Short story alert:
Once upon a time there was a kind of short deer with really
long fangs. She was a Chinese water deer. Her name was Hoppy. Hoppy loved to
run and swim. When she ran, she looked more like she was hopping. That is how
she got her name. She would hop/run down to the water and swim for hours. When
she was finished swimming; she would hop and frolic through the tall grasses in
search of food to eat. Sometimes she would find beets to eat. Her favorite food
to eat was fresh shoots of grass. When she got tired and full, she would find
some tall thick vegetation to take a nap in. Once she felt safe, she would lay
down on her side with her head up and fall asleep. While she was sleeping a
loud noise startled her. She jumped up and started gazing around. She remained
really still and quiet as a mouse. Off in the distance through the tall grasses
she spotted a tiny Siberian chipmunk. Hoppy stood there and watched as the
little chipmunk played. She wondered how something so small could be so loud.
She watched as the Siberian chipmunk got further and further away. Hoppy hopped
out of her resting area and started on her way. THE END! By Mimi Jones
