Chapter 3

[Part 1 is here.  Part 2 is here.  This is the thrilling conclusion of "The Animal Friends."]

After they finished watching the surfer girl movie, the animal friends had some lunch.  They had peanut butter and nutted sandwiches.  [A nutted sandwich is when you add extra nuts to your peanut butter.  This time, the chipmunk went outside to the back yard and picked up acorns to chop up for the sandwiches.  She had to be fast because there was a squirrel outside, too, and you do NOT want to eat acorns that squirrels have eaten!]

After the sandwiches, everyone put on their jackets so they could go outside.  The chipmunk's jacket was pink, the elephant's jacket was green, the pig's jacket was purple, the monkey's jacket was dark orange, the gorilla's jacket was blue, and the baby bear's jacket was yellow.  They all ran around in circles and were very dizzy outside.

After that they were ready for an adventure!  Everyone packed a flashlight, a backpack, and a sleeping bag.  But nobody packed a tent!  They went next door to the horse's barn for their adventure.  The horse was nice and opened the door for them.  She also put together a tent for them to sleep in.  It was a big tent--big enough for everyone to fit--and it was yellow because that's what color tents should be.

They also had a campfire and roasted marshmallows and hotdogs.  They didn't tell ghost stories around the campfire, but they did read a story about Monster Pinkfoot.  He's a boy.  He's pink.  He's a pretty nice guy.  And then, while they were reading his story, he showed up so he could sing them a song.

"I .... like to sing.  Oh, I ... like to sing!"

That's the end of the song.

And that's also the very end of "The Animal Friends" story.
