Cuddles could hear his sister Daisy call him.
“Cuddles, Cuddles, help me! Cuddles help me!”
Cuddles was very tired and hungry from playing
all night. He had to go home and tell them what had happened to Daisy.
Cuddles’ mother was very worried about Daisy and where she was.
Cuddles started down the road
to find Daisy. He came to a river that he couldn’t cross. Cuddles saw a
log floating down the river and jumped on it to get across the river, only
to find out that the log was headed right toward a waterfall. Faster and
faster the log was moving down the river. The log was getting closer and
closer to the waterfall. All Cuddles could think about was how his sister
was and that his mom was so worried about her.
The log was moving faster and
faster down the river. About five feet from the waterfall, a rock in the
river stopped the log. More logs were coming down the river and getting
stopped by the rock. Finally, Cuddles could get across the river.
Then out from a log came Zipper
the fly. Zipper almost knocked Cuddles over the log.
Cuddles said, “Wait. Who are you?”
“I am Zipper the fly. Zip, zip,
zip, that’s who I am, Zipper the fly.”
Cuddles asked Zipper, “Have you
seen my sister Daisy. A big crow has carried her away and I must find her.”
Zipper replied, “No, no, no, no
I haven’t. But I will help you find her!”
