Grandma could smell the mouth watering cookies “thank you” said grandma “bye now” said grandma. So she walked home “oh no its raining” yelled Leah it was starting to rain cats and dogs Leah started to run, but she went the wrong way and then, there was a big yellow light. She went to see what it was it was a big yellow hall “HELP” she yelled she got sucked in to it. Her mind went black “what’s happening?” she yells. She falls asleep. Then she wakes up “where am I” she said then she turned around she saw a flying fish “that’s so cool” said Leah. There was a voice coming from behind her “ hi” said the voice. “What are you” Leah said “me, I’m a squink” said the voice. “What’s a squink?”asked Leah. “It’s a little cute bear” said the voice. “You are very cute” said Leah.
