Bb Barney Bear
Barney Bear bought a bee in a bottle.
The bee in the bottle kept buzzing.
Barney became bored with the bee buzzing in the bottle,
so
that bad bear broke the bottle.
The bee buzzed into the bush
and
Barney went back and bought a beetle in a box.
Atlas began to blow a bubble as he thought about Australia... There were a lot of strange animals in Australia -- koala bears and duck-billed platypussies and of course there were kangaroooOOOOOOs! The rocking chair shuddered and shook, and bounced in the air! Atlas looked down in amazement. He was sitting in the pouch of a big red kangaroo.
Without thinking about how scared I was, I dove. It was like diving into cold midnight. My ears roared as the water closed over my head.
I kicked downward, blindly reaching with my hands. My clawing fingers raked the outside wall of the cabin. I followed the wall down to where it met the deck. If the ax was still on board, that's where I would find it.
Just as I was about to run out of air, I felt the smooth long handle of the ax. I grabbed it and pushed upward.
