Strange Story - by I.K.A.

As I went to the community garden today I noticed that someone had walked through Mr. Smitty’s fresh clean grass with very muddy boots. Mr. Smitty had taken very good care of his grass and was very mad at anyone who messed it up. Oh well, I thought, at least he didn’t walk through my plot at the community garden. At least not yet. When I got to the garden I saw that something had taken the peel off my peaches! “That’s strange,” I thought. “An animal couldn’t of done it; it was too tidy. Then I heard a strange humming noise coming from my bushes. As I walked over to investigate, I heard a crunching noise under my feet. I looked down and saw that I was walking over my rhubarb!!! When I got over to the noise, I saw a raccoon handling my peaches as if they were something vital. The humming noise was Mr. Carnom mowing his lawn across the street. On my way home, I walked past Mr. Smitty’s house. He was in his front lawn, looking at the footprints and laughing. I asked him why. He said, “well, last night, before I went to bed, I noticed a deer eating my tulip bulbs that I planted so that they will sprout next year. It was a very muddy, rainy night, as you know. I went out to chase the deer away. I walked back over my front lawn and I didn’t know I left these marks. Oh well. I wonder why the rain didn’t wash them away? Oh, well, the rain was beginning to stop as I went in. it was about just misting when I got in.” so that was my day I had yesterday.
