A Story - Susie

 Here is another very short story.

                  Susie

After getting into bed at her foster home, Katie quietly called to Ginger, the Labrador, who slept in her room.

"Ginger," she whispered, "I am going to tell you more about Susie."

Ginger came and sat near her, ready for the bedtime story and some pats.

"Susie likes cheesies better than chips, just like me.  She doesn't like shouting and hitting.  She's really smart and runs super fast.  We used to play in the back alley.  We pretended we were princesses and had unicorns."

Katie paused and smiled.  "She's my best friend.  You are, too."

"I told you she's a mouse, right?"
