Olivia Ocelot
By Jade M. Rocha
Olivia is a very curious Ocelot. Olivia’s mother always told her and her sisters to never ever leave the den during the day time. Ocelots only leave the safety of their den at night. One day Olivia decided she was going to leave the den when her mother and sisters fell asleep for the day.
When Olivia stepped out of her den she couldn’t believe her eyes. There were so many things to see because the sun was shining bright in the sky. For the first time Olivia saw clouds and birds flying in the sky. Olivia liked being outside during the day time. “I think I will go explore,” said Olivia. She began walking and looking all around her. As Olivia walked toward a pecan tree near her den she suddenly stopped. Her ears began to twitch. She could hear something and it sounded like it was digging in the sandy soil. As Olivia stepped closer she was able to see a strange grey animal shaped like a ball digging next to the tree. “Excuse me,” said Olivia. “My name is Olivia Ocelot, who are you?” The strange looking animal replied, “My name is Eddie and I’m an armadillo.” Eddie went back to digging for something to eat in the ground so Olivia kept on walking through the woods.
Olivia stopped when she heard another noise, this time it was up in a black oak tree. As Olivia looked up, a small brownish colored animal with a bushy tail came running down the tree trunk. “Hi,” said Olivia to this strange new animal. “Hello my name is Suzy,” said the brownish animal, “I’m a squirrel.” “Who are you and what are you doing?” asked Suzy. “My name is Olivia Ocelot and I am exploring,” replied Olivia. Suzy warned Olivia to stay close to home or she might get lost. Then Suzy disappeared into the high braches of the black oak tree.
Olivia continued her exploring. She stopped when she saw a rippling stream. Olivia decided to get for a drink of water. As she stepped closer to the stream she saw a tall brown animal with big horns coming out of its head. This animal was much taller than Olivia and it looked a little scary to her. Olivia had never seen such a large animal before so she wanted to get a better look at it. She slowly crept closer to the strange animal. It saw Olivia and stopped drinking from the stream. “Who are y..y..you?” stuttered Olivia. “Don’t be afraid, I’m a deer and my name is Danny,” replied the deer. Danny told Olivia that it was not a good idea for her to go exploring all alone because she might get lost. Olivia thanked Danny and told him good bye. She turned around to head back home.
As Olivia turned around to head home she could not remember which way to go. Olivia was lost and scared so she began to cry. Then Olivia heard a soft fluttery voice ask her why she was crying. Olivia looked around to see who was talking to her but she did not see anyone. “Up here,” said the soft fluttery voice. Olivia looked up in the tree to see who was talking to her. “Why are you crying?” the soft voiced blue bird asked again. “I’m lost and I want to go home,” cried Olivia.

“I have been watching you and I know where you live.” “Follow me,” said the blue bird, “I will help you find your way home.” Olivia stopped crying and followed the blue bird through the woods. After a long walk the blue bird stopped on the branch of a pecan tree. Olivia saw Eddie armadillo still busy digging and knew she had found her way home. Olivia thanked the blue bird for her help as she ran into her den. Olivia slowly snuggled in between her sleeping mother and sisters. Olivia had a very exciting day meeting new animals but she was even more excited to be back home with her family. Olivia decided to never leave her home without her mother’s permission ever again.
Love your story, i wonder why it was so hard for me to make one as good. Both you and Crystal made your stories short and to the point, it was too hard for me to do the same! Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Jade!!! I love your story! I really like it because to tell you the truth I never heard of an Ocelot. It's very cute and I'm sure young children will enjoy your story of an animal that maybe they never heard of either.
ReplyDeleteI was like, dang. A kittie. An Ocelot? What's an Ocelot. Great job--your students are going to learn about Ocelots and getting lost.
