Holly The Hamster
Holly was a hamster. She came from a family called the Hamy family. They all thought that she had a problem. She always got out of her cage and went to the bathroom on the floor. It always smelt like rotten apples all over the house.It was terrible. One day their grandfather came over to get some things. Well we coundnt find Holly so they were worried that their grandfather would start to wonder what that horrible smell was. Then all of the sudden Holly was going on grandfathers shoulder. Grandfather was out the door in the blink of an eye. At that point their mother said that something had to be done about this. Well the children did not want to this they loved Holly. So they had to find something to do about this. Then there it was right in her head she would buy her a new cage it was the best idea ever invented. Well it wasnt the best idea. Do you know how hard Holly can chew? Well i do she chewed right threw that cage. So i had to think of a better plan. There it was right in my head i knew what i would do. I would put a rock where she had been chewing and getting out. It worked for a while then she chewed another hole. So then i had to think of another and a better plan. Then it hit me i would put her in this really cool box that had everything that shr needed in it. It also had holes in it so she could breath and it worked we never smelt the smell of rotten apples again!
