One Snowy Morning

One snowy morning, a squirrel and a chipmunk discover a lump of snow with all kinds of weird things stuck in it.  The duo gathers up the buttons, mittens, carrot, hat, scarf, and other objects and brings them back home, where they make a delectable soup for a small gathering of friends.  But when morning comes, they wonder if someone else had placed those items there in preparation of their own cooking plans.

Mr. Scruff

Polly belongs to Molly, Eric belongs to Derek, and Lawrence belongs to Florence.  But Mr. Scruff belongs to no one!  He's a dog waiting at the animal shelter for just the right person to adopt him.  When Jim comes along, he is certain Mr. Scruff is the perfect dog for him, but Jim's parents aren't so convinced.  Does it matter that Mr. Scruff is old and Jim is young, or that Mr. Scruff is big and Jim is small, or that their names don't rhyme?

Nope!
