The Day Came to Stay
To May-May and her brand new sister, Bernadette, with love from Aunt Sue
One fine day, Mommy and Daddy and May-May went to the zoo.
First they went to see the monkeys in the Monkey House.
“Can I bring one of these monkeys home with me, Mommy, so I can play with them up in my room? asked May-May. “I don’t think you would like that,” Mommy said, “they would make a big mess and make your room smell like banana peels.” May-May wrinkled her nose and said, “Ewwww!”
Then they went to see the giraffes. “How about a giraffe,” May-May asked, “We could keep it in the backyard.” “Oh no,” laughed Daddy, “How would we ever get a giraffe home?” May-May wondered if a giraffe could fit in a big yellow taxi.
They went to see the birds next and May-May saw a great big parrot perched on a branch. It was yellow and blue and red. “Look,” said May-May, pointing at the parrot, “he is soooo pretty!”
“PRETTY BIRD, PRETTY BIRD,” screeched the parrot. “Yikes,” Mommy said, laughing, “I think it’s time to go home.”
Back home, May-May went and sat by her window. She wished there was someone she could play with on such a fine day.
Suddenly, she heard a funny sound.... It came from up here!
No, it came from down there!
Suddenly a little fuzzy bug landed on her windowsill. It was yellow and black and it had big dark eyes. “Who are you?” asked May-May. “I am Miss Bumble,” said the little creature, “but you can call me Bea.”
May-May gently touched her delicate wings and said, “Little Bea, can you play with me today?”
Bea buzzed around and around in a happy dance. “I can play with you today and every day,” she said.
And that is just what they did. May-May and Bea played together every day.
Bea showed May-May all her favorite flowers...
and May-May took Bea to the beach...
Even a rainy day couldn’t stop them from having fun.
And on very fine days, everybody went to the zoo.
The End.
