“Love Bug” by Oakley Martin
It was a Monday evening, and I had just gotten home from school. Now I was tromping up the stairs to my room. I got upstairs and sat on my window seat. Something cracked under the seat of pants! I practically jumped up and out of my pants. Who would expect something to crack under the seat of their pants when they sat down?! The answer is NOBODY! So, I quickly came back to my senses and slowly turned around. There sat a crushed ladybug without one of his wings. I let out a relieved sigh of old, cooped up breath. Then there rose the other ladybug wing. “Whoa!” I said. Then, it tickled me under the chin. I laughed. I sure hoped this was over. Then the ladybug came back together and lived hap-bug-ly ever after.
