging their weapons everywhere. The leader has asparagus and his crew armed with broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and artichokes. I could hear them whispering among themselves.
Bob said “I vote we take her to the queen!”
Jo said “Lets use the lettuce cannons! I’ve always wanted to fire one”
“NO… We can’t use the cannons until they attack us!” responded Bob.  
“Why don’t we just follow the orders from the king and make her eat all of her vegetables/ without feeding any /to the dog / under the table.” I was walking backwards when I fell among the cabbages. Then when the broccoli was almost in my mouth, I got up in a rush and ran along the fence. That is when I realized it was all just a figment of my imagination… my mom was just telling me to eat my greens.
