The Potion

   The sheep were running around,falling off the edge of the hill. I was trying to put all of the sheep in their pens by waving my arms around and yelling at them, while Pat the dog was laying down and licking his bone.

   When dad came back from the market he screamed at me because the sheep were all over the place. I don't like when dad shouts at me when it's not my fault. Well, that was enough because this time dad grounded me for something that I didn't do.

   So I thought of a great idea, what if I make a potion for that big old bag of meat, Pat into something helpful. 

  Today I woke up, I ran down the stairs, I grabbed the saucepan and ran to the bathroom.

I'll put some shampoo maybe even a packet full. 
I'll put some toothpaste and some oxygenated water 3%, for sure 
I think I'm missing something, 
something very important, 
I think I am missing some shaving foam.

  Okay I have what I want from the bathroom, now let's go to the kitchen.

I'll put some tea and biscuits
I'll put some milk too, 
I'll put a packet of coffee not too strong. 
Hey, I forgot about the ham and the cheese

  That was fun. Now let's cook it. So I put the saucepan on the gas ring to cook the mixture. While the mixture was boiling some red, blue, green and yellow smoke was coming out and it made me float above the ground and it made me say things like milky cow, porky pig and stuff like that. When all that finished I went outside to give it to Pat. When I gave a spoonful of that mixture Pat started to run around me and he jumped up and down. When that finished he wasn't a big fat dog but he was a great thin and smart dog. 'Yes, it worked,' I said.
'What worked?' Pat asked.
'You can talk!' I said.
'Of course I can talk. I can even fly,' Pat said.

'What?' I screamed. 'Can you help me by putting all the sheep in their pen?'
'Yes, Marley.' So Pat put all of the sheep in their pens. When dad came back from work he thanked me and I said 'I didn't do it.'

'Really, Then who did it?' Dad said.
'I did it,' Pat said.
'What! That's impossible.' Dad said.' How did you do it?'
'I just put sum stuff together, cooked them and gave a spoonful to Pat.'
'Wow that's amazing.' Dad said and we went back home.
