Julie’s
Very Lonely Day
One day, little
Julie Gómez was very lonely and bored.
What could she do?
She found a jar of
paint and a box of art supplies and drew a yellow oval, two
orange triangles, and two black squiggles.
But the butterfly
smelled a sweet pink flower growing in the garden and flew away
to find it.
So Julie grabbed
some clay and made a green oval, a red circle, a gold triangle,
and a purple triangle.
But the bird felt
the lift of a blue jay's wings, and she flew away to join her
friends.
So Julie got a brush
and painted two green ovals, two little green circle, and long
jagged legs.
But the frog's belly
growled when a mosquito buzzed by, and he jumped away to catch
it.
So Julie sketched
two big brown ovals, four rectangles, two triangles, and a long
tail to wag.
But the dog saw a
cat creeping by, and he leapt off the paper to chase it away.
Julie was still lonely.
She glued together
shapes of all colors and made a collage of many little boys and
girls.
She drew brown eyes
and green eyes, blue eyes and gray eyes, and triangle noses.
Then Julie began to
sing. And as heard her song...
one by one, the
children jumped off the page. And Julie was not lonely anymore.
