Happy Birthday

Kelsey Shaye Whiting, age 8 years old, was at the zoo near
“I lost my teddy
bear, Pooky,”
“Are you sure you
didn’t eat him?” asked Nermal.
“Quiet, Nermal,”
snapped
“I’ll help you find
Pooky!” said Kelsey.
Kelsey pointed to the
ground. “Look, footprints! Whoever made these may have bearnapped
Pooky.”
Kelsey and Garfield followed the footprints. “Will we find Pooky here?” Arlene asked. “I hope we don’t find a swamp creature
instead,” said Nermal.
“Arf!”
Odie barked. He wanted to play ball.
“Not now,”
“Arf!”
Odie barked again.
“Oh, all right,”
“Uh-oh! Watch out for that croc, Idie!” Kelsey shouted.
“Elephants!” Kelsey cheered.
A big mama elephant was giving her baby
a bath. The elephant sprayed water from
hertrunk, splashing Nermal. Luckily,
Garfield and Kelsey ducked just in time and didn’t get wet.
“Hey Nermal,”
“Yuck!
This is worse than Odie’s drool,” whined Nermal.
“Hey,” said
“Let’s keep
following the footprints,” Kelsey suggested. Garfield
and Kelsey walked by the
monkeys, who were swinging in the trees and eating bananas.
Nermal made a silly
face. “I look like a monkey,” he said.
A monkey squeezed a
banana in each hand. Pop! Pop! The tasty fruit shot into
“Gulp!
Gulp!” the fat cat said. “You can’t feed
the animals, but there’s no rule that says they can’t feed you!”
Suddenly, Odie
appeared, carrying the dingleball in his mouth.
“We thought the
crocodiles got you,” Arlene smirked.
“Let’s look for
Pooky in the bird sanctuary, “ Kelsey
said.
Kelsey walked with
Garfield and his friends across a rope bridge.
Brightly colored birds flew through the air. One with a wiggly worm in its beak landed on
“I think the bird
wants to share her food,” said Kelsey.
“Yuck!” exclaimed
“I filled up my
tank and I’m ready to roll,” said
“Maybe Pooky is
here by the lions,” said Kelsey.
“Rwarrr,” Nermal
let out a little roar.
“RWARRR!”
A lion let out a big roar.
Kelsey wished Noah and Josh were there to hear how loud the lion’s roar was.
“BURRRRP!”
“
“Maybe Pooky is
with the polar bears,” said Kelsey. “Let’s check it
out.”
Garfield and his
friends watched the bears swim and splash in the pool.
“Polar bears live
in the
“Fish?”
“I know where polar
bears keep their money,” Nermal said.
“Where?”
Kelsey asked.
“In
snow banks.” Nermal said with a smile.
“Let’s split up,”
said Kelsey. “We’ll meet back at the big fountain. Arlene and Nermal can look in the kangaroo
habitat, and we’ll look in the Spider and Snake House.”
“The
what?”
Just then a snake slithered down a branch and hissed, while a big
hairy spider dropped from the tree.
BONK! A big green ball bounced off
A group of seals
clapped their fins and barked happily.
“They want to
play,” Kelsey said.
“Let the games
begin,”
Kelsey tossed the ball
to Odie. The dog smacked the ball with
his big red tongue and sent it flying back to the seals.
Garfield, Kelsey and Odie met up
with Nermal and Arlene at the big fountain.
“Look!” Kelsey exclaimed. “It’s Pooky!”
Garfield and Odie’s
owner, Jon, handed the teddy bear to
“Where did you find
Pooky?” Kelsey asked.
“I didn’t find
him,” said Jon. “I guess I bearnapped
him.
“Thanks for helping
me find my bear,”
“That would be
great! I can’t wait to tell Noah and Josh about our
adventure.” replied Kelsey.
“But next time,”
The End
