Short Story #2

Here is another one of my made up bed time stories. It deals with a girl who has a food allergy.


Kate and Her Forest Friends Make Pizza

By Rita Jean Moran





            Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Kate.  She had many friends in the forest.  She played with Owl, Deer, Robin, Squirrel, Raccoon, Mouse, Frog, and Rabbit.  They would play hide and seek, tag, treasure hunt and many other games.  One day they decided to have a party to celebrate Kate’s birthday.  They all wanted to order a pizza, but Kate was allergic to milk products.  She could not have pizza with cheese on it because it made it hard for her to breathe and it hurt her stomach.  She didn't mind if her friends had the pizza, though.  The group sat down and tried to figure out what they would have on their pizza.
            “What should we put on the pizza? asked Kate.
            “How about some nuts?” asked Squirrel.
            “How about some greens?” asked Deer.
            “How about some worms?” asked Robin.
            “Ewwww,” said Kate.
            “I love worms,” said Frog.
            “How about some mushrooms?” asked Owl.
            “How about some garbage?” asked Raccoon.
            “How about some cheese?” asked Mouse.
            “How about some marigolds?” asked Rabbit.

            Kate looked at all her friends.  They had such different tastes for food, that she did not know what to do.  She sat and thought and thought.
            “Well?” asked Owl.
            “I think we should get a cheese pizza and everyone could put whatever they want on their slice,” said Kate.
            “Excellent idea,” said Raccoon.
            “Lovely idea,” said Deer.
            “Fantastic,” said Squirrel.
            “Yummy,” said Rabbit.
            “I love it,” said Robin.
            “Superb,” said Frog.
            “I just want cheese,” said Mouse.
            “Then that is what we shall do,” said Kate.
            "But what will you have Kate?" asked Owl.
            "I can't have the cheese on the pizza," said Kate.
The group sat a moment and thought.
            "What if we make our own pizza with soy cheese?" asked Mouse.
The group looked at Kate.
            " I can have soy cheese, that would be great," said Kate.
           "Then soy cheese it is," said Owl.

So Kate made 3 large soy cheese pizzas and everyone put their toppings on their own slices and Kate was very happy and so were all her forest friends.

The End.
