Meeka's World

Meeka began to create the next part of the group story. "Meekasoo, the frog lover, lived near the Kingdom of Frog Pond in the Green Hotel. While Ninaka was exploring her way toward the birthday party, Meekasoo found a three-eyed-rainbow-frog for Bellkoo's birthday, to which she too was invited. Meekasoo thought to herself, "Who would not love this amphibian beauty? He is s-o-o-o-o cute, handsome, and adorable! Look at him, look at him! His eyes sparkle like Prince Charming's!'

As she started to reach for the frog, a very rare, black colored lily pad, right in the middle of the pond, caught her eye. 'Look how beautiful this lily pad is! I would love to get some measurements of this Night Beauty before it closes up.

"Meekasoo grabbed her special bag full of scientific instruments that went every-where with her. Inside her bag was a ruler, a stopwatch, a barometer, a thermometer, a calculator, a scale, a speedometer, and of course, her favorite frog pencil and red notebook. She planned to record her measurements in section 199.072 of her notebook: Lily Pad Observations."

"Sounds of 'squish, squash, squish, squash' echoed everywhere as Meekasoo waded toward her project. Time passed very quickly as the science loving girl gathered measurements for her red notebook with excitement. Then Meekasoo noticed a beautiful reflection of the full moon on the pond. The moon was already high up in the sky and shimmering very brightly. 'Oh, no! I forgot about the birthday party.' Meekasoo exclaimed! She began to sprint toward Bellkoo's castle through the dark forest, using her homemade paperclip compass for navigating. When she reached the Hall of Lollipop Singers, she realized that she had forgotten something. 'Bellkoo's gift! Oh well, I'll bring two gifts next year,' sighed Meekasoo as she strolled toward the party excitedly."
