If I were a chipmunk, I will not play with other chipmunks, I will steal more acorns and keep them for winter, When winter comes I will count my acorns to see if they are enough, If they are not enough I will eat them little by little, I will always be tough though I am small, I will fight all, I will then sleep, I will be a hero for all!                                                                                                                     by Michelle Odei
