The
City and Country Iguana
by
Matt Low
Once when
I went on a joyful vacation to the Golapogos island I heard some people
talking, talking about the difference between the native Marien Iguana. That
lonely night lying down I had a dream, a dream I was one of those iguanas.
I'm lying down in the lush, green grass, I wonder how's my brother. I'll pay
him a visit. The next few days I spent eating, sleeping, and sun bathing.
On the
fourth day I set out on my long, treacherous, journey across the sea. In a
few hours I made it however, it was rocky and hilly not like my place grassy
and flat. Suddenly a humongous, dominate male pops out and says, "This
is my territory back off, or duel." I noticed a scar, a scar I made
when I was a kid. I did a death roll and scarred his back leg. "Duel or
die!" he said. "Brother I'm you little brother, the one who did
the death roll and scarred your leg remember?" I said. "Well"
he said "Glad you told me cause I was about to shred you up."
"I'm hungry, do you have something that I could eat?"
"Yes." he replied. That night for dinner we had crustaceans, sea
gull, and sea gull eggs. It was unusual dinner. The next morning he said,
"I want to see your place, can we go to it." "Sure, its far
away but lets go!" When we got there we ate a half hot dog, funnel
cake.
Soon
we fell asleep. Early the next morning I woke up, he my brother was gone. I
ran out to ask the others! They said, "He left without telling any one,
I guess." Suddenly I was rudely woken up by my dog. That morning I told
my family at breakfast about my dream. Later we went to go feed the iguanas,
one had a scar on its back leg.

The
Country Rabbit and the City Rabbit
by
Caitlin Little
One day
the city rabbit was playing with his friends and started thinking of his
brother. Country rabbit. City rabbit's brother was also thinking about his
brother. So city rabbit started packing his bags and headed off to the
country to meet his brother that lived in the country. After about two
hours, city rabbit got tired of hopping so instead of hopping more he
decided to rest, even though he promised himself he would be there in two
days. On the other hand, while City Rabbit was resting, Country Rabbit was
out in his huge garden picking carrots and heads of lettuce for dinner.
After City Rabbit awoke he was ready to hop some more so off he went. By
night fall city rabbit was tired so he went to sleep. The next morning the
bright yellow sun awoke city rabbit and before you could say "Country
Rabbit" he was on his way. By afternoon he had reached Country Rabbit's
house. Although there was no doorbell, he was still excited. Country Rabbit
answered the door and to his surprise City Rabbit was already hugging
Country Rabbit and unpacking at the same time. After awhile they both sat
down quietly and started talking. Suddenly country rabbit asked "Would
you like to have some dinner?" Sure replied City Rabbit. Good we are
having carrots, lettuce, milk, and old dried up roots. "ROOTS?"
Screamed City Rabbit. "I'm sorry but I just can't eat roots."
"Why don't you come to my place" replied City Rabbit? "It's
fun, you can meet my friends and have lots of lessons on jumping rope."
"Well, ok," said Country rabbit. "I guess I will take a
chance." So they helped each other pack their bags and started hopping
there way down the road. The next day they reached the city. There were lots
of people and cars also roads. The big buildings and the loud music scared
Country rabbit but he had a feeling they were almost to city Rabbits house.
Finally they had reached his house. He opened the door and it was a huge
mess. Country Rabbit was very disappointed and so he left with the door
slamming behind him and that is the story of the City Rabbit and the Country
rabbit which are not that similar.

The
Country Squirrel and the City Squirrel
by
Jennifer Listerman
One day a
tiny squirrel named Frisky was walking alongside the same gravel road that
he always does. When he was walking he saw some yummy roots and berries to
eat even though he already had some. However he wanted some more so if any
guests came over he would have enough food. After that he went home to have
a nice picnic under his old oak tree. But when he got home his phone started
to ring. Frisky said, "Hello." "Hello," said his cousin
Bushy. Frisky started talking about how they were the reverse and what they
have in common. Then Frisky asked Bushy if he would like to come to the
country. Bushy said, "Yes." While Bushy was making his way to the
country he saw a big hairy dog. The dog spotted him and chased Bushy into a
big hollow log. Bushy was safe in the log unless the dog rolled it. After a
while the dog left. Bushy was scratched up as well as bruised, on the other
hand it was better than being eaten. Bushy thought about his cousins snug
home in the old oak tree which was unlike his home in the old warehouse that
was shared with several friends. It was starting to get dark, Frisky was
worried that Bushy had not arrived. Just as Frisky was about to go look for
him, Bushy peeked through the window and said, "Hello!" Frisky
rushed to the door and said, "Come in." So Bushy came in the door.
Then he thought to himself is this what he always wears. After that Frisky
asked Bushy if he wanted some dinner. When he saw what was for dinner he
thought city food was much better. So after dinner Bushy asked Frisky if he
wanted dessert in the city. They rode a log down the stream to the city.
They got off the log and scurried across the road. When they got to the
other side Frisky said to Bushy, "My tail almost got ran over!" As
they were digging in the garbage behind a cafe a person dumped garbage on
top of there heads. Frisky said, "Never mind the dessert. I'm going
home. The City is too dangerous!"

The
City Squirrel and the Country Squirrel
by
Aaron Lasater
Once apon
a time there were two cousin squirrel, one that lived in the loud city and
the other that lived in the quit country. One day, the country squirrel
decided to go see his lovely cousin. He quickly traveled to his cousin's
house. After an hour or two he reached his precious cousins house. At his
cousin's house there wasn't enough food for the country squirrel and the
city squirrel so they had to find more nuts, pecans, and berries. While they
were sitting on the ground a gigantic dog quickly pounced toward them and
they ran up the tree. "That was too close!" said the country
squirrel. "Lets go to my house. There is lots of food. You get to see
how your camouflaged." So the two of them slowly set out to the
country. When they got there they had to hide quick because there was a
hunter. The country squirrel hid on a log while the city squirrel hid in the
log. The hunter walked by. All of a sudden, a coyote came out from behind a
tree. They ran quickly up a tree. Country squirrel laughed at the coyote.
There was a gun shot. Country squirrel had to duck quickly. "It is too
dangerous here. I'm going home," said city squirrel. He said he would,
so they sat down and ate a delicious meal. City squirrel said, "Its
time for me to go home." A few days after he got home, a different
squirrel showed up at his door. He said, "Your cousin is dead."
"No, it can't be." "Yes, it can." "Tell me how it
happened." "It first started when a coyote was chasing him so he
laughed at the coyote. The coyote ran away. He didn't know that the hunter
was there. The hunter pointed his gun at him and pulled the trigger and your
cousin fell to the ground." That is the end of "The City Squirrel
and the Country Squirrel."

Country
Elephant and Zoo Elephant
by
Tucker Jacobs
One day a
country elephant called his cousin in the zoo and asked him to come to his
house and see how he likes the country. He gleefully agreed to come at once.
The country elephant thought that his cousin might need a little help
getting there so he happily met him at the corner of the country road. After
about 5 minutes the zoo elephant came strolling along and as soon as he saw
his cousin he hugged him and asked, "What are we going to eat?"
"Well, let's go see cousin," said country elephant. They came to a
gigantic tree where they couldn't reach the leaves. The country elephant
charged at it and in one mighty shove the tree fell down. The country
elephant began eating the lush, green leaves but the zoo elephant not
wanting to hurt his cousins feelings nibbled on the leaves. After eating
they layed down and looked at the dark, night sky. The zoo elephant was
getting bored and finally he said, "Is this all you ever do?"
"Yes." The zoo elephant said, "Why don't you come to the zoo
with me. There the food is rich and the crowds that come there can admire us
too." So the two cousins walked to the zoo. When they got there they
went to the elephant cage and peacefully fell asleep. In the morning the zoo
elephant woke his cousin and asked him if he slept good. The elephant slowly
replied, "Is the ground always this hard?" Later that day the
crowds started pouring into the zoo and they all said the same thing which
was, "Look at the huge elephants!" The crowd started throwing
peanuts at them. Well the country elephant didn't like that at all. He ran
to the back of the cage and stayed there. That night he said he would rather
eat leaves and lay on soft grass unlike laying on hard cement as well as
have peanuts thrown at me. So the two cousins said their good-byes and left.
That is the story of the country elephant and the zoo elephant.

The
Country Opossum and the City Opossum
by
Kevin Higby
Once
there was a nice opossum, and he lived in a huge garage. He said, "I'm
going to visit my brother Zac." So he set off on his long journey to
his brothers house on the other side of Texas. The very first day he
traveled fifty miles, but he couldn't find anywhere that he could stay.
Finally, he reached the Grand Prix Hotel, and he got a room. Even though it
was not like home, or the same, he loved it. The next day, his bill was four
rocks. That's four hundred dollars human life. Then, next he got to the
village and looked up his brothers address. Then he knocked on his brothers
door. He said, "Come in." Next he said, "I'm going to stay
for a few weeks." The first night they had corn, apples, and carrots.
Even though he didn't like it, he didn't want to hurt his brother's
feelings, so he nibbled at it a little bit. They slept in a trash can,
though the city opossum was proud of making it. So the next day, he said,
"Would you like to go to my house? If you don't want to, that's
ok." But he said "yes." While he waited for his brother to
pack he thought about how they were unlike each other. So, they set off to
his house and they got there at nine p.m. Then he unpacked and they had cat
food and steak for dinner. But the city opossum only nibbled on it. Later,
they sat down and talked about how their lives are similar and what they
have in common.

The
Country Raccoon and the City Raccoon
by
Tessa Hatcher
Once upon
a time there were two raccoon cousins. One lived in the city, the other
lived in the country. They were not that much different. But the country
raccoon has never been to the city and the city raccoon has never been to
the country. Instead they liked it right where they were. One hot and dry
day the rowdy city raccoon named Crisky politely called and asked the calm
country raccoon named Nabisco if she could come to his big brown tree for a
visit. Since he missed her so much the country raccoon quickly accepted. She
excitedly looked forward to see her rowdy cousin. In the same way she really
wanted to see her cousin's house. So she gently packed up all her
comfortable clothes and all her things she needed for a very long and
exciting trip. Then she found a newspaper and saw how to get there. It was a
gigantic newspaper. It showed that there was a train leaving at two-o-clock
on Fifth Street train number 118. She could tell time and there was a
colorful clock in the peaceful loft on the first floor. So she knew when to
go to Fifth Street to catch the train number 118. When she got there she
jumped on the train and headed towards the country. When she arrived, she
asked another polite raccoon if he knew where a raccoon named Nabisco lived.
He finally answered and he said, "Yes he lives on Timberwood
Drive." Then Crisky ran as fast as she could to go to her favorite
cousin Nabisco. Then when she got there they played tag and it was so fun.
After that they played hide and seek. Then Nabisco said, "Let's go pick
berries from trees." Crisky accepted and off they went to find berries
and fruits. Then Crisky said, "You go through all this trouble just to
get food? Let's go to my place in the city and I'll show you an easier way
to get food." So Nabisco said, "Okay I guess so." So off they
went to the city. Then Crisky asked if Nabisco would like to play in the
city trash cans. Nabisco said yes and off they went to play in the city
trash cans. Both of them loved the smell of the trash can. Unless they are
full they don't even want to go into the city trash cans. After that they
colored then they played Go Fish. While they were playing cards they heard a
loud noise that sounded like a person. They got scared and went to the city
raccoon's trash can. Then when they were in the trash can the country
raccoon said, "I don't like it here I want to go home." So Crisky
said, "Goodbye" and off Nabisco went back to his country tree.
Although Nabisco liked his cousin Crisky he would much rather live in the
peaceful country.

The
City Cat and the Country Cat
by
Vicky Flores
In a town
called New York there lived a black cat called Elvis. Elvis was a tall and
slim cat. He was a real happy cat. One fine day he received a letter from
his cousin Laura. (Laura was a white plump cat.) And the letter read:
"Dear Elvis, I miss you a lot and I was wondering if you could come
over? Yours truly, Laura." When Elvis read this he jumped for joy. He
danced skillfully all the way to his house. As soon as he got home Elvis
started to pack. He happily packed his toys and his clothes and merrily
started his long journey to the country. After a couple of hours, Elvis
finally arrived at the shabby old place. Laura was outside and greeted him
excitedly. She was so happy to see her big cousin. "Elvis, Elvis I'm so
glad to see you," she said. "I'm glad to see you too," said
Elvis. After they walked for about five minutes they came to a little old
house. Laura crawled inside a little crack under the porch. Elvis followed.
Elvis was surprised at what he saw it was not the same as his nice cat coop.
Instead it was the reverse of his cat coop. The floor was made out of dirt
and hard mud. Her bed was just a simple hole in the ground. However Laura
was proud of her little old house. Later that lovely day they had dinner.
For dinner they had one dead mouse each. Elvis could not bare to eat the
pour mouse especially because he was used to Fancy Feast Cat Food. Elvis
could not stand it anymore so he asked Laura if he could go home, but he
would ask Laura to go with. Of course Laura said Yes! The next day they went
to the city. As soon as they got to the Cat Coop Laura was in awe. They went
inside the grand doors. Elvis's bed was like a human bed and his floor was
made out of slick tile. Of course, that night they had fancy feast cat food
and it tasted nasty to Laura. Laura did not like the city so she left. She
decided she would rather live in the country than the city.

City Dog and the Country Dog
by
Jeff Cervantes
Once upon
a time, there were two small puppy brothers. They were separated from their
mom and dad at birth. One lived in the big city. The other lived in the
mysterious wild forest. They both looked very similar and they both have a
lot in common like they both favor the color red, and they both have the
same color fur, black. One day the city dog was in his house eating
miniature pieces of chicken, when he decided that he wanted to visit his
brother in the country. After he ate he grabbed his leash and quickly set
off. When he arrived at his brothers the country dog greeted. As soon as the
city dog walked in he was very unhappy because he only had a bed, table, and
a kitchen. The country dog said "How about having some lunch?" The
city dog said "O.K." What are we having said the city dog.
Probably deer, or whatever we can find. City dog was not listening, because
he was looking at all the trees through the window. So next they set off
through the woods. City dog asked, "Is there a restaurant down here
because I'm getting stickers on my feet." The country dog said,
"What's a restaurant?" City dog said, "What do you mean we
are going to a restaurant, aren't we?" "We're going hunting."
"Hunting!!" yelled the city dog. I hate hunting. The city dog
said, "NO, NO, NO brother let's go to the city and I'll show you what I
eat." It was late so they went back to country dogs house and went to
bed hungry. The next morning they went to the city and went to a very fancy
restaurant so fancy that they could not pronounce it. They walked in and ate
lots of Chinese food. When they walked out a big huge car zoomed by and all
of a sudden you heard a loud bark. Country dog got his leg hit. The city dog
cried, "Are you ok?" The country dog said, "I'm a little hurt
but I'll be ok. When the country dog got up and was alright he said, "I
think I want to go home." So country dog went on home. The end.

Nicole Baez
Dear
Rabbit, the country rabbit wrote on her friendly letter. Just then the phone
rang loudly. "Hello," said the country rabbit. Hi said the city
rabbit. "I just wanted to see what's happening." Both the rabbits
were going to surprise each other by going to their house. So they set off
but the city rabbit had to trick her owner to let her go. When the bus stop
came they stayed low to the floor so the other would not see them. The
country and city rabbits were right behind each other! Soon the city rabbit
got off at the farm. And not until a long time the country rabbit got off.
The country rabbit had a funny feeling about coming over in the city. Bam
the door opened. Oh Bebe I missed you. Suddenly the country rabbit looked
like a city rabbit. They lived being country, city. For a very long time,
they liked it can you believe that. There are a lot of differences said the
city rabbit. Like eat or having to where clothes. A week they liked their
houses and where they lived. But they got tired. They got on the bus and
they sat next to each other. And both said what are you doing here. And they
told their long stories to each other. The end.

The
City Fox and the Country Fox
by
Brittany Miller
Once upon
a time there was a city fox and a country fox. They were cousins but they
were also friends. They loved to play softly with each other in their
dreams. But they could not play together in real life because they lived far
apart from each other. One fox lived in the city and the other one lived in
the country. The city fox's name was Mary and the country fox's name was
Vixy. They were young pups. One day Mary sent a note to Vixy. It said,
"Dear cousin, I was wondering when I would see you, so I thought maybe
you would like to see me at my place, in the city. Love, Mary." Well
Vixy was so excited the she ran to her room. She ran so fast it looked like
she flew. When she got there she took the black suitcase hiding under her
red bed and packed up to go to the large city. When she was all packed up
she called Mary and asked were she lived. Vixy swiftly wrote down the
address of her cousin's house. She grabbed the note, dropped it in her
pocket and ran out the door on her way to the city. When she arrived there
Vixy was amazed that the city was gigantic. She walked out of the fluffy
bushes and saw a bone chilling dog. Vixy was scared half to death when that
dog came right at her. She flew past all the traffic in search of a hiding
spot. Finally, Vixy lost the dog and found her self at the cousin's house.
Mary was baking a cake then she wrote in blue letters. "Welcome to the
City." It was the biggest cake Vixy has ever seen. "Let's go on a
walk," said Mary. So the two foxes walked together across the street
and all of a sudden a truck came and barely caught Vixy's tail. "Oh my
tail just got run over," she cried. "I want to go home. Would you
like to come with me." "If you really want me to come with you I
will," said Mary. So they gracefully skipped to the country. First
thing they did was to go on a picnic. But Mary had a problem with the red
ants because they stung her on her legs. Also, she couldn't climb heavy
rocks as well as her cousin. "Ug, I'm dirty I need to take a
bath," said Mary. "Let's go to the refreshing lake and take a cool
bath there," Vixy said. "I don't want to take a bath there. I want
to take it in clean water," said Mary. So they said their good-byes and
the city fox left for the, well for city of course.

The
Country Dog and the City Dog
by
Eric Story
There
were two brothers. One was the country dog, and the other one was the city
dog. The city dog wrote a letter to his brother in the country. It said:
"Dear Brother, I want to see you sometime this week. Come to my house
on Friday. P.S. I miss you very much. Love, brother." So the country
brother packed all of his toys, and his lucky doggy bones and jumped quickly
to his brother's house. When he got to his brother's house the country dog
said, "What are we going to eat?" The city dog replied,
"We're going to eat corn on the cob, and some ribs, and a bowl of fresh
water." So they both ate all of the food. But the city brother said do
you want to go to all of the stores. Ok, replied the country dog. So they
went and it was very noisy for the country dog. I want to go to my house, do
you want to come with me? Ok replied the city dog. So they both quickly
jumped all the way to the country. They both had the same food like the
city. But when they ate all the food they went hiking for wildlife. They saw
Eagles, snakes, hawks, lizards, fish, and some horn lizards. The city dog
liked the country. So the city dog said, I want to live with you. Ok, said
the country dog. He replied yes you can and they lived happy ever after.

The
City Dog and the Country Dog
by
Jessica Tilra
Once upon
a time there was a chubby country boxer dog and a beautiful city poodle.
However they were cousins and had never seen each other because they lived
in two different places. So one day the country dog wrote a short letter
with his paw to his cousin Annabell. He wrote, "Dear Annabell, Hi!
Would you like to visit me? Unless you are too busy. Please write back.
Love, Hank." Annabell was so excited she wrote her letter that said,
"Dear Hank, Hi! I'm going to come to your house. Love, Annabell."
Annabell was out of her house in a flash. While Annabell was still finding
Hanks house Hank was sleeping like a baby. When Annabell got to Hanks house
and saw that he was asleep she was surprised with all of the excitement.
When Hank woke up he saw Annabell and was so scared he fell out of his
rocker. Annabell helped Hank to his feet but instead of falling back asleep
Hank took Annabell around his house. When Annabell sat down she got dirt on
her puffy tail. Also when she sat down she got a sticker in her paw. She
really did not like his house. Annabell could not stand it so Annabell said,
"I can't stand it anymore." So finally Annabell left the country
after she got the sticker out of her foot. Hank was really sorry about what
happened, so he wrote a sorry letter and asked for her forgiveness. Her next
letter came in about a week and gave him forgiveness. Also she invited her
boxer cousin dog to come over and stay with her for a while. Hank was on his
way to the city, but he did not write a letter because he wanted to surprise
her. When Hank got to the city he had to crossover many highways to find
Annabells huge house. Hank had to go through a tiny dog door to get to
Annabell. She had a humongous house that had a water dish made of gold. She
had a dream come true. It took forever to climb the stairs. Hank really
liked where Annabell lived because what more could a dog want. When Annabell
saw Hank Annabell jumped out of her hair salon area. Annabell slowly gave a
tour around her house that took one whole hour. Even though after dinner
Hank was kinda feeling homesick he thought awhile and knew what to say. He
went to his poodle cousin Annabell and said peacefully, "Annabell I
can't stay here. I don't deserve all these luxury and poodles get this
luxury not boxers." "O.K." said Annabell, "Let's just
write."

The
Country Pigeon and the City Pigeon
by
Cody Renken
One day
there were two pigeon cousins. One lived in the country and the other in the
city. They had never seen each other before. However, they wanted to see
each other's house. So the Country Pigeon called the City Pigeon with his
loud chirping noises. The City Pigeon heard the noises and quickly flew to
see his house. It was very small in the hollow of an oak tree and hidden in
the dark woods. Country Pigeon had been gathering worms and insect for a
long time so that City Pigeon would feel at home. When he arrived, they were
ready to eat so they sat in the comfortable nest. Suddenly, City Pigeon saw
what was for dinner. He almost gagged. This food isn't the same as the food
in the city. There's food everywhere such as seeds and bread from the park,
scraps of food such as, fish and mice. But not to be rude, he nibbled a
little here and there. Then the City Pigeon asked, "Do you want to come
to my house for dinner?" The Country Pigeon said, "Yes."
While they were flying high in the sky they were getting shot at. The City
Pigeon couldn't wait to get to the city, because he was not use to bullets
flying by. Even though deadly bullets were flying, they escaped the danger.
When they arrived Country Pigeon couldn't believe all of the food such as,
bread and seeds. Both of them were eating peacefully when the naughty
children came and chased them away. The Country Pigeon was so scared he flew
all the way home. In the end they found out that instead of being similar
they were very unalike and felt fine where they lived. The City Pigeon hated
the country because of the bullets, and the Country Pigeon hated the city
because it was so crowded. That's the story of the Country Pigeon and the
City Pigeon.

lived in the city well. They both were cousins. City ant immediately called
him on the phone and said "Cousin come and enjoy the city with
me." Country ant said "Okay." So country ant carefully and
slowly packed all of his clothes and some food just in case he gets hungry
on the way. Country ant said to himself "I will miss my old cozy house
while I am at city ant's house." Country ant was excited because he was
going to see his cousin. Country ant tried to fly but the suitcases were too
heavy. So country ant decided to walk very slowly to the city. When he was
getting tired as my dad does when he gets home from work. Finally country
ant arrived at the city but he was so tired he couldn't keep on going so he
stopped. City ant walked by the street and found country ant laying down on
the sidewalk. City ant ran up to him and said, "Are you dead?"
Country ant said "No I am just very tired because of these
suitcases." So city ant helped country ant carry his suitcases. When
they got to the city ant's house, a hole in the kitchen wall, they unload
country ant's clothes. They were both hungry so city ant fed country ant
some cake crumbs. Country ant thought it was nasty. Country ant and city ant
took a warm shower. Country ant decided to go to sleep a little bit earlier
because he was so tired. Country ant couldn't go to sleep because there were
lights and noise everywhere but city was fast asleep. The next morning
country ant so tired he couldn't even eat his breakfast. Country ant asked
if he could go to sleep in the day time. When he woke up he said to his
cousin "Do you want to come to my house?" City ant said
"Sure." So they loaded country ants things and also loaded up city
ants things and off they went. When they got to country ants house they were
both hungry. They had country ants favorite, bread, but city ant hated
bread. So city ant wasn't hungry after all. It was about 8:00 p.m. so they
took a shower and of course went to bed. City ant was very very tired but
couldn't go to sleep because it was too quiet, and pitch black but country
ant was fast asleep. In the morning they went outside and they saw a person
looking for trouble. In his hand was ant spray. They went just a bit closer
to make sure that it was ant spray, sure it was. City ant was very scared.
When he said that he was scared they both ran inside. City ant wanted to go
home so bad. So thats when he ran out side to go home and he didn't even
care about his clothes.

The
City Elephant and the Country Elephant
by
Darryl Adkins
There
once was a city elephant and a country elephant and they had never seen each
other. So the city elephant sent a letter that said "Dear country
elephant would you like to come to my house in the city. If you do right
back to me love your cousin." So he quickly and excitedly wrote back.
But he did not know how to get there. So he asked a black bird named Freddy
if he new where city elephant's house is and he finally said yes I do he
lives on Pipit Drive. So he set off down the sunny, dirt road. He was wise
to wear his new running shoes. So he was happily walking down the road into
the city. When he got to the city he looked for a sign that said Pipit
Drive. And he looked for along time and he finally found it. So he set off
walking into the zoo. Finally he found it and his cousin was waiting for him
and when they saw each other they sat and started to talk about when they
last met. When they stopped talking they in farther to city elephant's
house. Now they were both hungry so they went to the hayloft and ate some
hay until they were full. And now they were tired so they layed down and
said good night and then it was quiet. And then in the morning they woke up
and ate some golden hay. Then the zoo opened up and people crowded in and
said look at those huge elephants. Then a man with a whip came out and
started to whip them and the country elephant didn't like that and neither
did the zoo elephant. They both ran at the door and with a thud the door
fell down. They ran through the city without looking back until they came to
the country where they both stayed. The End.
