The Groundhog's Story

Posted: February 8, 2010

Once upon a time there was a groundhog named Groundhoggy.  One morning he woke-up very nervous.  The reason he was so nervous is because today was Groundhog Day and Groundhog Day was very important to Groundhoggy.  He hopped out of bed, ran to the bathroom and took a bath.  Next he brushed his teeth.  Last, he got dressed.  His big day was about to begin!  He ran up his hole to look for his shadow.  At the same time, he crossed his fingers hoping that he wouldn't see his shadow.  He did not want 6 more weeks of winter. It was too cold!  But when he managed to get to the top, he didn't see a thing!  "Early Spring!" he yelled.  And that is the story of Groundhoggy.                                                                                   - by Isabella
