COOKIE’S BAD DAY
It all started on a Saturday afternoon I was going back home.
After playing video games over at my friend Vicky’s the
dragonfly’s house. I was almost reaching my driveway when I
noticed a mysterious metal box that was half buried
underneath the maple tree next to my house. I walked over to
it and dug it out I slowly opened it inside the box was a silver
collar with a note next to it. I took the note out and read it
WARNING TO ANYONE WHO DARES TO WEAR THIS
COLLAR YOU’LL HAVE NOTHING BUT BAD LUCK FOR
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
After reading the note for the second time I took the collar out and
looked at it closely
There’s no way that such a beautiful collar like this could cause
any kind of bad luck. This was probably someone’s idea of stupid
joke I thought to myself. I just put the collar on and buried the box
and note where I found it. I wasn’t even one minute inside of my house
when my mom walked out of the kitchen and yelled
Cookie where have you been? You should’ve been home an hour ago!
I’m sorry I was over at Vicky’s house playing video games. I must’ve not
noticed how late it was
That’s no excuse young lady her mother snorted now go and clean your
room. I’ll call you when dinner’s ready!
Aw! But mom I already—
Don’t aw mom me now go!
From that day my luck turned from bad to worst. Not only was my
mom mad at me but the next day I totally forgot to study for my
math quiz the night before and failed it. But I also forgot that Ms.
Dragon one of my favorite TV actress was coming to my school that
afternoon to speak to us about the importance of reading
Hey where have you been? My friend Daisy the rabbit asked as I met her
by the gym’s double doors
I’ve been waiting for you for more then ten minutes!
Don’t ask I mumbled as we walked inside the gym. And even though
it was almost filled up. We managed to find two seats in the front row.
Then after what seemed like hours finally Ms. Dragon walked through
the front doors. Everyone started clapping and yelling out her name
including me. In fact I was
so excited that I forgot that I put my water bowl down next to me and
accidentally knocked it over with my paw
A minute later everyone gasped when they saw that Ms. Dragon slipped
on the wet floor and fell right on top of me
My ankle! She cried out horrified
Her ankle? What about my paws believe me she wasn’t as
light as she appeared to be. Mrs. Fox and some of the other
teachers rushed over to assist Ms. Dragon. Who was still crying
about her stupid ankle none of them even bothered to ask me if I
was okay all they cared about was her precious ankle. A few minutes
later Mrs. Fox came back inside the gym and told everyone that Ms.
Dragon had a real bad sprain on her ankle and wouldn’t be able to speak
with us today
Oh nice going Cookie you just had to spill your bowl didn’t you Daisy
scowled me once we were outside
Hey it was an accident! And how bad could’ve she sprained
her dumb ankle. She landed on top of me not the floor! I whined
Yah that part was pretty funny! You should’ve seen the look on your
face when she landed on you! Daisy giggled well I’ll see you later I
promise Vicky that I’d help her with her science project
Gee what a pal I smirked to myself once she hoped away
When I got home my right paw began to swell up like a balloon. And if
that wasn’t bad enough a few minutes later it started to go numb. From
all the ice packs that my mom kept putting on it
Later that night as I was lying in my bed waiting for the feeling in
my paw to return. I knew that I had to return the collar I got up
really early the next morning and sneaked outside before my mom
would notice that I was even missing. Once I got there I started digging
for the box but it wasn’t there
Oh great now what am I going to do? I sighed I was about to
go back home when I noticed a small piece of paper sticking out a small
hole. I ran over to it and read it
IF YOU WANT YOUR BAD LUCK TO CHANGE YOU MUST FIND
THE METAL BOX AND RETURN THE COLLAR AND BURY IT UNDER
THIS TREE!
Well that was a waste of time how am I going to do that if I can’t
find the metal thing! I crumpled the paper but before I threw it away.
Something caught my eye on back of the paper someone had drawn a
picture of my bedroom
Now that’s weird? I thought to my myself I stared at the
picture this time more carefully. That’s when I saw it the metal box it
was sitting on top of my toy chest inside of my room
Feeling both nervous and confused I ran inside and up to my room. And just
as the picture showed there it was and though it was driving me crazy
wondering how the box got inside my room. I was so relived that I was
finally going to get rid of the dumb thing and hopefully my bad luck will go
it
I quickly took off the collar and place it inside the box. I was about to go
outside and bury it when my mom walked into my room
Oh good you’re up we’ll be leaving in twenty minutes she said
Leaving where?
I promised Mrs. Tiger that I’d help her with this school’s bake sale this
morning
Aw mom! Do I really have to go can’t I just stay here until I get back? I
whined
Sure sweetie no problem my mother smiled
Really? Oh wow thanks!
In about ten years or more from now! She interrupted
laughing now move your little tail and start getting ready! We don’t want to
be late
I really hate it when she does that I frowned to myself once she left the
room
The next day I guess my mom noticed that there was something wrong.
Cause when I got home from band practice she had my favorite snack
waiting for me
Cooks you look a little down is there’s something bothering you? She
asked. And after I finished the last bite of my meaty bone I told her the
whole story
And did you rebury it? She asked after I finished
Yep right after we got home from the bake sale
Oh wow! I hope that I never find something like that
Yah I learned my lesson the next time I see something that
