One day I got a watermelon and I ate it up fast. I felt strange with four legs and fur “hang on I feel like I have canines like a tiger? That's strange because.. I WAS A TIGER! “But I will have fun with this” I whispered. I got into a red panda and quietly I went to the park to climb trees. Once I got into a very big tree, I got to work with creating a super secret hangout place in the tree
The next day I accidentally got out of control! So when I was happy I turned into a wolf with people all around me. My eyes went BRIGHT I was ready to attack and I DID! Zoo Pawtrol saw me frightening the locals off the town and leashed me up! They threw me in the cage and locked me up tight. “No no no no if I get into a zoo I will stay a wolf forever and I think it will come true, NOOOO, Ahwooohoo!” I sat down in the cold cage crying and sobbing consistently.
The next day I woke up to a bump and a thump “huh what was that I OUCH I hit my head” I howled. “Uh Oh I think I’m in the zoo!” I looked outside “OH NO MY ENCLOSURE?!” Then I got lifted up to the zoo “HELP S.O.S SOMEBODY!” I yelled. “SOMEBODY I'm in the enclosure”.
I was next to the tiger enclosure “I'm in the zoo now and that means I am a wolf now” I howled. “Hang on why are humans going up to me.. in my eyes SO MUCH LIGGGHHTT!” I was so worried but a lady came into the enclosure and she had a bucket of meat. She picked up a slice of meat and threw it at me “FREE LUNCH FROM A LADY!” Zoo’s have great service for my taste, speaking of dig IN!”
The End.
