Franklin Plays Checkers
Franklin loved to play checkers. He loved it so much that he would get very upset when he lost a
game. Whenever he played and his friends were winning, they noticed him huffing and pouting as if he
didn't want to play at all. That made the game less fun for everyone.
It's no wonder that, after a few months, Franklin ran out of checkers partners. His friends would play
hopscotch and cards with him, and they would ride bikes. When he pulled out the checkerboard though,
his friends would politely excuse themselves.
One day, he decided to ask Fonda, his big sister, to play. She was busy at her desk in her bedroom.
"I don't have time to play right now, Franklin. I'm working on a book report," Fonda said.
Franklin started to get upset. He really wanted someone to play checkers with him. "Well, what am I
supposed to do?" he replied unhappily.
Fonda thought for a moment. "Well, maybe there is something we can do, Franklin," she said. "Come
with me."
Fonda put him in front of her computer, and on the screen was a giant checkerboard.
"Now you can play whenever as you want. You're playing against a computer!" Fonda explained
Franklin was so happy. He found the perfect partner for a checkers fan like him!

The Haircut
When I woke up on Saturday, mom said I was a sheepdog with my long,
shaggy hair, and it was time for me to get my hair cut. When I looked at her, she
was a zebra, half hidden behind the drapes of my overgrown bangs. I couldn't
help it. I laughed. She was right, my hair had to be cut.
The barber's chair was a tower, and he pumped it higher and higher. I
didn't really mind. I was an explorer, looking at the world in a whole new way.
The pieces of hair on the floor were an exotic carpet of strange brown fibers
that criss-crossed in a crazy pattern. The floor was an odd new planet, and I was
an astronaut looking down from above. The barber pumped the chair again, and
I was a rocket/coming in for a landing. I couldn't believe the adventure was over
so soon.
On the way home, we stopped at the store to buy some milk. Unfortunately,
there was some amazing sale going on at the time. We were tiny fish swimming
in a sea of people. I couldn't wait to get out of there and go home. The drive
home was a frustrating eexperience, because the holiday traffic had turned the
street into a parking lot. I hope it's a long time before I'm a sheepdog again!​
