Michael Recycle

Once upon a time, there was a town called Pleasantville.  There were unwanted soda cans everywhere and it was unfair to the animals that there was pollution in to live in polluted habitats.  Smelly garbage was making the town people unhappy and hard to breathe.
One day, a superhero named Michael Recycle flew over Pleasantville.  His mission was to help the town people recycle objects such as newspaper, cans, and glass.  He wanted people to recall what the town looked like before pollution started, so he showed them a picture of a clean town and said,"Can you do it? Yes, you can!"
The town people agreed to recycle items to clean up the town.  They were uncertain if they could do a good job but they all pitched in.  They used precut boxes to store soda cans.  The Mayor collected and unloaded stacks of newspapers at the recycling center.  Everyone put food scraps into compost bins that they built in their backyard.  When there were any recycling chores left undone, the Mayor completed them.
Michael Recycle  was proud of the people's efforts.  He gave a pictre of the clean and beautiful Pleasantville to the town people.  The town people shouted with delight, "Thank you, Michael Recycle! We promise to reuse, reduce, and recycle in Pleasantville!"

This is a picture of Candy.  This afternoon, we got her from a person who lives in Bedford.  She is now living in a cage in our kitchen.  She is black, 2-3 years old, and nervous about her new environment.

Juno the Artist

There once lived an artist who liked to draw with colored pencils.  His name was Juno and his dream was to become an illustrator for a book.
One morning, Juno decided to bring his supplies and drawing pad to the backyard to draw an Oak Tree. His dog started to bark at a bird.  Suddenly, it started to rain after he set up his drawing pad.  Thunder made a sharp sound that startled Juno.  He quickly brought his supplies inside the house.   He looked at the storm outside and thought, "Maybe first, I can watch my favorite sports program on T.V. while it rains." After a while, Juno finally decided to draw a sports scene.  After two hours, his hand was sore from drawing so he poured himself a glass of lemonade.
Two months later, a famous writer who wrote books for young adults asked Juno, "Can you be my new books' illustrator?"  Juno was surprised by this request and answered, "Yes, I will be happy to do so."
When the book was published, Juno was elated that his dream came true.
