It was a normal Friday afternoon at the Foxes' 

house in Louisville, Colorado. 

Mommy and Daddy were both home from work and 

Beth had left for the day.   Maya was playing with 

worms.   Eli was stapling paper.   Sadie was climbing 

on the counter.   Jonah was taking a nap.  

Everyone was very excited because that night 

they were going to see a movie at Louisville 

Elementary School.

That evening, Maya, Eli, Sadie, and Jonah left the 

house and began the walk to LES for movie night.

As they turned from the cul-de-sac onto Lilac 

Circle, they saw something very strange. 

"Look, a penguin!" Eli exclaimed.

Sure enough, a penguin was waddling down the road 

toward them.

The Foxes were a bit worried.   They walked up to 

the penguin.

"Are you lost?" asked Maya. "Don't you belong in 

Antarctica?"

The penguin shrugged his wings. "My family just 

moved here to Louisville.   I don't have any friends 

here."

Maya answered, "You will come with us to movie 

night!"

So Maya, Eli, Sadie, Jonah, and a penguin all 

headed towards Louisville Elementary School.

As they waited to cross Bella Vista Drive, they saw 

something very strange.

"Look! A monkey!" Sadie exclaimed.

Sure enough, a silly monkey was perched on the 

fence across the street.

The Foxes were a bit worried.   They walked up to 

the monkey.

"Are you lost?" asked Eli.   "Don't you belong in the 

jungle?"

The monkey scratched his head.   "My family just 

moved to Louisville.   I don't have anyone to play 

with."

Eli answered, "You will come with us to movie 

night!"

So Maya, Eli, Sadie, Jonah, a penguin, and a monkey all 

headed towards Louisville Elementary School.

As they continued along Hoover Avenue they saw 

something very strange.

"Pig!" Jonah exclaimed.

The others looked at each other in surprise.   It was 

Jonah's first word!

Sure enough, a pink pig was walking down the street 

towards them.

The Foxes were a bit worried.   They walked up to 

the pig.

"Are you lost?" asked Sadie.   "Don't you belong on 

a farm?"

The pig scrunched her snout.   "My family just 

moved to Louisville.   I don't know anyone here 

yet."

Sadie answered, "You will come with us to movie 

night!"

So Maya, Eli, Sadie, Jonah, a penguin, a monkey, 

and a pig all headed towards Louisville Elementary 

School.

As they turned onto the bike path they saw 

something very strange.

"Look, a giraffe!" exclaimed Maya.

Sure enough, in front of them a tall giraffe stood 

grazing on the leaves of the trees.
