Cherry Chubs Beautiful
Spring Day
"Oh what a bee-u-ti-ful day!" exclaimed Cherry Chub.
As she stretches her arms and out with a big sigh as she gets
out of bed. "I wonder what I will do today." As Cherry
looked outside she realized it wasn't as beautiful as she first
thought. There were clouds in the normally clear blue sky. Cherry
Chub couldn't help but to smile though. She realized that rain
clouds meant rain would soon be here to water the flowers and
the plants. Her bird friends love it when it rains. The raindrops
fill their birdbaths. They love to splash and play and Cherry
giggles as she watches them.
As Cherry stood looking
out the window while drinking her carrot juice she had an idea.
"Look at all of those dandelions!" she exclaimed. The
rain will wash them all away. She always loved blowing the dandelions
and watching the little pieces fly around in the breeze. Cherry
wanted her friends to come over and play. After asking her Mom
if it was ok for her friends to come over, she called Patti Bunny
and Sam Squirrel. She said, "do you want to come over to
play today, I have an idea of something fun we can do". Cherry
said, "Come quick before it starts to rain".
Patti and Sam hurried
over as soon as they finished their breakfast. Cherry asked them
if they would like to go outside and blow some dandelions for
fun before it rains. Sam and Patti thought this sounded like fun
so off they went. Running all around the yard, giggling and blowing.
Dandelions flying all over the yard. Do you think Cherry realized
that there would be many more dandelions just from blowing them
all over the yard? It started to rain so they all ran up to the
house.
Mama Chub was standing
there with a towel for each of them to dry off before they went
into the house. They came into the house after they were dry.
There was hot lemon tea and carrot cake waiting on the table.
Cherry's Mom was really nice. All of her friends enjoyed coming
over because they were always treated like one of the family.
After they finished their snacks they decided to play hopscotch
in the sunroom.
The rain was coming
down much harder at this point. Sam, Patti, and Cherry stood looking
out the window at the hard rain coming down. "Where did all
of the dandelions go", asked Patti. Mama Chub came in and
explained the hard rain makes the seedlings come off of their
stems. She said, "You will be amazed to see how many dandelions
pop up overnight".
It was getting to be
lunchtime now. Playtime was about over for a while. These three
were about ready for a nap. "You can take a short nap after
you eat a little something", said Mama Chub. While the kids
were eating their carrot and cucumber sandwiches and drinking
their milk, Mama Chub got their nap areas ready. "May we
be excused from the table, Mama Chub", asked Patti, Sam,
and Cherry. "Of course my dears," said Mama Chub. "I
have your beds ready for your nap now", she said.
As the children slept
the rain stopped. The sun was shining brightly and the birds were
singing. Cherry woke up from her nap. She sat up in her bed and
soon noticed it was very bright in her room. She jumped up out
of bed and looked out the window! "Wake up Patti, wake up
Sam!" she exclaimed. The sun is out and the rain has stopped.
There was a beautiful rainbow and she called her Mom in to look
at it. "That is a really pretty rainbow," Mama Chub
said. The kids were all energized and ready to play again. They
knew they would have fun watching the birds play in their bird
bathes.
Patti's Mother called
to come pick her up. The kids knew their fun day had ended. They
had fun and learned a bit about dandelions so they were happy.
While they were cleaning up the bedding, Sam's Mother called.
She was coming right over to pick him up to take him over to his
Grandmothers house. He loved spending time with his Grandma and
he was going to stay the night with her, which made him really
happy. As the Moms arrived the kids all said thank you to Mama
Chub and Cherry and gave them both a big hug. "Be sure to
look outside when you first get up in the morning", said
Mama Chub. "The flowers will be blooming and the dandelions
will be plentiful again". Cherry hugged onto her Mom as Patti
and Sam left. "Thank you Mom," said Cherry. "I'm
lucky to have a great Mom like you".
Cherry curled up in
the chair with her favorite picture book, a book of Sally Winey
bears. She loves these beautiful bears and someday hopes she can
own one too.
The End!
