Petey and Ralphie went exploring last Saturday. Petey carried a net and a bag to
put specimens in. Ralphie ran ahead and stuck his nose into a bush searching. Petey
followed behind bending to grab a small, red and black, winged critter. Petey looked up,
held out his hand, and decided to put on his wide brimmed hat and jacket. He tucked
the specimen bag under his jacket so it wouldn’t get wet.
When the sun came back out and the clouds moved away, Petey and Ralphie sat
down for lunch. Petey had a ham sandwich, and Ralphie had a big, juicy steak bone.
After lunch was finished, the boys trotted on home and observed their new pet. Later
that day, the two played catch while the sun set. Summer was over, and Petey had to
get up early tomorrow.
