More Eli Stories

I found this one in his folder a couple days ago:

After the picnic, Meg's dad had another surprise.  "We are having s'mores!"  Meg was so excited!  Meg's dad got out the supplies.  It was too late before Dad and Meg could roast s'mores because the fire had burned out.  So Dad and Meg had to start the fire.  This was the first time she had started a fire and cooked s'mores.  Her dad then said, "We have to have a campout here."  Yay Meg.

This one came home last night:

The Croc Transporter
Once upon a time there was a crocodile who loved hippos.  One day she took a very long nap.  Then she did it day after day.  She saw a hippo one day.  She could not chase it because she was laying eggs.  She protected her eggs very well.  Then she took more naps and she dreamed about her babies.  She wanted them to be really good hunters.  One day when she was done, she saw a hippo.  She followed it, then she realized she was lost.  She worried about her eggs.  She saw the hippo again.  She followed it.  It led her back!

P.S. I did do a little editing on the spelling and punctuation.  I'm keeping the originals.
