A True Story

All right here is how this story began. I   am eight years old. My   mommy got a   pet  for me .  I named her mama. She was a guinea pig.  I already had had some pets. Since the first day we got her my mommy said that mama is going   to   have a   baby .I had to do math.  My mommy said   mama    had   gave   birth to a baby.  I   came   and   looked.

It looked cute.  My   mommy   said    that   mama    was flipping the baby over.  When   I    was   done  with math I  saw the baby.  I   picked up  the baby.  I looked and   it was a  boy .  I  named him Teddy.   I   put   Teddy  back  with mama. Mama was licking   teddy. So   then   I   picked him up every day.   And   one   day   I    put   him on the table  and he came to me. Mama rejected one of her babies, and that baby’s name was sleepy.  So I  got Teddy to drink mama’s milk.  Mama had lots of babies.

Fuzzy    had   arms   that   were   crooked. she was sleepy. She  was one of my buddy’s .when I    found her  she was under a   dish .She  looked  hurt . I   thought   she was dead. Mama could   not   give   birth under   there. They were cold   I   bet. Chunky is a very healthy .She runs fast. She is almost  a twin of sleepy.Sleepy is sleepy one day  she got sick .

Sleepy was under the food dish and was all cold.  We took her in and we fed her applesauce with some water.  Mommy looked for veterinarians.  I was carrying her and I was crying because I knew she was going to die and I told her I will stay with her when she dies.  We went in the car to get some cat milk just like the veterinarian said.  And it was hard opening the bottle.  Then we were driving.  Mommy was just listening to her heartbeat and then she said to me softly that she’s dead.  We heard on the radio that the Pope died at 2:37pm.  Sleepy died at the same time of the Pope.
