MY FALL KITTENS
by Katie

I was running along and I saw four little kittens. I took them home. I took them home and gave them a bath and then they went out running with me. We ran through the colors red, orange, yellow, green, and brown. Then it was time to go home. "Good night," I said to the kittens. And that was our day.

RUNNING IN THE FALL LEAVES
by Scott

I like fall because my dad blows the leaves in piles. We run from the leaves when my dad blows them in our face. We run fast from the wind. When I run I feel like I'm falling. We run and jump in the leaves. I love running in the fall.
