3. Haiku Wind blowing from the tree, Flowers spread about, I'm eating cherry pie.

4. If I Was A Piece of Garbage If I was a piece of garbage I would pray every night that I'd be in a garbage can. If I was a smashed up can I would like to be recycled. If I were any piece of garbage I would like the wind to pick me up in it's hands and throw me away so I don't pollute the world.

5. A Dog's Life It all started when our mother left. I always had a Feeling in my stomach that something bad had Happened to her. After a minute I heard Yellow Man greet us after he was in the woods for a long time. Then I knew that someone was coming. I was surprised to see it was Matthias coming. Then he came up to Bone and me and gave us Chicken pieces. I was happy to have something To eat.

6. The Animal Spoke One day I was walking through the woods. I was Humming and having a nice time until I heard Something speak. Then came out a beautiful Tiger. He was black and white and wouldn't Stop talking. When I went up and petted him He said thanks and I said your welcome.

7. The Day I met a Sumatran Tiger One day I was hiking in Sumatra. It was hot there. It was 45 minutes later when I heard something growling. I looked behind me but I didn't see anything. Then I heard more growling and turned Around as fast as I could. Then I saw a tiger Staring in my eyes.
