Whitneys Bike Ride Adventure

The morning after her suprise birthday party Whitney awoke very excited to ride her brand new bicycle. It had a basket on the handlebars for Penguin to ride along with her.
After breakfast Whitney placed Penguin in the basket and rode down the long path that went around the ranch she lived on with her family. She was told by her mommy never to ride on the roads.
Whitney peddled the bike faster and faster down the path laughing as Penguin would peek up out of the basket from time to time.After riding for a long time Whitney was getting very tired and decided to park the bicycle under a big tree and rest for a bit. With Penguin sitting on her lap she leaned back against the big tree and fell asleep.
When she awoke the sky was getting darker and she could see storm clouds rolling in. "Oh dear Penguin, there is a bad storm coming and we are so far from home" said the little girl to her kitty.
She put the little kitten in the basket and started riding her bicycle towards home. The rain started falling and then there was some small pieces of hail "Oh No! This is going to be bad Penguin" Whitney knew if it hailed this time of year they were in for a bad storm and she had to find shelter very soon. Faster she rode her bicycle and saw off to the side of her a very large old oak tree with a big hole in the side. She rode towards the old tree and told Penguin "I hope we can fit in there baby".
When she got to the tree she saw she had enough room for the kitty and her but not for the bike. She laid the bike on the ground next to a big rock hoping her new bicycle would be safe from harm. Slowly She climbed into the tree with Penguin.
Looking out thru the hole she saw a twister forming in the field right in front of them. She held Penguin tight and slide them both futher back inside the tree when all of the sudden they started sliding backwards very fast and it was very dark inside the tree. Deeper and deeper they slid down a long tube of some sort. When they landed into a big pile of hay.
They were in a big room that was lit up by tourches all along the wall. A big table was in the center of the room with five chairs around it. On the wall was a picture of the strangest thing. A family of the biggest chipmunks she had ever seen, except these were not normal chipmunks, this family was blue with yellow stripes down their backs.
Whitney heard a noise behind her and turned slowly. There stood a chipmunk as big as her.
"Who are you and why have you invaded my home?" said the chipmunk. "I am terribly sorry sir, We fell thru the hole in the tree" said the little girl shyly. "Oh you poor dears" said a voice behind the large chipmunk. A smaller chipmunk appeared wearing an apron. "Hello young one" said the lady. "Please have a sat and join us for a bit" "I am I am Monica and this is Chuck". "Thank you so much, I am Whitney and this is my kitty Penguin" said the little girl. "I have never met chipmunks that speak or as big as you both are"
So Whitney and Penguin sat at the big table and told the chipmunks of their adventures and how much fun they have together while eating nuts with the chipmunks.
Soon it was getting very late and Whitney knew her parents would be very worried with the twister and all. "I must be going" she said sadly to her new friends. Chuck showed her the staircase that went back out and told them to come by anytime.
whitney carried Penguin up the stairs and they came out a different tree. She saw her bike laying on the ground right where she left it. A few scratches but that was all.
She placed the kitty in her basket and rode towards home. When she got home her parents we just coming out of the storm cellar crying. "Mommy, Daddy I am alright" "Found shelter just like you taught me" Her parents we so happy that she was alright. They could not stop hugging the little girl. Back inside the house Whitney told her parents of her latest adventure and everyone just laughed and were so happy to be together again.1
