How Emmy Got Purple Whiskers
By Addie and Mommy

It all
started one Saturday afternoon in January when Grandpa gave Emmy and her
friends to Addie Lu. Shortly after Emmy’s move, Addie taught her how to play
Ring Around the Roses. Emmy played and played this new game with her friends
Fred, Beep, and Deep.
One
time, as “they all fell down,” Emmy saw a quilt of tiny deep purple berries.
“Look!” Emmy exclaimed. “Berries! BLUE berries!”
“Yum!”
“My
favorite!”
“Oh la
la!”
The
friends ran to the blueberry patch and ate and ate until they fell asleep with
tummies full and faces covered with the small treats.
They
slept really well and when they woke up, they were purple! Emmy tried to wipe
the purple off, and she scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed with
Dora soap in the bath, but the purple wouldn’t come off of her nose and
whiskers.
To this
day, Emmy’s nose and whiskers are as purple as a plum, and she still falls
asleep eating blueberries in the patch.
