XOXOXOXO
AMY








THE  LAUGHING  KOOKABURRAS


LAUGHED ALL  THE  WAY  TO  THE  AUDITION.   THEY


WERE  HOPING   TO  BE  SELECTED  FOR  THE  PART


OF  "ANNOUNCER".  LAUGHING  LARRY  WAS  SURE


HE  WOULD  GET  THE  PART  BECAUSE  HE  COULD


OPEN  HIS  MOUTH  REAL  WIDE....BUT  HIS  BROTHER


VINNY  TOLD  HIM  HE  WOULD  NOT  BE SELECTED


BECAUSE  LAUGHING  LARRY  COULDN'T  SAY  5


WORDS  WITHOUT  LAUGHING


HE  FLEW  AROUND  THE  BUILDING  AND  HE  


PACED  BACK  AND  FORTH  OCCASIONALLY


PECKING  AT  THE  GROUND.  HE  MUMBLED,  "JUST


WAIT...LAUGHING  LARRY  HAS  BEEN  MADE  FUN  


OF  ENOUGH  AND  IT  WILL  STOP


WHEN  I  AM  SELECTED  AS  "ANNOUNCER"


  


THE  AUDITIONS  WENT  ON  AND  ON.....THERE  WAS  A  DANCING  HORSE,  A  SWEET


LITTLE  OWL,  TWO  WONDERFUL  BOYS  THAT  TRIED  TO  PASS  THEMSELVES  OFF


AS  BIRDS,  AND  A FLIMT  DOLL.








"COME  ON,"  LAUGHING  LARRY

SAID  TO  HIS  BROTHERS  AND  SISTERS.


"JACQUELYN,  SAID  THEY  WERE  GOING


TO  ANNOUNCE  THE  WINNERS  AND


FOR  EVERYONE  TO  TAKE  A  SEAT."





  JACQUELYN  RANG  HER  FARM  BELL,


AND  SAID,  "YOU


CAN  HUDDLE  ON  THE  TREE  BRANCHES


IF  YOU  CAN  HEAR ME  TALKING.  FOR


THE  HORSES  WHO  AUDITIONED,  WE 


HAVE  OPENED  ALL  THE  WINDOWS  AND


YOU  CAN  STICK  YOUR  HEADS 


THROUGH  THE  WINDOWS.  IF  YOU 


CAN'T HEAR  JUST  WHINEY."


FIRST  I  WANT  TO  THANK  EACH  OF


YOU  FOR  TRYING  OUT.  PLEASE  DO


NOT  BE  DISHEARTENED  IF  YOU  WERE


NOT  PICKED  TODAY.  WE  HAVE  MANY


AUDITIONS  COMING  UP.

Debbie, you ought to just have a blog where you show your amazing stories!!! I would love to see them made into books. I can even see them made into books for children - they need wholesome, funny stories to read, not all this Transformers and Sponge Bob stuff.

Well I guess you made me into a pelican because of my big ol' mouth and ability to EAT A LOT!! lol

I will drop by Jacquelyn's blog and see the sights! That owl is just precious!!!

How adorable Debbie! So sweet of you to do such a kind thing for Jaquelyn.

I'll be praying for you dear one and for the others on your list. God be with each and everyone of the folks on our prayer lists.

Big hugs, Sherry
