Week 9 Story: The Two Pups

Once upon a time there were two puppies living in California. One puppy was in a home off of the beach of Malibu, while the other was located in downtown Los Angeles. These two house pets had never met before, but at the exact same time they both thought they might want to run away from home to see the rest of California. The puppy that lives in Malibu wanted to visit Los Angeles and the puppy that lived in Los Angeles wanted to visit Malibu.

They both set out on their journey after loosing their leashes during a walk with their owner. The two puppies knew nothing about traveling and had to use their sense of smell to lead them. Being a large state, California has many areas of cost and many areas of city that smell the same. The puppies both ran into the hill of which the Hollywood sign sat and knew it would be a long journey to the top. They knew once they got to the top they would be able to see the city they were going looking for. 

Once at the top they both ran into each other, they were both shocked to see another puppy without an owner. They were so happy to hear they were both traveling to each other's homes. "Too bad we are so small and young, this journey is making me tired." said the puppy from Los Angeles. "Why don't we just look at the place we are trying to go from on top of the sign? I will help you up if you help me" said the puppy from Malibu. Both of the puppies climbed to the top of the Hollywood sign.

"That is Malibu over there," pointing to the coast. "It looks beautiful but I think I can see all I need to from here, the journey is too long" said the puppy from Los Angeles. "That is downtown L.A. over there with all the traffic and tall buildings." The puppy from Malibu looked in that direction and said "wow, it looks crowded, I think I will go back to Malibu. Thanks for showing me." The two puppies climbed down from the sign and made their journey back to their owners.

Authors Note: My story was based off of the story of The Two Frogs. In this story two frogs from far away places both decide to travel to the other frogs home. The run into each other on the top of a mountain, tired and needing directions. The decided to climb on each others shoulders to look at the place they are trying to go to. Since their eyes are in the back of their heads they both end up looking at their actual home and think there is no need to visit because it looks just like their home. Since puppies eyes are not like that, I decided to make my story a little different.

  1. Hi there Kaylee!
    I also read the story of the two frogs, and yes yours is very similar. I liked how you switched it to puppies in California, because who doesn't love puppies and he beach. I wonder what if both puppies went back to Malibu? What kind of adventures would they have gotten into? Would one human owner call the other in the end to help return the puppy traveling?

  2. Hello Kaylee!
    I have not read the story of the two frogs but I did find this story to be fun and interesting. I also really liked that you made the story about puppies instead and made it take place in California. I might be a little biased (I am from there) but I think California is the greatest! Great story!
