Cats of Kemah Boardwalk Chapter 1


     I woke up in the mood for catfish. Creeping under the bushes, I kept on creeping up until I came to the fence. Beyond it was where the humans farmed their fish, and then killed the only to serve it to people to eat. They had no idea that I got an endless food supply from it.

Since there were no noisers walking around yet, I slid under the fence padding across to the edge of were the wood ends. Carefully sliding under another fence, I put my paws down on a short strip of wood and jumped down onto a lower plank.

It was dark in there, since above me were tons of planks layered across. I knew it was the floor for one of those places that I mentioned. The fish-servers. Bending down, I waited till I found the right one. There are tons of fish swimming down there. No need for waiting for them to swim to you. Suddenly I spotted a plump, fat fish swimming lazily in the murky waters.

Instantly I scooped it up and grabbed it in my jaws as it was flopping in midair. Those fish are airborne!
I quickly padded over to where I was staying for now and sat down, grooming myself. When I bit into the soft flesh warm flavors flooded my mouth. There is nothing more tasty than fish.

 As soon as I finished my meal, I heard a female voice above me. Safely hidden from view under the bushes, I pricked my ears toward the sound. As soon as I heard the human walk away, I rushed out to my hiding place for when all the noisers come.

Why did I go? Because I knew that the noisers (people that make the place noisy) were coming . The human worker said so. Yes, I can understand humans.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter 
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
 by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they 
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may 
 be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my 
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
