This week you are going to use a story starter to complete the weekly blog. Remember, when you tell a story you include setting, developed characters, problem and solution. We have also been working figurative language in the form of similes, metaphors, and personification. You need to use at least one example of figurative language in the telling of your story.
As always, it needs to be 6-7 sentences in length and use correct capitalization and punctuation. The story starter is as follows:
"I know animals aren't supposed to talk, but I could tell right away that these were different..."

I know animals aren't supposed to talk, but I could tell right away that these were different...
It all started when my mom took me to the zoo. First we went to see the gorillas. Soon after we got there Mom went to go get something to drink. That's when it got weird. "Hey, you up there." I heard. I looked around to see who it was but it looked as if nobody wanted my attention. "Down here girl." I looked down at my shoes, heard a "no" and looked at the gorilla. He nodded. "Do me a favor and open the gate for me. I want to go back to the wild." the gorilla said. "This is crazy animals aren't supposed to talk. I must be dreaming, and no, I'm not going to open the gate." and with that I walked away. Could this day get any weirder. Then we went to see the birds and to my surprise it happened again! The bird started asking me to open the cage and I still replied "no!". So this thing happened at each animal I saw and when I got home my mom asked me why I was acting so weird. So then I told her, "Apparently animals and I can communicate now."
"Yeah, and I am batman" she replied. So with this conversation and many more with others I have now earned the title... the crazy weird one.

"I know animals aren't supposed to talk, but I could tell right away that these were different...” This crazy thing happened to me about 2 days ago a week after I got my new baby beagle Kisses.
Well I was walking Kisses in the park when I saw my best friend Riley and her dog messy. “Hey Payton I haven’t seen Kisses yet but she is so cute, how long have you had her,”
“Well I’ve had her about a week now and she is lots of fun around the house she doesn’t make messes she doesn’t snore she doesn’t bark so easy to handle,”
“She sounds like an angel,”
“Yeah she is, but what is so cute is how well Kisses and Messy are getting along,”
“Yeah that is so true how adorable__, but do you want to go to Peggy’s Pizza down the street for lunch,”
“Yeah that sounds cool let’s go drop off Kisses and Messy at my house”.
As we walked to my house Kisses and Messy weren’t getting along. We could have sworn we heard some one arguing but each time we turned around there was know one there. “Ok I think we have lost our minds we might just be delusional or something because we think were hearing someone talking arguing at that”, I said after turning around for the 5th time. “Hey you there it’s me and your crazy dog Kisses she is”
“Wait I’m crazy, I’m not the nasty dirty little mutt,” Kisses rudely interrupted Messy while he was insulting her. “Did you just cut me off and who are you calling a mutt you crazy prissy beagle,”
“Oh so know I’m prissy,”
“You guy’s can talk,” me and Riley said this in shock at the same time. “Yes we can, all animals can and I thought Miss. Prissy was crazy apparently her owner is to and she brain washed my owner oh_________ the humanity________.”
“Why dose my owner have to be the crazy one and did you call me Miss. Prissy I could have swore I just told you about that did I not…. Huh Riley, Payton did I,”
“Yeah, sorry just hard getting use to my dog and my best friends dog talking you know not normal,” Riley said this as if they were listening to her, like they cared. “Ok Messy, Kisses we are going into my house you guy’s don’t talk until we get back”, Payton said this then walked them to the backyard and left for pizza.
Back at the house Kisses and Messy were talking again they agreed to not talk anymore because Riley and Payton weren’t smart enough to handle the fact that animals can talk so just play the silent treatment until they weren’t stuck on spring break for 15 billion years. Back at Peggy’s Pizza Riley and Payton started talking, “Well I think we should talk to your mom and dad to see what they have to say like maybe it’s just them and they were just saying all animals talk”,
“Yeah I agree lets go now”. After we left a tip for the server we ran to my house as fast as we could when we were getting ready to open the door my mom got upset, “Why are you guy’s running walk”,
“Yeah sorry can you get dad and come outside,” Payton said this in a hurry.
We walked out side I picked up Kisses and Riley picked up Messy and we walked up to the balcony and looked at my parents while holding them up.
“Is there something wrong with them,” my dad said this looking confused, “No they talk,” Riley said with a smile’
“It’s not April fools Riley and you are really good and that but this is horrible”,
“Dad she’s telling the truth they do see watch hey Kisses member when Messy called you Miss. Prissy and you got upset go on yell at me I called you Miss. Prissy,”
“Honey I think your just being delusional just like 5th grade when you swore your teacher kept cats in her supply closet with buckets of ice-cream so let put this all behind us crazy girls,” my mother said this while trying to make it sound all nice. “I guess junior high changes people there new names are crazy1 and crazy2,”
“We heard that,” I shouted to them. “Yeah we know”, my dad said while turning around, “That is SCANDALOUS,” Payton shouted to my parents jokingly and that is how we found out animals could talk and that is how we got our names crazy1 and crazy2.

I know animals aren't supposed to talk, but I could tell right away that these were different...
It all started at the Mizzou game. I was going with my family and Miss Scanlon, and it was going great. We were up in the stadiums cheering our heads off. Although Kansas was winning and we knew that they couldn't beat Missouri in a long run of a game, so we had to figure out what was going wrong. So to Miss Scanlon's dissaproval me, Double Oh Nick Shutts, and Miss Scanlon undercover as Miss Jayhawk(she didn't like that at all) walked into the KU bleachers. Everybody was cheering "Rock Chalk Jayhawk!" We coughed every time they got to the word Jayhawk. We slipped under the bleachers into a secret little hideaway, and snuck into the employee only area. We were roaming the hallways and then we saw a Jayhawk! What will we do?
We into a room next to us! The Jayhawk was walking past. We pounced onto him and made sure that he was down on the ground. We tried to pull off his costume, but it wouldn't budge. We asked who was in the suit and nobody responded. It was a real Jayhawk! "Get off me," the Jayhawk said in a deep, scratchy voice. "You can talk?" we asked him, puzzled. Apparently all mascots are real, talking, living animals. This game is getting a little crazy. As soon as we left the Jayhawk, then he called on his walkie talkie. He said something like "Mizzou is _______, and _______. He is telling all of the game plans! This Jayhawk is cheating on Mizzou BIG TIME!!!! What do we do now? This game is going to be lost, and Mizzou needs to win the championships!
So now we decided to take action! This game is getting serious. A Jayhawk is cheating on Mizzou, and we need to do something about it. So Double Oh Nick, and Miss Jayhawk brainstormed, and to KU's demise they thought of the best plan to destroy the Jayhawk's chance of winning the championship. So they headed upstairs, blueprints in hand ready to sabotage their least favorite team of all time!
This game was torture! Now the Jayhawks were winning by a lot. But suddenly the scoreboard started going up on Mizzou's side! We were somehow winning! This is crazy! So then the speakers sounded and it said, "EVERYBODY CHASE KU'S TEAM AND FANS!" Then the whole large MU fan crowd jumped out of the bleachers and chased everybody who cared for KU. Eventually all KU fans were wiped from the planet's existence except for two. A boy and girl Jayhawk remained. Let's hope they don't have Jaychicks...

"I know animals aren't supposed to talk, but I could tell right away that these were different..." I was walking to this barn and I see horse naying and chickens pecking and when I reached the end of the barn I see hens talking to me. I was shocked. John,John come here the hens are talking."No they are-
"Hello mr.John said the hen".OMM said John. "You mean OH MY Mustache. Hay exactly OMW you know your animals Odai. You didnt beleive me. So how much is him. 5000$. What I thought it was 50. Hay that was before he didnt talk.

I know animals aren’t supposed to talk, but I could tell right away that this creature was different because of the way it bounded away with me, teasing me to chase it. Finally, after what seemed like hours, it let me get close enough to touch it. She stood tall and proud like a rose that had survived the terrible heat of the desert. That’s when I realized what she was. First, I thought it was an antelope, but then I realized it was a filly. She was alone but her eyes were deep with knowledge. I got a rope around her neck and started to lead her back to camp. My friends were looking for me, calling out my name. “Tadita, where are you?” “I am here, and I have caught my horse,” I replied. I heard a sniff behind me. I turned around, but only the filly was there. As I walked back to the camp, she trailed behind me. My friends said they’d been looking for me for hours. I put the horse into a pen. I needed to name her now. I looked at her and said, “I shall call you Suletu.” The horse said, “That name doesn’t fit me.” I started and stepped back. “You can talk?” I questioned. “Of course I can. Can’t every horse talk? My name is Nadie, which means wise,” she replied. “I let you catch me because I know that your friends are going to betray you.” “My friends would never betray me,” Tadita replied. “Or would they?” she wondered.

I was at the zoo, a trainer was feeding a monkey some food. Everything was normal untill I saw the monkey slash at the mans throat, the monkey hit right on and the man fell to the groung,dead. I almost screamed, well I did scream. The monkey looked my way, I started running out of the zoo,only to find a lion waiting outside for me. Imediatly after two trainers ran torwards the lion,the lion bit of 1 of the trainers heads. But the other one pulled out a sword and slashed at the lion, he hit right in the neck. The trainer saw me. "Why are you here",asked the trainer. "I'm on a feild trip", "i replied. He saw I was in trouble and was seperated from my group. "here",the trainer said, I saw a shiny object being pulled out of his shirt,"its a machete". I took the machete without hesitation and moved out with the trainer. "So what school do you go to"? Asked the trainer. "Redwood Elementary". "My son went there", siad the trainer. He spotted an attack elephant leading a group of man eating parrots. "I see you", said the elephant. And yelled charge and all the bird started charging. The trainer said "Get ready". So I got ready. tEH trainer was my friend, I only knew him for 5 minutes but it seemed like an hour after I saw him get ripped into shreds, the next time i saw him he was a bloody pulp,lying on the ground dead. The parrots ate him. The next instant I barely understood it happend so fast. All the birds flew away at lightspeed, while the elephant was charging. He was getting closer, closer,closer, i didn't know what to do. I just stood there, stunned by how fast everything happened,closer,closer,I finaly decided to...

"I know animals arn't supposed to talk,but I could tell right away that these were diffrent. First of all I saw a racoon dancind with one of the bunnies. I'm sure it just a dream. So I said, I'll join the fun". So I talk and talk and talk to the animals. The bunny said it was in a forest, but for real it ws in a jungle. I saw a deer and it was just like it's parents. An apple doesn't fall far from a tree doesn't it. So I played around knowing when I wake up from this dream untill I tripped in a log and it really hurts. Wait a second! This is a not a dream. I asked a witch thingy and asked her how to get out of this jungle. She said "to get out this jungle you'll have follow the yellow path no matter what". So I followed the road and saw a cool trampoline. I wanted to jump on it,but what I'll end up a desert. It is time that I face my time. So I junped on the trampoline and end up at my house. Then I saw a witch came by and said "blast you you did jump on the blue trampoline well you will feel my magical animals animals". Then suddenly a bunny and a racoon took her broom and I kicked her wand off turned back to a frog. "You saved us were free!" The racoon said. "Now we can live happily in our jungle now all thanks to you Jennie". "How you know my name?" I asked. "You know me soon". Said the rabbit. Now on my way to bed. Still thinking of the rabbit. "Could that be my mom or my dad"? I asked myself. Could this be the beging?

I know animal s aren't supposed to talk, but I could tell right that these were different...
It all started when my mom took me to the everglades to see the alligators.We were on an airboat tour.The captain had stopped the boat,I leaned over the side of the boat(being careful not to fall in).I was trying to get a better look at the alligators.I didn't see anything so sat upright again.The moment I sat down,I heard a very low voice.At first I thought I was hearing things so I ignored the voice.Then I heard it again,Ilooked down and my mouth dropped straight down.I couldn't believe it but the alligator was talking to me.I pretended that I didn't see anything.That was the one thing of that trip that I didn't forget!

I know animals aren't supposed to talk, but I could tell right away that these were different...
it all started when my dad took me to the Red Barn Farm. First we went to see 3 fat pigs.They were rubbing their stomach and saying, "My stomach is so full."
My dad and I thought that a person said that, but the pigs were talking like kids. I screamed " I must be dreaming." Then one of the pigs came closer and asked me a question." Can I go home with you?" and I woke up from my crazy dream.-LAOLYEEN ALFONS #4

Whoa! I said as I fell into the river ,The strong under current easily took me down stream.Then It took me into a pond full of fish.I struggled out and started going back up the hill when I heard a deep voice,"Don't go".I turned around but didn't see anyone, but I did see a fish halfway sticking out of the water."Why,wait did you just,no.I started back up the hill but then turned back around,"Did you just say something?"The fish nodded his head no and went back underwater while still looking at me."Okay"I said going back home with a strange thought in my mind about animals and the human language.
