Walter’s Red Star

One Friday, Andrew took Walter, his pet chimpanzee, to school. Walter was

allowed to sit at Steven’s desk as Steven was absent. Walter lifted the lid of his

desk and found a bag of potato chips. He ate them. Then he blew up the bag and

burst it. The children roared with laughter.

The class began to work hard at their sums. Jane got ten out of ten. Miss Nash

gave her a green star. Then they had an art class. Miss Nash gave Michael a green

star because he had painted a beautiful picture of a spaceship.

Walter enjoyed the Gym class. Miss Nash played the piano and the class hopped

and danced to the music. Suddenly there was a loud wail. Heather had climbed the

bars at the side of the gym and she could not come down. She was very frightened.

Quick as a flash, Walter swung up the bars. He put his arm around Heather’s waist

and helped her down. The children clapped and cheered.

Miss Nash gave Walter a red star to stick on his fur. Walter looked at Lane’s star

and at Michael’s star and then at his own star.

‘It’s all right, Walter,’ said Andrew. ‘A red star is like a green star, only better!’

The Kitten at Play

See the kitten on the wall,

Sporting with the leaves that fall

Withered leaves, one, two and three,

Fall from the elder tree

Through the calm and frosty air

Of the morning bright and fair.

Now she works with three and four,

Like an Indian conjuror.

Quick as he in feats of art,

Gracefully she plays her part.

Yet were gazing thousands there,

What would little Tabby care?
