Pictures of Hugs
It was Pet Week at school. Meg had to take a picture of Hugs to share.
She got her crayons and some paper.
“This picture doesn’t look like Hugs,” she said.
Meg got more paper.
But she could not make a good picture of her cat.
“Do you want my camera?” Gram said. “I can show you how to use it.”
“Yes!” said Meg.
Hugs was playing with a toy mouse.
Click!
She took a picture.
But Hugs moved.
“That’s not Hugs!” Meg said. “That’s my shoe.”
Click! Click! Click!
Meg took more pictures. But it was hard to take a good picture of Hugs. He moved every time!
“These pictures are not good,” Meg said. “But maybe I can use them all at once, like a puzzle!” She printed the pictures, and she put them side by side.
But that didn’t work.
“Do you want me to help?” Gram asked.
“I can take a picture of Hugs for you.”
“Where is Hugs?” Meg asked.
Then she saw him.
She held up the camera.
Click!
She took a picture.
“Look, Gram,” Meg said. “It’s not hard to take a picture of Hugs…When he is sleeping!”
