Sylvia Smith brought~a guihea pig*:
to school on Thursday. At first I did
not believe that she had it in the box
but- she did. Then when she came closer t
to me I saw something in the box. Then
she went in the school and I looked in
the box and there was the guinea pig in
the box.
Mrs. Hughes read about the guinea
pig, and the book said that if you pull
its tail its eyes-will come out.
