MY BLUE BELL
I was having a very good day until I fell and broke my leg. It all started
when I climbed that old ladder after the annoying squirrel on my roof.
It was my fault that I slipped off the ladder. I should have let that annoying
pest go on about his business but I was trying to sleep.....If my neighbor hadn't
come home, I would still be lying on the ground in my back yard, screaming for
help. In all that pain, I still thought about my Blue Bell Ice Cream I was going
to eat after my nap! I was angry and in pain. Suddenly the ambulance came!
Two men with a stretcher came and scooped me up like a shovel picking up
dirt! "Ouch!" Take it easy! " I screamed. They apologized....I asked them for
some Blue Bell Ice Cream. They looked at each other, slid me in the ambulance
and laughed. Slam! They closed the ambulance door and rushed me to the
Emergency room at a hospital named Cream Medical Center.
