It
all started when our family kept my first grade teacher's guinea pig
for the summer. It turned out that my second grade teacher also had a
guinea pig that I took care of and became quite attached to. My brother
and I decided that we needed a guinea pig from Santa. Our parents agreed
that as long as we shared the guinea pig, got it as a joint present, and
took care of it then it would be all right. So we agreed, deciding that
a shared guinea pig was better than no piggy at all. Well time passed
and one night in late November we went out to eat dinner at someone's
house. When we returned I happened to pass through the living room, and
there sticking out of the fireplace was a large, green, plastic box. Of
course that made me curious so I peeked into it. I saw wood shavings, a
food bowl of carrots, and a water bottle. Then in the corner I saw it- a
small guinea pig!!! I instantly shouted the news to my family. Everyone
rushed in to see out new family member. A letter from Santa explained
that he had known that the guinea pig would not be allowed on the plane
so he had brought her early. Two months passed, and Lightning grew
longer and much fatter. Then on the morning of February 10 when we woke
up we discovered that Lightning was a mother!!! She had brought us three
new and unexpected family members. We gave them all away, but still love
their small mother very much!
