Happy Birthday, Earth! Love, Cow


I am so excited--today is earth day. I wanted to get it a present. I thought, What can I get the earth? It already has everything. It has trees, and rivers, and popcorn, and ice cream. So I decided to make it something it had never seen before: a pickle juice cake!

I bought some banana cake mix. I squashed some pickles, picked out the seeds, and poured the juice in with the eggs. I mixed it around with a stick until it was nice and green. Next, I put it in a cake pan. Then I thought, the sun can help cook it--then it's a present from the sun and me. So I set it out on the driveway. And waited. And waited. Nothing happened.

A squirrel came by, sniffed my cake, and ran away. Then some flies and a bee buzzed by. Everyone was excited about my cake!

Hours later, I got hungry and went inside to eat. I watched some tv, took a nap, read a book. Then I remembered my cake! I ran to the window to find it was pouring out. I put on my galoshes and raincoat and ran outside to find a pleasant surprise: the earth had eaten my pickle juice cake! The pan was completely cleaned out! I was so happy to know the earth liked my cake. I knew I had better come up with something spectacular for next year. Hmmm, maybe I will make a pickle and peanut butter pizza... Happy Earth Day!
