*The+hunt+for+Winston

It was a steaming summer's day in Florida. Monuiqe, a 29 year old mother of three children, Hope, Bethany, and Elizabeth. Every day Monuiqe would lay in the sun in the Waterfall Garden. So a little bit of heat wouldn't stop her. This day was different though.

At eleven o'clock she did not get up to play with the kids which is not normal at all. Bethany asked Monuiqe to play with them. Bethany was prepared to hear an "okay sweetie"but instead Monuiqe screamed "NO!!!" and Bethany started crying. What she said next shocked Bethany. Monuiqe screamed, "SHUT UP YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT!!" and now all the girls were wailing.

Still Monuiqe did not pay them any attention. Hope and Elizabeth finally stopped crying and decided to go to the waterfall and play with Winston, their golden retriever. What the kids didn't know was that Winston was of being in water. All the way to the waterfall Bethany bawled while Hope and Elizabeth tried to calm her down, but to no avail.

The first thing the kids did when they got there was throw Winston in the water. After he made a splash he barked some pretty foul words and snarled at the girls. Then Hope got Bethany to calm down. Remember I said that Winston was afraid of the water.

Well, he jumped out when the girls jumped in and started running. The girls realized their mistake and started to chase. Winston was too fast,for he vanished within five minutes. They called his name over and over again, but sadly he did not show him self.

Hope decided to tell Monuiqe that Winston is lost. She sprinted back to the garden where Monuiqe was laying on the grass and said, " Winston ran away!" "WHAT!!!!" Screamed Monuiqe "YOU LET HIM RUN AWAY!" "No it was Elizabeth." pleaded Hope. Monuiqe ran to Elizabeth and hit her on the head. They started looking for Winston calling his name.

Elizabeth apologized to Monuiqe and at first she did not forgive Elizabeth, but on second thought she did forgive her. They searched everywhere, but still no Winston. They spent the night away from home. The next morning Monuiqe actually apologized for her behavior yesterday.

Monuiqe decided to make it up to the kids by playing a game of hide and seek with them. As Monuiqe started counting Elizabeth ran into a bush, Bethany climbed up a tree, and Hope was walking and saw a glint of golden fur and realized Winston in the river next to where Monuiqe was. Hope shouted to monuiqe that they had found Winston and before she knew it everybody was next to her hugging Winston. Monuiqe thanked her and Hope thanked her for playing with them because they would have never found him if it wasn't for her playing with them. They built a house next to the river, grew up and lived happily ever after for now.
