BR 2-10: Corduroy's Hike

There were Lisa and her bear, Corduroy. Lisa was going to go to hike with her classmates. She checked her backpack. She said “You have to stay here, Corduroy. You might get lost on a hike.” Corduroy thought I will not get lost. He crawled into the backpack. Corduroy also thought I will be safe in here. The bus had come. Lisa sat next to Susan. Susan asked her, “What did you bring?” Lisa was surprised because Corduroy was in her backpack! “You might get lost on a hike.” “Corduroy will be safe.” said Susan. Lisa hoped Susan was right. At the park Lisa and Susan found a stream. They dropped sticks into the water. The sticks came out the other side. “I see mine!” they cried. Then it was time to hike. Corduroy bounced along in the backpack. The class hiked higher and higher. Corduroy poked his head out and bounced out of the backpack. Corduroy was on to the trail.

Soon two hikers came by and picked up Corduroy. Then, Cub Scout walked. They picked up Corduroy and tossed him in the air. Corduroy landed on the side of the trail. Then Corduroy fell into the stream. Soon it began to dark. Lisa sat down and stared at her feet. Corduroy was gone. She had looked everywhere for him, Susan said “We were playing the stick game again. My sticks all came out on the other side.” Lisa nodded. “Something else came out on the other side, too.” said Susan. She handed Corduroy to Lisa. Lisa was very glad to back Corduroy.

I liked the words, “My sticks all came out on the other side.”(Alison, 2007, p.35) I feel relief that Corduroy found. I think Corduroy also felt relief that he came back to Lisa.
