Girl Scouting Joy By: Abbey Mason
Narrative So we are at the meeting On a cold Thursday evening Going on with our normal Girl Scout Greetings When we hear a hiss and a clang, we all start screaming Being the scout I am I’m calm, cool, and collected But not this time I seem to be just the opposite I ran outside to see what the fuss was about It turns out the noise was just a cat, that had turned over the trash can That cat now sits in my lap!
