 I Found Two Eggs
by James, second grade writer
One day I was walking at the lake and I saw two crocodile eggs. It was just so very strange so I decided to take them home with me in order to keep them healthy and warm. I wanted to see what would hatch. So I put them in a string net and scooped them in.
When they hatched, I named them Ted and Freddy.
I made them a home in a water tank so they could swim and put sand in the tank so they could make a bed. They were hungry so I put them in the river so they could eat fish.
When they got older I decided to let them go. They learned a lot from me and so did I, but I mostly learned that Freddy and Ted don’t like to be petted in the wrong spot.
 I Found a Baby Saber Tooth Tiger
by Alan, second grade writer
One day I was walking in the park when I saw a baby saber tooth tiger. It was just so very lonely that I decided to take him home with me in order to care for him and be happy.
I called him Alex. He was so small and cute. I made him a bed in a big shoe box with a warm blanket and some grass so it was like in the jungle. He was so lonely I let him sleep with a soft toy.
He was so hungry and I got meat and fed it to him. He ate like a lion. Alex needed to learn to hunt so I bought a rabbit and he hunted it.
I put him in a zoo. He was happier in the zoo with friends. I learned to hunt rabbit from him.
 I Found a Crab
by Ivan, second grade writer
One day I was swimming in Lake Tahoe. When I got out of the lake I saw a crab walking on the sand.
It was so very tiny and hungry that I decided to take it home with me because he was cute. He was hungry and tiny and had six legs. I made him a bed in my room. He slept in a bucket with salt water. He was lonely at night. I put my teddy bear in with my crab.
He ate worms and he ate them like a dog. My crab rolled over. I taught him to swim in a tank. He loved it.
I put him in his tank and drove him to the zoo. He is happy there in his new home. I miss him whenever I swim at the lake.
