Short story alert:
Once upon a time there was a baby iguana named Spikey. He
was a Spiny-Tailed iguana. He loved the sun and the heat from the sun that
warmed his body. Spikey was a cold-blooded reptile. Spikey loved to crawl on
the floor of the forest where he lived and he blended in well with the rocks.
One day Spikey decided to be a little more adventurous, so he climbed up a tree.
He spotted a flower off in the distance to eat. He slowly made his way to the
flower and ate it all up. He has never climbed up a tree before. When he tried
to get back down the tree to the ground, he got a little nervous. He was not
sure how to do it at first. He tried to go straight down. He tried to back down
the tree, but everything he tried he just couldn’t seem to get down the tree. Spikey’s Mom and Dad were watching their son from the ground. They let him try to get
down the tree for a little while by himself. Spikey’s father soon went up the
tree and showed his son how to get back down to the ground. Spikey watched his
father go up and down the tree and before you know it Spikey made his way back
down the tree to the ground. Spikey never forgot the lesson his dad taught him
that day. Spikey’s motto is to live and learn! THE END!
