ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL
As I drove to school this morning, I saw a strange performance. Naturally,I watched the road in front of me, but suddenly a big roadrunner dashed across the road, followed by a coyote. I slammed on the brakes and pulled off to the side of the road. Then, I saw a little rabbit. It hid behind an ocotillo. When the rabbit quickly jumped and ran, the coyote turned away from the roadrunner and began to chase the rabbit. The roadrunner went into the cactus. The coyote chased the poor little rabbit; the rabbit ran as fast as his legs could go and his tail bobbed up and down. Then I saw a hawk. It circled overhead. The bird swooped down, grabbed the rabbit, and flew away. The rabbit dangled out of his mouth. The coyote lay down on the rocks, She thought about how she lost her breakfast because they knew their mother always brought it to them.
