Winter and Pretty Blue Eyes

This is a story for my daughter Payten, who received a hermit crab from her Aunt Colleen last night.  Payten loves animals more than people at times it seems

The Hermit Crab walked gently across the sand and carefully examined his new home.  He found the palm tree to his liking, and there was even a bowl with some yummy treats inside.  I am going to make sure I climb everywhere, he proclaimed and off he went.

Climbing up the tree, he found it not to his liking as it crashed into the food bowl.  I am most certainly not a snack! He crawled toward the door and using his claws tried to open the door.  Oh this will not do, I want to roam free.  He looked up the the sky and saw the bars and was very surprised to see two blue eyes staring down at him.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!  My name is Payten Maree, or Pay-Pay for short, would you like to be my friend?

The hermit crab heard the sounds but could not understand as Hermit Crabs don't understand kids till they get out of Hermit crab school.  He clicked his claws to say,  let me out right now!!  Payten smiled and said "I bet you want out don't you, Id really like to sleep with you but I cant fit in the cage (Payten knows a little hermit crab).  Hermit Crab began to realize his situation and started to go back into his shell, when it began to rain.  It was coming from the eyes of the little blue eyed girl.  Oh no!  this will never do and out of the shell he came and cried out "You are making my home a mess, please don't cry!" 

I'm sorry if you are sad but I will take good care of you mister hermit crab I promise.  Ill keep you away from my daddy as he killed my rainbow fish.  (The author did not).  I will name you winter because you look like a snowball, but I wont put you in the freezer! (Nor will the author)

As Winter now looked up and saw her his heart grew warm as her pretty blue eyes comforted him.  I think I will like it here, and he scooted over to pretty blue eyes and let her pet him on the shell.  They were very happy, then the earthquake came....rumble rumble rumble.  That's my brother Collin..... we better run!    The End!
