Joining the parade sounded like fun ,but first i had to think of something never seen before...a crowd of...JAYHAWKS.Jawhaks as mascotts with full blown costumes.We will have an awesome float and a convertible camarro covered in jayhawk stuff with red and blue decals.Ballons..a float covered in balloons.It will be AWESOME.Once all of that was done it was time for the parade.The mizzou fans were booing and the ku fans were screaming rock chalk jayhawk and they were louder than te mizzou fans, way louder.Unexpectly there was a crowd of mizzou fans sababtoughing our float and were takaling our jayhawks.It was all down hill from there.They destroid us and ther was jayhawk heads everywhere..mascott heads of course what did you think real heads?There was splatterd tomatoes every where and left over trash and we had to clean it up.
Joining the parade sounded like fun, but first I had to think of something never been seen before….it was an animal shelter parade. A few animal shelters had joined together to put on a parade at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. They had drawn kids from the local schools, and each kid was assigned an animal. The animals on parade ranged in size from large draft horses to teeny-tiny mice. There might have been an elephant thrown, too, but it would have been too tiny for us to notice.
I chose to lead a Palomino. He had a golden coat, white mane and tail. His eyes were the color of hot chocolate, and his coat was the color of caramel. He tossed his mane and swished his tail whenever I went out to get him. He was an orphan. His mother died after giving birth, but the veterinarian realized his mother was in failing health. He ensured that the new foal found an adoptive mother who would love him like her own.
My friend, Anne, was supposed to join me and lead a cat, but she was sick. So, she had asked me to lead the cat. However, leading the cat didn’t really work out too well. In the end, I had to place the cat on the horse’s saddle. The cat curled up in the saddle and took a nap.
Then the parade begins. We all start moving. The dogs are wagging their entire bodies. The cats are pulling on their leashes. It sounds like an unturned orchestra. Everyone was hooting, barking, shouting, hee-hawing, and screaming. All of the sounds you could ever imagine were present.
We walked around town square twice. Then, we stopped and the manager came to the podium. He said, “Whoever is interested in adopting an animal, please step forward. If you’re not adopting, we hope you enjoyed the parade.” About half of the crowd took a step forward. I handed the horse to the person next to me and said that I would be right back. I didn’t wait for his reply. Instead, I ran to Mom and Dad who I saw in the crowds. My parents asked me if I had chosen an animal to adopt. I said that I had chosen the horse that I had been leading and the cat on its saddle.
My parents had previously said that I could adopt one animal, but two was absolutely out of the question.
I replied, “One animal is too few, three animals is a zoo, and two animals is perfect. I even have names picked out. I’m naming the cat Sushi and the horse will be Carmel.” My parents tried to beat around the bush, but I was as unmovable as a 115 year old tree. Finally, my parents agreed after another 10 minutes of arguing. Smiling, I went back to Sushi and Caramel.
After my parents finalized all of the adoption paperwork – which took another 90 minutes – we took them home. Sushi and Caramel are friends to this day. My friend Anne will come over and marvel at Sushi and Caramel’s best friend behavior.

Joining the parade sounded like fun, but I had to think of something never seen before… It had to be smooth like a puppy’s fur and as cool as Antarctica. “I’ve got it, uh-uh Hatchet”!, Ian yelled excitedly like it was is 30th birthday. The parade was getting close and I was so nervous I was like the Ku and Mu fighting and the game was 90-90 with 10seconds left and Kansas had the ball, but we are not in a basketball game we are at a parade. “Ian”!, Zack yelled (Ian’s brother). “You’re going to be late get out of LaLa land and come out here.” “Well Zack I wasn’t in LaLa land I was in”- “No one cares!” ,Zack yelled. I ran out of the place like there was a zombie outbreak or something. I got on the balloon and yelled “I’M BRIAN AND I’M LOOKING FOR MY DAD BUT MY PLANE CRASHED IN THE WOODS (which was at Kansas City behind a school). I had a hatchet in my left hand I was holding on to the balloon rope with the other hand. “Hey look a bird is talking in that balloon”. That lady thought I was a talking bird, well I’m a talking person not a bird. “Uh-Oh”. I accidently stabbed the balloon with the hatchet and it started go down to the ground. I was going quicker than quick. Right as I thought that I was going even faster. “Blobby pull out the mat so that bird won’t die”. “I’M NOT A BIRD”! I crash land just like the plane but not in the woods I hit a mat instead. POOOOOOOOOOFFF, I hit the mat so hard I couldn’t feel my sun burnt, scabbed face . “Is that bird ok or is he dead”. I didn’t hear that because I was knocked out at that time so well probably I did because I’m talking about it so I’m not a human I’m a bird, I mean I’m a human not a bird. Everyone thought I was faking and that I what I just did was a stunt. “Hey look an very old looking plane coming RIGHT at us… wait AHHHHHHHH!” Everyone was screaming for their lives as the plane is coming down right at them. “Hey lady who thinks I’m a bird, that’s my dad!” As my dad was coming down at everyone he yelled “Hey son this is a dream, not real”! I guess I suddenly just WAKE up RIGHT when he says that and I was like “OH MAN… STUPID BERRIES!”

Joining the parade sounded like fun, but first I had to think of something never seen before...I know, a tamala my favorite food!! At first I thought it would be really easy to just go buy a costume and dress up as one. No one makes a tamala costume. I decided I needed help from the famous costume maker, Mrs. Elliott. The next day I went to her shop and asked for her help and brought a real tamala to bribe her. She said she would help but since she never made a costume like that before she didn't have the right material. We decided to turn me into a real tamala.
The morning of the parade Mrs. Elliott wrapped me in lots of masa and tied corn leaves all around me. Then I had to lay in the sun for three hours so the masa would cook around me and not fall off. Next we unwrapped the leaves and poked black-beans all over me then I was off to the parade.
I surprised all my friends by showing up as a tamala. I was really enjoying being in the parade until the birds started pecking at me! I got so full of birds I had to do the Stop, Drop and Roll just to get them off of me. The crowd went wild they loved it, they thought I was doing dance moves!! I had a great time being a dancing tamala.

Joining the parade sounded like fun, but first I had to think of something never seen before... I have to get an elephant. Not some ordinary elephant. An elephant with pink polka dots on purple camo, but where do I get one? I'll go to the zoo! So I asked the zoo keeper guy. I asked him, "um. Can I get a elephant with pink polka dot on with purple camo?" He said "no we don't,but we do have a gold and black tiger. If you want it." I do, I do. So I got him. I think I'll name him Mizzou. "ahh come on I have all thumbs." said Mizzou. "wait you can talk? I asked. "duh ever since I ate that annoying Jayhawk I some how know how to talk". Whoa. He is like the king of foot ball. Okay let's go to the parade! "Come on let's go play". He is awsome. He won the national parade football game! Well at least he not all thumbs any more... Or is he?

Yes, I joined the parage, you heard it right. The parade is in two days and I don't have anything ready. First, I need to think of something never seen before. I'm leaning towards buying a 4-wheeler and attaching air cannons to it to shoot out candy. I think the crowd will like it. (12 hours later) "John, are you getting the cannons attached?" I asked frantically. John is my brother. He works in a car workshop in Sacremento, California. I called him over to San Diego to help me, this is big!
Day of the Parade--
"Dan, load up the candy in the bed of the truck," John yelled at me. "Okay, thanks for reminding me," I shouted back. "Good!" John yelled. "Do you guys want some more lemonade, your working so hard," my wife Kathy yelled. "Sure, honey, thanks," I answered. "The people start at 4:00 adn it was 2:22," John shouted. "I don't know if were gonna pull this off."
1 hour later--
"It's done," I yelled out. "It's done, It's done, It's done." Take it out for a test drive before you celebrate.
5 minutes later--
"It works, let's get to the parade, quick." "Okay," John answered. We better leave now cause this thing moves like a slug," I said as I kicked the parade machines tire. As we went to the parade I did not know I would soon regret going...

Jon just got an amazing idea. He must keep it a secret from his freinds. If they found out they would steel his idea. Jon would not even tell his parents. Every day after school Jon would go te the alley to work on his float. He searched in dumpster anything cool he could use. He found sticks, poles, wrapers, rusted gears and some other junk. his dad let him yous old tires and a table. He yoused flexseal tou to dtick it together. Next he glueed the junk on. Last he painted it. Finally on the day of the parade he entered his float. His float was last. When he brought his float out everyone gasped. He had made a giant recycling bin with the junk he had on top. The crowd loved it. Everyone cheered! When he drove his float past the judges table the judges gasped louder than a Rocket! Jon was amazingly happy!!!!!!!!!!
THE NEXT MORNING
Jon went out to get the paper. He was really hoping he won best float. The showed the top 5. He opened it to the right pagand

Joining the parade sounded like fun but first I had to think of something never seen before...Juggling!No, people juggle all of the time.Well maybe I should get an animal, people love animals.So I went down to the animal shelter so I could get something cheaper.When I got to the shelter it seemed like there were a million animals in there.I saw dogs and cats and even a rat but none of those really seemed parade-able to use.So I kept walking through and then I saw it, a falcon, you don't see those in the parade everyday none the less in an animal shelter, I just had to get it, im not sure my mom would entirly approve of getting a falcon but I could just return it when the parade is over.I asked how much it was and the clerk said $200.00 I thought that it was alot but the clerk said it was a rare antarctic falcon.I started to walk away and then the clerk said,"But maybe I could lower the price for a young man looking for some fun."Then I said,"Thankyou sir,I can bring him back tommorow!"So now the price was only $50.00 which was a great sale even though it was just rental.And I had saved up $54.00 from helping all of my neighbors.So I got the falcon and ran to my house and told my mom that I would be in the parade and that she should come watch, but she had to work.My mom let's me do almost anything as long as I back within an hour.I got on my bike and rode to the parade with the falcon on my arm,I didn't want to name him because then I would get attached and won't want to return him.I got to the parade desk and I signed in then I went to where the rest of the kids were and it seemed I got there just in time because then the band started playing and the parade started.
