Henry Saves His House

Henry confronted Ms. Crooc and said, “You better not hurt Goat and Pig! And once again this is my house and I want you off of my property!” Henry slowly took multiple steps onto the steaming hot dirt towards the cages which held Goat and Pig. Henry could feel the pressure in the form of the heat from sun.&nbsp; Ms. Crooc turned to the rest of her family and shouted, “Get this man out of here!” as she pointed at Henry.&nbsp;

“What? Your home was taken over by a snake?” said Henry. My house was taken over by mean humans and they also stole my only friends Goat and Pig. How about we make a deal? I will help you save your home and you will help me save my friends and my house?” asked Henry. “Let’s do it!” said Jerry with excitement. “How can we get whoever is in your house out?” asked Jerry.&nbsp; “I have a plan! Follow me Jerry,” said Henry.&nbsp; Henry and Jerry dashed over to Jerry’s house. “Hey, Jerry, I like your house,” commented Henry.

Henry Saves His House by Anthony George

Henry, Goat and Pig ran outside and they see nine movers sitting down on his porch eating food from his refrigerator! “Don’t track mud in our house,” Ms. Crooc yelled. As Ms. Crooc squinted at Henry she said, “You better hurry and start getting back to work! Now that you finished moving out all of that junk, start moving in our belongings.”&nbsp; Henry’s rage was burning hotter than lava at that moment! “How dare you throw away all my stuff, call it junk and treat me like I work here? I own the place, so get off my property!”

One sunny day on a farm in Montana, there was a white fluffy ghost named Henry sitting on the grass of his large field in his backyard. Henry was a very nice ghost with a body so fluffy and white it looked like snow unlike all ghosts he had arms and legs. Henry could smell a vile odor coming from Goat and Pig, his two best friends on the farm. Goat and pig approached Henry and right before they could talk they were interrupted by the noise of a screeching van. Right away they could slightly see a giant white van, a yellow moving van, and a car that came out of nowhere. In the white van, was a family of two parents and two children. Henry could barely see them through the corner of his eye.

“Goat, Pig, we found you. I am so glad,” Henry said with a giant smile on his face. After a long day of work Henry, Goat, Pig, Jerry, Mr. Snake&nbsp; and all of their friends sat down in Henry’s cold, air conditioned house. “What should we do now?” said Jerry. “We could all go in the mud and play,” said Pig. “No!” yelled everyone. “How about we all just sit down and relax?”

“Henry, my house is green. It’s also big for a mouse and it has a twig fireplace, a mud roof. I also have spider web sheets. I am set for anything!” said Jerry. “Wow, Jerry, no wonder that snake took it.” Henry quickly tried to rush into the tiny door. It took little effort for Henry to force his head into the front door of Jerry’s house.&nbsp; “Sssssss,”&nbsp; mumbled the long, brown, scaly snake trying to warm up against Jerry’s warm heated fireplace.&nbsp; “Hello, Mr. Snake. Could you please give Jerry his house back?” Henry asked. “I don't want to!” said Mr. Snake.&nbsp;

“No you can’t do this, that is my house you can’t take it!” shouted Henry with all of his might. Everyone ignored Henry and for a second he thought that he hadn’t even said a word. Did he? Henry questioned to himself. Henry tried to stand up and get back to his house to save Goat and Pig. The second Mr. Crooc noticed that Henry was trying to get up, he picked Henry up again again and dropped him off further away. &nbsp;Now Henry was off the road and on a big bush Henry could feel all of the sharp twigs. At that point he gave up.&nbsp;

Mike and Harry dashed to grab Henry but started to argue, “Stop, Harry, I want to get rid of him!” screamed Mike. “No, I want to,” yelled Harry but they had no time to talk because Mike quickly tackled Harry and they began to wrestle. Mr Crooc slowly walked over to Henry. Henry, intimidated by Mr Crooc’s large body, gets scared when Mr Crooc picked him up off the dirt and started to quickly drag him onto the road.

“I am so happy right now!” exclaimed Henry.&nbsp; “Why are you so happy?” questioned Mr. Snake.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “Well, I have made a lot of new friends, including you, Jerry and everyone here right now!” said Henry with excitement. Everyone cheered.&nbsp;Henry and his friends lived happily ever after. Everyday all of his friends would come down to his house and play games.&nbsp;&nbsp;

At that moment Henry went to wait in front of his house to think of a plan to get Goat and Pig back and also kick the Crooc family out.&nbsp; Meanwhile Jerry and Mr. Snake were in the forest gathering their friends. By the end of the day Jerry and Mr. Snake had gathered all of their friends and all of them were all waiting in front of Henry’s House. “Ok I have a plan to rescue Goat and Pig and then we can figure out how to get my house back. We will split up; the deer will search the backyard; the birds will search the roof and the chimney; the snakes will search the snakes will search the ground floor; The mice will search upstairs in the bedrooms, and the rabbits will search the attic,” said Henry. Everyone silently nodded. Everyone was staring at so at the empty porch that they knew they would be walking on with victory.

Ms. Crooc said nothing in return she just ignored him and yelled, “What are these animals doing, dragging mud in my house! Movers, get over here right now! I want you to get these animals in some cages.”&nbsp; two of the movers quickly rushed over to Goat and pig, slowly dragging them across the blazing hot dirt. Goat and pig struggled to get free but they felt relaxed in the cages because the did not have to feel the wrath of the burning sun. Henry, shocked, stood frozen in horror.

“Who are they?” questioned Goat. “It’s probably nothing. I bet they are just going to ask to buy my house,” argued Henry. Henry felt they gaze of the sun burning his forehead. “Let’s go to sit underneath that tree, I think I am getting a sunburn.”&nbsp;

Henry dashed over to the tree 20 yards away, and Goat and Pig followed. Once they all reached the tree they were so tired they all took a nap. About 30 minutes later they all woke up from their slumber and went in side. The second they all rushed inside, they noticed all of henry’s belongings were gone!

“Hello, can you please move off the bush? You are squishing me,” squeaked a tiny mouse from inside the bush. “I am sorry. I did not see you there,” said Henry. “Say, what’s your name? My name is Henry,” Henry asked nicely. “Well, Henry, my name is Jerry, Jerry the mouse and a big snake took my home.”&nbsp; Jerry said sadly.

“Listen up! Once we all get into the house, half of us will start to look for Goat and Pig. The rest of us will find a way to get the Crooc family out.” said Henry. Once they had entered, they quietly tiptoed throughout the house without a sound. Henry checked high and low looking for Goat and Pig all night. The sun started to shine and Henry almost yelled but he whispered instead, “I think I know where Goat and Pig are!” Henry and everyone else ran as fast as they could up the stairs. But they forgot all about the Crooc Family. Thump thump thump. That's all the Croocs heard.

“Wow, Henry! These beds are so comfortable,” Jerry yelled from across the house. “Wow, Henry! I did not know you had so much food?” said Mr. Snake from inside the kitchen.&nbsp; Henry smirked and suddenly the door slammed open. “That is our food! That is our couch! Those are our beds, so get out of our house!” screamed Ms. Crooc.&nbsp; Everyone ignored her, but before she had realized it, the door had been smacked in her face and locked. At that moment, the Crooc family gave up. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

All of the Croocs rose from out of their beds and opened their doors and they saw all of rats, rabbits, birds and snakes scampering up into the attic.&nbsp; “Everyone run! Get out! Our house is filled with mice and snakes!”&nbsp; screamed Ms. Crooc at the top of her lungs. Mike and Harry were not afraid of the mice and the snakes, but Mr. and Ms. Crooc could not move. Every bone in their bodies were paralyzed. Henry had realized that Goat and Pig were not in the attic, but it was too late. He had noticed the Crooc family was right there. Mike and Harry were trying to catch the mice but Mr. and Ms. Crooc were standing still like they were frozen in time.

The Croocs were still frozen. “What’s with them?” asked Jerry. “We have a chance to look for Goat and pig,” yelled Jerry. The second everyone left the Croocs alone, The Crooc Family rushed out of the house and into their car.&nbsp; “We have to get out of here pronto!” screamed the entire Crooc family. Woosh.&nbsp; Henry and his friends found Goat and pig after 30 minutes of searching. Everyone was exhausted. But Henry was excited to see his two best friends.

“Well, maybe if you asked Jerry nicely, you two could makeup and Jerry could let you live with him.” “I am sorry, Jerry. I hope you can forgive me. It’s just that I don't have a home,” Mr. Snake sadly mumbled. “Maybe since you asked nicely you can live with me, but right now you could help Henry get his house and his friends back,” asked Jerry. “Yes, sir!” shouted Mr. Snake.
