by Isabella
The owners were taking a walk with their pets. The girl cat was being walked by her girl owner. The boy dog was being walked by his boy owner. They ran into each other at the park. The girl cat said to the boy dog, “Why do you bark so much?” The boy dog said, “Because I am so happy.” Both the owners’ mouths opened wide in shock. They thought it was crazy that their animals were talking! The animals didn’t think it was crazy. They thought it was just fine.
The owners each decided to put their animals on TV. When they were on TV the animals did not talk. The owners were not happy at all. The next day they went to the park. The boy dog said to the girl cat, “There you are! Where have you been?” The girl cat said, “At my house eating cat food.” The owners were so frustrated that they were talking again but didn’t when they were on TV? The owners asked, “Why didn’t you talk on TV?” The boy dog and the girl cat each said, “Because we didn’t have anyone to talk to.” The next week the owners put their animals on TV together. They both started talking. Everybody was amazed and surprised! But they didn’t think it was amazing or surprising. They thought it was just fine. Then the dog asked the cat if she would marry him. She said yes. They were married the next day at the TV studio.
