Mary Poppins the Turtle and Elvis the parrot are having a conversation…. but about what?Animals can communicate, but we can’t understand.But can they understand us?We don’t fully understand them.Maybe they talk through their minds!Can they see thru walls?Whatever it is they say…. we love them.Unless they are saying…’we should hatch a plan so we can escape”

This sloth called Lotus was found on someones porch in the Bronx.While the people went to call the animal patrol, the sloth crossed the street and went straight to a post across the street.When the people came out they saw lotus across the street holding on.Just then the animal patrol came.

They took the sloth off and saw that there was a piece of pizza next to him with a lot of bite marks on it.The animal patrol people took the Sloth to a vet and they said that Lotus was eating a lot of human food… but he was fine.Then they took her to Brazil where a lot of other Sloths live.Now Lotus is living happily in the trees of Brazil, but he misses his pizza!

You would think that a friendship with a baby tiger & an orangutang would be strange, but it’s true.These 2 cute animals met when they were just born & they are still friends. Spot & Chloe love going to the beach together. They love sitting in the sand & building sandcastles. This odd friendship is one of the most powerful friendships in the world.One day some nice lady found them on the beach and took them to the zoo. When they got there the lady said “ Can you keep Chloe & Spot in the same place?” The zookeeper said “ of course” So the zookeeper got a big box for Chloe & Spot. They were the most pop-ular animals in the zoo. Spot & Chloe were happy living in the zoo, and lived there for the rest of their lives.

Why should we be kind to animals? by Rahman AhmedLike in the circus, we capture animals and train them. Like lions, they whip them really hard and we should be kind to them. What about elephants? They train them to walk on “Little balls”. What if they flatten the ball! And the Giraffes…don’t forget about the giraffes. They make the giraffes do holahoops on their necks. We should treat them the way we treat ourselves.

a catcus.

Duck walks into a store… asks the manager,

“do you have any Grapes? “the manager answers… NO!

The duck walks out and comes back in a few minutes. He asks the manager again….

“Do you have any grapes?” the manager answers….. NO!The duck comes back again & again asks… “Do you have any grapes?”The manager is getting annoyed….If you ask me one more time “I’ll nail your beak to the door”

Duck comes in again & asks “do you have a hammer & nails ?”

The owner says “NO” The duck asks “well do you have any

Grapes?”

We have to be kind to animals because we destroy their homes at times and kill them for things like purses and leather clothes.by Helena Zhang
