"THE RED PLANT"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. Have I got a treat and a surprise for one of you, either Kathy, Angie or Kendra. Last night I found a box with a lot of "kid" things in it. By that I mean drawings and writings from you grade school days. It could be Kathy's or one of the girls, there was no name on it, but whoever it was created by, may remember it. I can't do justice to it by printing it because it has all kinds of drawings to explain it. I'll try to fill you in as we go. It's titled, "The Red Plant"-----WELL, ONCE THERE WAS A BOY AND HIS NAME WAS TIMMY. HE WAS WALKING TO SCHOOL ONE COLD AND WINTERY (I'm going to spell several words just as they are spelled in the original) MORNING WHENE ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE BUMPED INTO A GREAT HUMUNGUS RED PLANT. SO THAT DAY HE REMEMBERED THAT HIS CLASS WAS HAVING AN EXSPERAMENT (?) AND HE FORGOT HIS. SO HE USED THE RED PLANT. FINALLY HE GOT TO SCHOOL AND HIS CLASS WAS DOING THERE EXSPERAMENTS AND IT WAS HIS TURN. SO HE WENT UP THERE AND EVRYBODY WAS LOOKING AT HIM, AND "HE SAID THIS PLANT DOOSN'T DO ANYTHING BUT! I THOUGHT IT WAS PRITTY SO I BROUGHT IT ANY WAY. (at the bottom of the page is a plant drawn) FINALLY IT WAS TIME TO GO HOME. TIMMY COULDN'T WATE TO TELL HIS MOM. FIRST HIS MOM THOUGHT HE CUT IT OUT OF A MAGAZENE BUT THENE SHE FELT IT AND SHE WAS SHOCKED. THE NEXT DAY THEY DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE MUSIUM. (at the bottom of the page is a drawing of a woman and a little boy, labeled MOM and TIMMY and a building with the word MUSIUM across the top) BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A CONTEST AT THE MUSUIM ABOUT WHO COULD BRING THE MOST ODD THINGS. AND WHOEVER WON WOULD GET 50$. SO THEY HAD THE CONTEST AND TIMMY WON 1st PLACE. (at the bottom of this page is a drawing of a little boy carrying his plant and beside him is a ribbon and on the ribbon it says 50$ 1st.) SO TIMMY AND HIS MOM WENT HOME AND THERE WAS THE PAPEPER ON THE FRONT STEP. OH MY GOSH TIMMY OH TIMMY YOUR IN THE PAPER! (at the bottom of this page is the drawing of a newspaper with a little boy's picture labeled TIMMY and the drawing of a plant) I'AM IN PAPER, WHAT DO YOU MEAN. WHAT I MEAN IS YOUR IN THE PAPER, AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER, THE END:----- Now whoever wrote this, own up and confess. I'm very curious to know and I hope someone remembers. Thought you might get a laugh out of it. This is Two Texas PawPaw signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don"t rise, I'll be back tomorrow.
