148.【Little Critter】When I Grow Up (by Lynn)

When I grow up, I'll be a great dancer. I'll dance in the ballet. But first I'll lead a long parade through town. Then I will join the circus. I'll walk the tightrope and everyone will cheer. Or I might just be the funniest clown in the world. I will also teach lions and tigers to dance and play music. When I get tired of being a circus star, I'll be a mountain climber. Then I will be a truck driver. I will drive hundreds of miles every day. I will have a pet store, too. All of the pets will be my friends, and I will never sell any of them. Just for fun, I will be a world-famous doctor and make everyone feel better. I'll be a fire chief and will rescue anyone who needs rescuing. I will be a police officer and help everybody cross the street. In my spare time, I will be a race-car driver. I will win every race. If I get bored with that, I will be a mail carrier and deliver letters everywhere. On the weekends, I will fly an airplane. I will do dangerous tricks in the air. If I fall, I will just open my parachute and float gently to the ground. I will also be a very famous baker. I will make cakes and cookies. No one will ever have to eat liver or beans again. Say, that reminds me, I'm getting hungry. "What's for dinner?" I asked. "Liver and beans," Mom answered. I can't wait until I grow up!
