because Jelly Belly took so many stops for food. They practically went
bananas over how big the city was.

all knew what they wanted to do. But what they didn’t know was that
the wolf had heard everything and that he was following Torito Telli.

to form their own jazz band. Jelly Belly had taken Jazz singing lessons.
Tortito Telli had taken piano lessons. Fredo Lelli had taken Saxaphone
lessons. They made a perfect Jazz band. Tortito Telli saw the wolf. The
wolf tried to pounce on him, but before the wolf could do anything Tortito
Telli smacked him in the jaw.

were such a big hit that they were invited to be on the Ophrah show. They
got to be billionaires after 3 days. They bought a huge house and a beautiful
red shiny convertible. They built an electric fence around all their house
and its acres. The wolf tried to climb over the fence and he got shocked
everyone thought he went a little koo-koo in the head. Since then the
three billionaires never saw the wolf ever again. The pigs had a lot of
luck. They were in Hog Heaven.

“Tuffy and Me”
by Olivia
. . . It was a cold February afternoon,
when my dad and I drove up to my granddaddy”s barn. The sad look
on my granddaddy’s face scared me. My dad asked, “What is
wrong?” My granddaddy said, “GIGI is going to have puppies
but something is wrong and she must go to the vet.” So my dad and
I put her in his truck, it seemed like forever before we got there. When
we got out of the truck we got GIGI out of the truck. We took her in the
office, they said, “We will keep her while you and your daughter
go eat supper.” So we went to Mi Pueblos. I couldn’t be quiet
or eat until my dad’s cell phone rang. It was the vet saying that
two of the puppies died, but she was able to save the other two. We left
and we went back to the vet. When we got there we saw GiGi and her two
puppies. I was so happy.
. . . Then my dad paid the vet and we went
home. After we got there we carried them to a stall in the barn where
my granddaddy kept hay. Every day I came to my dad’s I went to see
them. After their eyes opened we named them. I told my dad he could name
the girl, but I wanted to name the boy. Dad named the girl Dixie and I
named the boy Samson. He was so tiny I could hold him in both of my hands.
He was black and tan. A few months later I asked my dad if I could rename
Samson to Tuffy because he growled and he played tuff. Dad said, “Okay”.
One day I was watching my granddaddy walk by me. Tuffy was behind him
growling. Right then I knew he was special! When I would call Tuffy, he
would run as fast as he could to meet me. He would jump up on me and run
in circles as fast as he could. On June 17th I was getting ready to leave
to go to Northeast College to my writing workshop, Tuffy always came to
see me before I left but this time he did not come. I called and called
him, but he did not come. I asked my grandmother where he was? I told
her to tell me if something had happened to him. That was when she told
me that he got out in the highway and a car ran over him. I was very sad.
Tuffy will always be special to me.
