Jim's Carrots

Just something random I had to write for school
~Kindle Joy Miller

Once there was a little bunny named Jim. He woke up to discover that he was completely out of carrots. Jim loved carrots so much he didn’t know what he’d do without them. Jim hurried to the grocery store to buy some more delicious carrots. When he got to the grocery store he grabbed a cart and hopped quickly to the carrot stand. There, he filled his cart with all the carrots from the stand. Jim was in such a hurry to get home and eat his scrumptious carrots that he hopped as fast as he could to the cash register. But when he got there the line was super long and he didn’t want to wait an hour to eat his carrots so he decided to cut in line. They don’t need their groceries as much as I need mine, he thought. So Jim took a huge hop and hopped over all the other animals in line. He looked up and the cashier was a large badger who didn’t look very happy. “What are you doing?” demanded the badger.”I am in such a hurry,” said Jim, “I must get home so I can eat these carrots!”

“You cannot cut in line in my store,” said the badger, “This blue jay you cut is really in a hurry. She must get back to her babies with her worms so they don’t starve. Now go back to the end of the line and wait. These animals have been waiting a long time and some of them are really in a hurry.”

Jim was shocked he didn’t realize this was the owner of the store and he didn’t know the bird behind him had babies to feed. He felt really bad about cutting in line. Jim promised to never cut in line again and hopped back to the end of the line. When he got home the carrots were even more delicious because he waited longer to have them.
