Hello Marie Here!!!</h2><h2>
(____ That means any name you would like)</h2>
I walked into my room and flopped on my bed. "____ Come here please" My mom called for me. I got off my bed and walked toward the kitchen. I sniffed the air "Smells good mom" I said to her. She smiled at me and handed me my plate. I looked down at the food. <em>Cornbread, chicken wings and water</em> I thought. Once I got finished, I walked back into my room and called my best friend ____. "Hello, Hello?" _____ Said. "Hi, I was wondering if you would like to go in the woods and look around?" I asked her. "You just moved here. You sure?" ____ said. "I'm sure" I said while getting dressed for the woods.
I walked out of the door, as ____ ran up to me "Hello, Hello ____" She said to me. I waved at her. We walked into the woods.<em> Ooh</em> AND <em>Ahh</em>. We would say when we saw colorful birds. But then A wolf came up to us growling. I backed up and acted big, while backing up. When I got back to my house I was exhausted, but relieved that I wasn't hurt.
Hope This Helps! Have A GREAT Day!
