STORY PAGE

I have made this the story page:   Liza, the lizard (a continuing character of mine) was sitting in the sun. A large shadow fell over head. Liza was very nervous, it could be a bird ready to eat her, it could be a child ready to put her in a jar and make her a pet, it could be a cloud in the sky. Liza scurried under a flowering bush, hoping what ever it was would go away.  The bush was a beautiful rose, the flowers were red and pink and cream.  The thorns were sharp!  Liza felt very safe.  The shadow got bigger, it appeared to get closer too.


Liza was scared, she was shaking. Oh no, the thorns were very sharp and Liza scampered to a tall stand of grass.  When she looked out she saw that the shadow was from her friend Rachel (a robin).  What a relief.

"Liza what's the matter?" Rachel saw Liza shaking.  "You're shadow was so huge, I thought it was something about to eat me.  Liza laughed nervously.  "How are you, What's going on?   I've been sitting here enjoying the roses." Liza continued.

" Rachel said she was kind of looking for something interesting to do, with Liza, but really had nothing particularly in mind.  The two friends enjoyed the roses together for a quiet moment.  Then...???????

Rachel and Liza decided to have a picnic, and so they asked some of their friends to come.  Sammy (snake), Bob (bobwhite), Chuck (chipmunk), and Frannie (finch), thought it was a great idea.  "Let's find somewhere different!"  They all said.  We can bring sandwiches, and seeds and nuts, and veggies, and dip and dessert too. 


Everyone got things together and off they went.


"OK, now comes the hard part...where do we go?"  Well let's just take turns picking a direction till we find someplace that we all like."  So that's what the friends did.  Since most of them could fly, they decided to do that, with Liza and Chuck and Sammy as passengers.  Liza picked first and said south.  So they headed south, flying low so they all could watch for a good picnic spot, or anything else interesting.
