Today you are an animal. What animal are you and why? Write a short story or poem in which you ARE that animal. What are you doing, seeing, and feeling?
Today I am a walrus. I have a long day ahead of me. First, I need to go fishing. I'm a fantastic swimmer, although I look pretty slow on land, so those fish better be careful. After I return from that tasty expedition, I'll probably lay around on the beach for a few hours and bark/ grunt with my friends. We'll all keep an eye on the baby seals of the colony and make sure that they do not go too far into the water alone or get bothered by any polar bears or orca whales, our only natural predators.
(I forgot to say what I'm feeling). I feel pretty relaxed, despite the occasional bears and whales, because being one of the biggest mammals around definitely gives one a sense of security.
Today I am a dolphin. Eating plankton all day in the bay. Diving into the water as the water smoothly rushes off my back. In the distance boaters are watching me so I quickly stop what I'm doing. Then I go to the bottom of the ocean to see all the commotion. I arrive to see a big school of seahorses. It was nothing like I had ever seen before, there was thousands of them all different colors and sizes. I sat there and watched while they all swam by. Then I swam to the coral reef to meet up with my "friends" and we played around the reef for several hours. Diving in an out of nooks and crannies so you wouldn't get tagged was the highlight of my day!
Today I am a giraffe. I live in the African savannah. There is not much to do here except run around and eat. I like to watch all of the other animals play with eachother. When it comes to dinnertime everybody is jealous because my giraffe friends and I can reach high in the trees to eat our meals. We are all very tall, the only bad thing about being this tall is we cannot lay down or we get stuck there. Drinking out of the savannah's ponds is a pain. That is what I do all day as a giraffe.
Today I am a koala. Koalas are cute but have an attitude. Koalas live in Australia. I love koalas. I am a koala. I love to climb trees. For lunch I eat eucalyptus leaves. I hung out with my koala friends and watched the kangaroos look silly with their big feet. We have low metabolisms so we just hang out all day in the tree. At night we curl up and sleep until the next day when we will probably do the same thing as the day before
Today I am a dolphin. I swim around in the ocean with millions of other seacreatures, and of course the mermaids. As i swim along, I come across boaters, swimmers, and even the bad guys with dolphin nets. We as dolphins try to avoid those nets because once your caught there is no way out. I jump out of the water and dive back in making the people around stop and watch me. I swim as I sleep and in the morning I do it all over again.
Brett Favre is an absolute animal on the football field so I would be Brett Favre. I dominate teams starting in 1992 after I get traded from the Falcons to the Packers. In my twenty years in the leadue I set every record that a quarterback can possibly set. I also win three MVPs in a row and win a Super Bowl and go to another one. I do throw my share of interceptions, but thats just because I'm trying to make plays. When I finall retire, I'm known as the best quarterback ever.
Today I would be a barn swallow. I can buzz around the pastures and fields, preforming aerobatics that nothing else on earth could do. I feel every difference in the air that passes over me and can adjust almost any feather to maintain any maneuver I desire. Keeping well feed is no difficulty, as no insect can match how quick and nimble I am. As I finish getting my fill, I see a pair of swallows and we duel against each other, one attempting to outperform the other until we worn out. When the day came to an end, I would find a shed or a barn, where I could sleep in the rafters for the night.
Today I am an elephant. I am slowly walking to the song of Africa. The sun is setting and it looks like the sky is on fire. I am towering over everything as the birds soar with me. I go to a water hole and slowly wade in. I blow the water over my body to get the days dust off. I find a cool place to sleep and lay my body down to rest.
Today I am a cat. I sit around all day, because I have absolutely nothing of importance to do. Finally when I forget about how lazy I am, I get up and strut around like I am awesome while looking for something to eat. Although I look like I am actually hunting for something, all I am really doing is looking for the neighbor's dog food bowl so I can swallow all their money and starve their pet. This is the only time in which my minimal level of intelligence comes in handy. On the way to the neighbor's house, I almost get hit by a car. But it's okay, they always swerve because they think someone loves me at home. When I am done chowing on the neighbor's stuff, I feel full and ready to finish what I started earlier that day: sleeping.
I am a gorilla Hear me roar If you don't run I'll make you sore My muscles are large And always in charge And I never have to risk it Because I have a lifetime supply of biscuits
I am a baboon All I do is sit in my rutt While the other monkeys Admire my colorful butt. I sleep alot I eat leaves and bugs too Sometimes I have to sneeze And say something like a-choo. I wander the grounds Of the tropical forrests I'm glad I'm not near the highway So I don't have to see an ugly Taurus. I love my friends We laugh and play a lot When it is bed time I lay in my large-leefed cot. Until the morning comes around I will be sleeping nice and sound. For tomorrow brings a happy day And eveything will be OTAY!
I am a dolphin swimming in the ocean and playing with all the people that are out scuba diving. even though some people may be scared of me, I am very gentle and love to let the kids ride on me. I also love making awesome dolphin sounds for all the people on the beach to hear.
I am a Yak in the cold Himalayans. I walk around at a very slow pace and weigh over one thousand pounds. People think I’m stupid, but really I'm not. I just walk around my grassy area eating the lush grass and soaking up the warm sun. The cold weather is my favorite, and I have lots of hair to keep me warm.
Today I am a bird. The weather is very nice and warm.I fly above seeing all the pretty fall leaves falling from the trees. I go up North to see the change and fly back south to compare in range. I meet up with my friends. Some are eagles. Some are hawks. I feel so free flying all around and having an endless destination. The air is warm and so calming that this day could not be any more perfect. The day has passed so fast that now it is time for me to lay down to relax.
Because I recently just got a kitten, I would be that. Everything is new, I'm seeing things i've never seen I keep my eyes open, For things that are approaching me, Everything is scary, Even the leaf on the ground But i'll get the courage to approach, In order to sniff around
Today, I am an Eagle. I am a Eagle because they are brilliant, beautiful, and free. I am soaring through the clouds. The wind ruffling my feathers. I have a sharp beak, but if I could I would smile. I feel free. Stress free. Not a care in the world. Ah, what a beautiful day. The sun just starting to peak over the horizon. I shall try to fly to it. I have no where else to be. The wind feels nice under my wings spread out so long. Today, I'll let the wind take me far away...
