Mrs. Wishy Washy Gets a Chicken   by Kaleigh W.

One day Mrs. Wishy-Washy went for a drive singing, “I always wake up late. Why do I always wake up late? When I I wake up late the animals get hungry and really dirty.”

So Mrs. Wishy-Washy went to her brother’s family. She said, “Can I please have a chicken?”

“Why yes,” he said.

“Oh, thank you, thank you. I will never wake up late again.” By the time she got home—Splash!—the animals got dirty. Even the chicken jumped in the mud.

“In the tub you go!" and she washed all the animals.

Mrs. Wishy Washy’s Day  
by Jesse C.

“Oh, lovely mud!” said the cow, and she jumped in it.

“Oh, lovely mud!” said the pig and he jumped in it.

“Oh, lovely mud!” said the duck and he jumped in it.

“MMMMMMMM,” said Mrs. Wishy Washy. She was doing yoga. KNOCK, KNOCK! “Who is there?” said Mrs. Wishy Washy. The pizza man. “Okay, come in I want my pizza,” said Mrs. Wishy Washy.

When she opened the door she saw something strange about the pizza man.

“What a long tail you have, pizza man,” said Mrs Wishy Washy.

“Yes, I’ve been growing it out.”

“What weird hooves you have,” said Mrs. Wishy Washy.

“Yeah, I’m getting my pedicure soon, don’t worry.”

“What weird brown spots you have,” said Mrs. Wishy Washy.

“Um...well you know.”

“Wait, you’re not the pizza man. You’re the cow and you’re dirty,” said Mrs. Wishy Washy. So Mrs. Wishy Washy went outside and cleaned all the animals. Wishy-Washy. Wishy-Washy.

“All done,” said Mrs. Wishy Washy.

“Oh, lovely mud!” said the pig and jumped in it.

“Not again,” said Mrs. Wishy Washy.
