Once upon a time, a cheerful ladybug was in the park hopping from
oneflower to another and enjoying the nice sunny day. The ladybug was
a very curious, and liked to check out anything new.
The ladybug flew across the road to look at the rowof homes across
from the park. Each home had a little yard with plenty of flowers. Her
favorite flowers were the red roses and so she went to the yard that
had the most."Mmmmmm" she went as she started munching."Such beautiful
and delicious roses" she thought.
While she was enjoying herself and hopping from on red rose to
another, shenoticed the front door opening and a man leavingthe house.
He left the door cracked open as he gathered his things, so the
ladybug flew in. On her way in she almost bumpedinto a woman who was
heading out. The woman walked out the door and slammed it shut. Oops,
the ladybug was stuck inside!
The ladybug didn't care at first. She wanted to look around and
explore. She flew into the bedroom, it was tidy and nice. She thenflew
to the bathroom and found it very boring so she left right away. Then
she flew into the kitchen where she nibbled on some crumbs she found
onthe table. She also licked a spot of maple syrup she found on the
table.
Now that the ladybug had seen everything she was ready to leave. But
how could she when all the doors and windows were closed. So the
ladybug decided to wait until the people came home so that she could
fly out the crack again as they came in.
She waited, and waited until she got tired of waiting and got hungry
too. She decided to fly backto the kitchen to take another lick of the
maple syrup on the table. "Yum" she thought as she slurped up some
maple syrup,"Mmmm". But just then theman and woman came home and shut
the door behind them. The ladybug had missed her chance.
She would have to try again the next day, she though as she hid under
the lampshade in the livingroom, right next to the door. The man and
womanwent to bed and the ladybug fell asleep under the lampshade. She
was so tired and it had been a long day. She was sleeping very deeply,
having lovely ladybug dreams, when she heard the door opening and
closing. "What happened?" she thought, " How could I have missed them
again?" It seems she was so tired that she didn'teven hear them wake
up, get dressed, and head out to work.
"Why do they have to leave for work so early?" thought the ladybug.
"NowI'll probably never make it out" then she flew off to the kitchen
to eat some more of the left over crumbs that she found. Shefound some
muffin crumbsthat tasted very good and was lucky enough to find asmall
drop of orange juice that she licked up happily."That was a really
great breakfast" she said to herself, "but now I need to concentrate
on finding out how to get out of this place and get back home. My
family must be worried about me by now."
She looked around everywhere. She was hoping there was a crackedwindow
or a hole in the wall, but she couldn't find any. She tried to squeeze
under the door, but there just wasn't enough room. She just had to
wait….again!
This time she would not goto the kitchen, she would not rest or sleep
either. Shewould just wait…and she did, for a long, long time. But the
man and his wife did not go back home rightaway after work. Instead
they decided to go out for dinner, and they stayed out late. The
ladybug waited till it was very dark and she was so tired. She gave up
on them coming back and fell asleep.
At about midnight the couple came back home. The ladybug woke up on
the door slamming shut and saw the man and the woman walking in. Then
she waited until they wentto bed and fell asleep.
The ladybug decided not towait until the morning to do something. She
did not want to fall asleep again and miss them leaving in the
morning. She had thought of hiding in the woman's purse, but the purse
was closed shut and she was unable to get in.
Then she thought of the man's wallet, but she feared that when he put
his wallet in his pants he might sit on her and squishher./:-> :->
