Another View
by Anita N. Amin
One misty morning, Chloe and Joey
were looking around their backyard. They
were sitting on the grass.
Joey saw a rock with little plants on it.
“Look at that mossy green rock!” Joey cried.
“That is not a rock,” Chloe said. “It’s a
dinner table for snails.” A snail inched over to the rock to munch on the plants.
Next, Joey saw a leaf. “Look at that pretty yellow leaf!” Joey cried.
“That is not a leaf,” Chloe said. “It’s a blanket for beetles.” A beetle
crawled under the warm leaf.
Then, Joey saw a flower. “Look at that red flower!” Joey cried.
“That is not a flower,” Chloe said. “It’s a shower for worms.” A worm
played in the water under the flower as dewdrops dripped from the petals.
“Look at that wild mushroom!” Joey cried.
“That is not a mushroom,” Chloe said. “It’s an umbrella for spiders.” A
spider knit a web under the mushroom away from the mist.
Finally, Joey saw a stick. “Look at that squiggly–” Joey stopped. If he
called it a stick, Chloe would say it was not a stick. So, Joey cried, “Look at
that squiggly ladybug ladder!”
Chloe grinned at Joey and said, “Now you're seeing things from another
point of view!”
