Cheetah (2007)
“She took a deep breath. Bugs and worms were not her favourite creatures. But Cheetah was hungry!
She turned over a rock. Three roly-poly bugs were hiding there. The frog book called them “wood lice.” Mia knew that people sometimes got lice in their hair. She wouldn’t want these roly-polies rolling around her head! She scooped them into the bucket.
Now for the worms. The garden was always full of worms. Mia turned over some dirt with her spoon. Two juicy worms poked their heads out. Or maybe it ...was their tails. It was hard to tell. Mia scooped them into her pail.
She didn’t look for spiders. Wood lice and worms stayed in the pail, but spiders would crawl out. Mia did NOT want to have to chase them.
Maggie came out the back door.
“What’s in the bucket?” she asked.
“An after-school snack,” said Mia.
Maggie peeked in the pail. She pretended to throw up.
“Very funny,” said Mia. “They’re for Cheetah.”
“Do you have to kill them first?”
“I don’t think so,”MoreLess
