Miss Pickerell and the Weather Satellite
by:Ellen Macgregor
One day in Square Toe County they predicted the day
would be sunny. Ms. Pickerell thought that the weather
station was wrong because her thumb always hurt
when it was going to rain. So she called the governor
to open the dam because it was going to overflow.
Then the governor and Ms.Pickerell went up into
space to check the satellite. She cleaned it then
there was a big white flash that nearly blinded
her. They went back down to earth and
everyone was cheering to her that she had
saved the day. Later that day there was an
interview about Ms. Pickerell ,the governor, and Ms. Pickerell's
nephew.
