We like to take words that rhyme. We put them together line by line. Do get the picture now？ We're playing the game，and this is how. I might say that I like to drive a car. I really don't like to go very far. If I decide to take a walk，I'd like go with a friend so that we could talk. Do you see that these lines rhyme？ Play the game，if you have time. We could talk about school or even playing. Do you know I am saying？ Rhyming words is easy to do. It's fun for me，it can be fun for you. Just join in and say something. Or make it into a song that you can sing. There are so many words that rhyme with others. Like“smile”and“mile”，and“mothers”and“brothers”. I could spend all day just making up these things. I could let my imagination fly on wings. Up to the could and back to my mind. There are so many rhymes that I can find. There are some words that are hard to find rhymes for. I don't use those words anymore. I like to choose words that are easy to rhyme. Like “cat”and“bat”or“lime”and“time”. So give it a try，you'll have fun. I'll say “goodbye”，my rhyming is done.

It was a little baby spaniel. The puppy loved all of us. She ran around and licked all of our faces. We had always wanted a dog. We take turns feeding the puppy and taking her out for walks.

I am inside the church waiting for my cousin to walk down the aisle. Today is her wedding day. She is a bride. The organist is playing a song on the organ. We all stand up and watch my cousin walk down the aisle. She is arm in arm with her father. She is dressed in a long white dress and a veil. She looks so beautiful. She looks like a princess. The man who she is going to marry is standing at the front of the church. He is the groom. He looks nice too. He is wearing a suit，and he has a flower in his lapel. The minister says words to the couple which will make them man and wife. The bride and groom smile at each other，but they seem to be a little bit nervous. They give each other gold rings to wear to symbolize that they are married. They kiss each other and walk out of the church as the organist plays joyous music. Some of the people in church cried at the wedding，but not because they were sad. Everyone in the church is very happy for the couple. A photographer takes pictures of the happy couple. We wish them well and look forward to the reception where we will have a dinner，and we will dance and have a good time until it is very late. The bride will throw her bouquet of flowers，and it is said whoever catches the bouquet will be the next bride. The next day，the bride and groom will leave for their honeymoon. My cousin and her husband are going to Mexico for their honeymoon.

My aunt was feeling fine，although she was just a bit tired. She walked with us to a big window that had lots of babies behind it. She pointed to a crib with a baby in it. The baby was wrapped in a pink blanket. We all said how pretty the baby looked. I couldn't believe how tiny the baby was. She was asleep，so we couldn't see her eyes. When the baby went home，we went to visit her. We heard the baby. She was crying. My aunt said that the baby was hungry. My aunt had a baby bottle full of warm milk. She fed the baby with it. The baby was happy after that. My aunt patted the baby on the back until the baby burped，and then the baby fell asleep. I held the baby. I looked at her tiny fingers and tiny toes. I was very careful with her. She opened her eyes and looked at me. I spoke to the baby，but I knew that she could not understand me. Babies have to learn to walk and talk. My aunt changed the baby. Babies wear diapers ，so they need to be changed often. The baby has a lot of toys，but she is still too young to play with them. My aunt said that it won't be long before the baby is crawling and trying to talk. Babies are cute.

I like to make up things that aren't real. I use my imagination. I was pretending that I was in a time machine. I set the date for a prehistoric time. I turned on the time machine，and it buzzed and whirred and spun madly. When it stopped spinning，I opened the door and stepped out into a very thick jungle. I listened careful to the sound of the jungle. I could hear strange animal noises，and the leaves were rustling. I wasn't sure that I had gone back in time or had just landed in a jungle somewhere in the twenty first century. It didn't take me long time to realize that I had indeed gone back in time. A very strange bird-like creature with a large beak flew overhead. I had never seen anything like it in my life. I took a few steps out into the long grass and ferns. I didn't want to go too far away from my time machine. I heard a noise over on my right side. There was a man who looked quite different from me. He was dressed in an animal skin，and he carried a big stick. I didn't want him to see me，so I hid behind a tree. He didn't speak any language that I could understand. He grunted at someone who must have been in the distance. Then，I felt the earth shake beneath my feet. I heard giant thumps on the ground as the floor of the jungle shook. The man in the animal skin began to run. I saw why he was running. A giant dinosaur appeared above the top of the trees. It was bigger than anything I had ever seen. My heart began to pound in my chest. It was coming toward me. I ran toward my time machine and jumped in. I set the dial for the twenty-first century. The machine whirred and buzzed. My time machine landed in the twenty-first century. I got away just in time.
