First Snow Fall

Pretending
I like to pretend.I like to make up things that aren't real.I use my imagination.
I was pretending that I was in a time machine.I set the date for a prehistoric time.
I turned on the time machine, and it buzzed and whirred and spun madly.
When it stopped spinning, I opened the door and stepped out into a very thick jungle.
I listened carefully to the sounds of the jungle.I could hear strange animal noises, and the leaves were rustling.
I wasn't sure if I had gone back in time or had just landed in a jungle somewhere in the
twenty first century.It didn't take me long to realize that I had indeed gone back in time.
A very strange bird-like creature with a large beak flew overhead.I had never seen anything like it in my life.I took a few steps out into the long grass and ferns.
I didn't want to go too far away from my time machine.I heard a noise over on my right side.There was a man who looked quite different from me.He was dressed in an animal skin, and he carried a big stick.I didn't want him to see me, so I hid behind a tree.
He didn't speak any language that I could understand.He grunted at someone who must have been in the distance.Then, I felt the earth shake beneath my feet.
I heard giant thumps on the ground as the floor of the jungle shook.The man in the animal skin began to run.I saw why he was running.A giant dinosaur appeared above the tops of the trees.It was bigger than anything I had ever seen.My heart began to pound in my chest.
It was coming toward me.I ran toward my time machine and jumped in.I set the dial for the twenty-first century.The machine whirred and buzzed.My time machine landed in the twenty-first century.I got away just in time.
A Baby
My aunt just had a baby girl.We went to the hospital to visit my aunt and to see the new baby.My aunt was feeling fine, although she was just a bit tired.
She walked with us to a big window that had lots of babies behind it.She pointed to a crib with a baby in it.The baby was wrapped in a pink blanket.We all said how pretty the baby looked.I couldn't believe how tiny the baby was.She was asleep, so we couldn't see her eyes.When the baby went home, we went to visit her.We heard the baby.She was crying.My aunt said that the baby was hungry.My aunt had a baby bottle full of warm milk.
She fed the baby with it.The baby was happy after that.
My aunt patted the baby on the back until the baby burped, and then the baby fell asleep.
I held the baby.I looked at her tiny fingers and tiny toes.I was very careful with her.
She opened her eyes and looked at me.I spoke to the baby, but I knew that she could not understand me.Babies have to learn to walk and talk.My aunt changed the baby.
Babies wear diapers, so they need to be changed often.The baby has a lot of toys, but she is still too young to play with them.My aunt says that it won't be long before the baby is crawling and trying to talk.Babies are cute.I have seen pictures of myself when I was a baby, and it's hard to believe that I was once that small.
