PUPPIES

By Adrijana

At Grandview Elementary, there has always been a theory that they keep puppies in the basement of the school. I often heard noises like a puppy coming through the vents, but our teacher told us never to go down to the basement. I really wanted to see if there were any puppies down there, so I opened the basement door and tiptoed down to look. I didn’t see a puppy. Then, my teacher yanked me out of the basement and got angry with me. My teacher had never done that before and it made me sad, so I cried. My teacher told me never to go in the basement again, then she gave me a cookie. That made me feel better, so I didn’t ask her why the boy in the basement was making noises like a puppy and why he had no arms or legs.
