THE LIB ESSAY WAS A TRICK. HAHAHAHAHA. ________________________________________________

Hello there! Today enjoy another great story! It's called Clarissa. Over time there have been many Clarissa volumes so I hope you enjoy the first one a lot!

___________________________________________

Hey! This story is about Clarissa. You probably don't know this but she is a... have you guessed yet? Oh fine. I'll tell you! Clarissa is a cat! Happy? Now keep reading! Today, Clarissa was playing pranks on the next-door neighbors dog. It was Pets Pranks Day, a holiday most humans were not aware of! Doris the hamster was busy giving Clarissa tips. Although Doris was a pet, he was stuck in a cage. But he was more than happy to give Clarissa ideas and watch from the backseat. "But is is a real pity that someone as brilliant as you is stuck in a cage." Clarissa exclaimed. Doris blushed. Or was it the strawberries in his cheeks? Clarissa could not tell. She went through the cat flap and into the garden. Next door Marigold was she running around in her yard. When she saw Clarissa she smiled with a mischievous glint in her eye. Clarissa simply stared at her as if nothing was special about today. She carefully sat on a pillow to activate her first prank. Creaking loudly, the gate opened and in bounded Finesse the squirrel. Clarissa had bribed him with a pile of acorns to play his part in the trick, but in actuality he was only to happy to fool that silly Golden Retriever. Marigold took the bait and chased him to the bottom of an oak tree. Without a single thought Marigold leaped at Finesse who was climbing up the tree. As she did this she hit the button Clarissa had planted there. All of a sudden a dog bone appeared in the air carefully luring Marigold directly into a pile of cat litter. Marigold barked in surprise "Clarissa!". Then she whined and pouted "Be a good sport and give me that dog bone!". Clarissa grinned she and Marigold were best friends even though Marigold was a golden retriever a breed of dog. "Perhaps I will! Oh fine don't give me puppy eyes!" Clarissa chuckled. And Marigold laughed as Clarissa went inside. She was about to see that Marigold was just as good at pranks as her! When she came back out she was doused in water. "Got you" Marigold cried as Clarissa proceeded to chase her around the lawn.

Now we get back to you with an interesting report on the pros and cons of social media.

___________________________________________

Hello everyone today I am going to tell you about the pros and cons of social media!

Pros

The pros are that you can share things like the videos we put is flip grid for example. Also you connect with your friends and family in circumstances like this.

Cons

But on the other hand experts say that social media is addictive too. People might say something mean or rude about you. And you spend valuable time that you could have spent reading or playing a game. Hope you enjoyed learning about social media!

That was informative and slightly boring. Now who wants the second Clarissa story? I DO!

_____________________________________________________

Clarissa groaned. Doris was sleep squeaking. "More strawberries please" he squeaked constantly. She was trying to nap. She wished the humans would give her one of those fluffy ear devices. They never heard a thing with those on. The humans were sleeping and so was Doris. Was Clarissa the only one awake? She padded outside through the cat flap. Perhaps she could nap there? Marigold yapped like she wanted Clarissa awake. "Come and play" she whined loudly. Clarissa went back inside. She went to a long hallway entering a bright yellow room. She sat in a large slightly wet pool like formation. She groaned in disgust. It was wet! Still she could not have everything. It was quiet there. Clarissa slept dreaming of catnip and yarn. Meanwhile, Belinda Wonder smiled. Melissa and Cara Wonder were finally asleep. As for Melissa's cat Clarissa. Well she was finding a napping spot of her own. Cara's hamster kept squeaking dreadfully though. Now she could finally take a long overdue bath. She stepped into a yellow room and walked towards the bathtub. When she got in the shower and and turned on the water. She did not notice Clarissa sleeping in the tub. The feel of hot water woke Clarissa immediately. She yowled and startled Belinda Wonder. She screamed until she realized it was only Clarissa. Clarissa jumped out of the shower. She shook off water in disgust. How can Marigold like this she wondered. She marched off. After half an hour of shaking off water Clarissa drifted off to sleep.

___________________________________________

That sound super annoying to be asleep and suddenly get wet! Now we present to you the blurb of an exciting story prequel to Starring Luna ---- Clara and Crystal Comet!

_________________________________________________

A young girl named Clara dreams to be an astronaut someday. As a child, she speaks to the Moon. Luna seems fairly nice, except Clara doesn’t think that Luna believes that a ten year old is worthy enough to be chosen to go to space. But alas - 20 years later, here she is, Luna helping her soar across the sky on her (soon to be) best friend, Crystal Comet. ______________________________________________

That seemed exciting! Now an excerpt from The Rapturous Recital of The Tales of Rattleville

_____________________________________

Ruby paced around their new house. They had moved to Rattleville for her new school. Ruby desperately wished that they could have stayed in Sunny Harbor. Her paws ached from the long car ride to Rattleville, which was mostly inhabited by snakes. The real estate agent was an adder who was droning on about how WONDERFUL Rattleville was. Ruby hadn't wanted to move. Her best friend Mason had lived in Sunny Harbor with her, and now she had to adapt to a new school and new people. She didn't like it ONE SINGLE BIT. Also, of ALL of Virali why Rattleville. She didn't like snake viralians. Especially rattlesnake viralians. AND WITH GOOD REASON!

1.) They had venom

2.) They're tails rattled.

3.) They had fangs

4.) They hissed when they spoke

5.) They were snobby (Her mom said this was not true)

6.) They had beady eyes

7.) They ate mice (mice animals, not mice virali) WHOLE (Every hear of chewing?)

8.) They laid eggs

9.) They were reptiles

10.) They had scales

11.) They were cold-blooded!

SHE DESERVED BETTER! She was a cat viralian. She was awesome. For excellent reasons.

1.) Queen Reagan, was a cat Viralian.

2.) Cats chewed their mice

3.) Cats hissed when it was necessary not all the time.

4.) They were clever

5.) They were mammals

6.) They came in variety

7.) They did not lay eggs

8.) They had fur

9.) They landed on their feet

10.) They had sharp eyes

11.) They were not catty and snobby (YES. CATS ARE NOT CATTY. GET IT STRAIGHT IN YOUR BRAIN)

12.) They didn't lay eggs

13.) They were warm-blooded

14.) They had sharp teeth (not overly sized fangs!)

15.) They were silent on their paws (THEY DIDN'T RATTLE)

16.) They didn't rely on venom.

17.) They were not - Did she mention that already?

So, in short- AWESOME. Ruby realized she had used 3 pages of her notebook. Also, her parents had finished talking to Mr. Real Estate Adder. She thought his name was Etatsssse Lear? It was an interesting anagram name. Etatse has all the letters of estate except mixed up! Real also anagrammed lear! Ruby rather liked anagrams. Also lists. ___________________________________________ Cool Story! Wonder why this Daily Tot is soo long?

It was midnight

The stars all bright

City shining in the moonlight

Amber eyes lit up in delight

Reflecting the sparrow's fright

Swooping down in graceful flight

Hawk and sparrow alone at night
