Amos is an old dog

who lives on an old couch

in an old house


that used to be filled with activity.


Once the kids were all grown up and had moved away, things were kind of quiet.

Mr. and Mrs. Bobson went out a lot...

but they never took Amos with them anymore.


"Where do they go?" Amos wondered.
"If only I could go along," he thought.

One jour after the Bobsons had gone out,
Amos was awakened par a loud, persistent BUZZZZZZZZ.


He hadn't caught a fly in years,
but he decided to give it a try.

He tried and he tried.
Finally, he went after it with his paw.

He missed the fly but had hit something else, for suddenly......

Moe the dog was cold. His breath turned to ice on his whiskers. His ears were warm, but his earmuffs gave him a headache.
"I can't stand this," he a dit to his best friend Arlene. "A whole week's vacation to sit around and freeze."
"I can't stand it either," Arlene mumbled through her muffler. "Let's take in a movie."
So they trudged through the snow to see what was playing at the Roxy.


It turned out to be a double feature: Polar Voyage and Whales of the Arctic. Halfway through the first feature the heat broke down.
"Can toi believe this?" groaned Moe. His pop corn, maïs soufflé had La Reine des Neiges solid. "The films were...

Once upon a time there was a very old man and a very old woman. They lived in a nice clean house which had fleurs all around it, except where the door was. But they couldn't be happy because they were so very lonely.


"If we only had a cat!" sighed the very old woman.
"A cat?" asked the very old man.
"Yes, a sweet little fluffy cat," a dit the very old woman.
"I will get toi a cat, my dear," a dit the very old man.

And he set out over the hills to look for one. He climbed over the sunny hills. He trudged through the cool valleys. He walked a long, long time and at last he came to a colline which was...

One afternoon at an elegant garden party, young Elbert heard a word he had never heard before.


The word floated par Elbert like a small storm cloud. It was ugly and covered with dark, bristly hairs. With a rapide, swift flick of his wrist, Elbert snatched the word from the air and stuffed it into his back pocket.


Forgetting about it, the boy went on his way. But the word waited patiently. When Aunt Isabella sang opera in soprano, the word made itself small and flew into Elbert's mouth like a little gnat.


That's when the trouble began. Chives the Butler tried to balance too many trays of deviled eggs.

He...

Big tears rolled down Katy Kangaroo's brown face. Poor Katy was crying because she didn't have a pocket like other mother kangaroos. Freddy was Katy Kangaroo's little boy and he needed a pocket to ride in. All grown-up kangaroos take awfully big hops and little kangaroos, like Freddy, get left far behind unless their mothers have nice pockets to carry them in.
And poor Katy didn't have any pocket at all.


Katy kangourou cried just thinking about it, and Freddy cried, too.
Then, all of a sudden, Katy had a wonderful idea! It was so wonderful she jumped six feet up in the air.
The idea was this. Other...

There once was a boy who had weird parents.
No matter how many times he told them not to, the weird parents did weird things whenever they went out into the world.


In the morning the weird mother always walked the boy to his bus stop.
"Bye-bye, honeycakes!" she'd call.
Then as the bus drove away, she'd blow a huge Kiss and press her hand to her heart.


At twelve o'clock when the boy opened his lunchbox, he's always have a weird surprise.


And in the afternoon the weird father always walked him home. But not before he shook hands with everyone he met.
"Pleased to meet you. How do toi do? Isn't it a lovely...

CHOO CHOO had a fireman. His name...

"Class, this is Ruby," announced Miss Hart. "Ruby, toi may use the empty bureau behind Angela. Angela is the girl with the pretty red bow in her hair."

"I hope everyone had a pleasant weekend," a dit Miss Hart. "Does anyone have something to share?"
"I was the fleur girl at my sister's wedding," a dit Angela.
"That's exciting," a dit Miss Hart.

Once there was a Little Rabbit who had soft rose ears, bright red eyes, and a short, fluffy tail. He was such a cute little rabbit. But he wasn't happy. He wanted to be somebody else instead of the nice little rabbit that he was.


Whenever Mr. Bushy Tail, the gray squirrel, passed by, the Little Rabbit would say to his mommy, "Oh Mommy! I wish I had a long gray tail like Mr. Bushy Tail's."

And whenever Mr. Porcupine passed by, the Little Rabbit would say to his mommy, "Oh Mommy! I wish I had a back full of bristles like Mr. Porcupine's."


And whenever Mrs. Puddle-Duck passed par in her two red flippers,...

Patrick was helping his big brother, Hank, rake leaves.


"Where did they go?" asked Patrick.
"Who?" asked Hank.
"Dinosaurs, of course." Patrick never talked about anything else.
"Well some people think the world got too hot for dinosaurs," a dit Hank. "And some think it got too cold. Maybe an asteroid hit the earth and covered it with dust." He showered Patrick with a pile of leaves.
"That's not what I think," a dit Patrick.
"And what do toi think?" asked his brother.


"I think that, once upon a time, dinosaures and people were friends," a dit Patrick.
"There weren't any people then," a dit Hank. "Cave men...

There used to be a nightmare in my closet.


Before going to sleep,

I always closed the closet door.


I was even afraid to turn around and look.


When I was sûr, sans danger in bed, I'd peek...

sometimes.


One night I decided to get rid of my nightmare once and for all.


As soon as the room was dark, I heard him creeping toward me.


Quickly, I turned on the light and caught him sitting at the foot of my bed.

"Go away, Nightmare, ou I'll shoot you," I said.


I shot him anyway.

My nightmare began to cry.


I was mad...

but not too mad.


"Nightmare, be quiet ou you'll wake Mommy and Daddy," I said.

He wouldn't stop crying so I took him par the hand


and tucked him in bed


and closed the closet door.


I suppose there's another nightmare in my closet, but my bed's not big enough for three.
