Romeo and Juliet spent their days eating grass.

Lots of grass!

Then one day Juliet said,“I’m tired of eating grass and living in a barn.”

“What do you want to do?”asked Romeo.

“I want to live in a house and eat cake!” said Juliet.

“That sounds like fun!”said Romeo.

“Let’s go!”

So they packed their suitcaseswith their favorite things.

Lots of things!

And they moved into a cute, little house.

Then Romeo and Juliet unpacked their suitcases.

When it was time for bed,Romeo cuddled with his favorite blankey.

And Juliet snuggled with her stuffed animals.

“Cake!” said Juliet.

The next morning Romeo said, “What’s for breakfast?”

“But we don’t have any cake,” said Romeo.

“Oh no!” said Juliet.

Then they heard a tiny knock at the door.

At their doorstep sat a little dogand a big cake.

“Welcome to the neighborhood!”said the little dog.

“I hope you like cake.”

“Yipeeeee!” said Juliet.

“That’s just what we wanted!” said Romeo.

Romeo and Juliet invited their new friend Cheeka to eat cake.

Lots of cake!

“Our new house sure feels like home,”said Juliet.

“And thanks to Cheeka and the big cake,” said Romeo,

“it’s home sweet home.”

The End.

Besides making books, Romeo and Juliet paint with brushes in their mouths. They love to paint. All the paintings in the book were painted by Romeo and Juliet. They are both Paso Fino horses.
