I don’t even have a seat belt.\u003cbr\u003e I’m the classroom hamster in Room 26 of Longfellow School. I get to ride in cars a lot because I go home with a different student each weekend.\u003cbr\u003e “This is my lucky day,” A.J. told me. “Because Mrs. Brisbane picked \u003ci\u003eme\u003c\/i\u003e to bring you home for the weekend, I get to take you to the Pet Show.”\u003cbr\u003e A.J. and I had both been excited when Mrs. Brisbane told us about the Pet Show.\u003cbr\u003e “This is your lucky day, too,” A.J. told me. “You’re going to win a prize!”\u003cbr\u003e I crossed my paws and hoped he was right.\u003cbr\u003e “Remember, A.J., Humphrey might not win,” his mom said.\u003cbr\u003e “There are lots of prizes,” A.J. explained. “He’s sure to win one of them. And I get to keep it!”\u003cbr\u003e “Don’t you have to share it with the class?” his grandmother asked.\u003cbr\u003e “Humphrey’s \u003ci\u003emy\u003c\/i\u003e pet,” A.J. said. “At least for the weekend.”\u003cbr\u003e He pulled out a paper. “Here are the prizes,” he said. He read the list out loud.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Friendliest\u003cbr\u003e Best Trick\u003cbr\u003e Most Unusual\u003cbr\u003e Longest Tail\u003cbr\u003e Biggest Ears\u003cbr\u003e Loudest Voice\u003cbr\u003e Best in Show\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Just then, my tummy jiggled and joggled.\u003cbr\u003e Was that because of the bumpy road? Or was it because I was worried that I might not win a prize?\u003cbr\u003e I didn’t want to let down my friends in Room 26. After all, they were counting on me to win.\u003cbr\u003e DeeLee, A.J.’s younger sister, giggled. “I think Humphrey should win for Best in Show!”\u003cbr\u003e A.J.’s grandma turned around and looked in my cage. “He’s one fine-looking hamster,” she said.\u003cbr\u003e “Thanks a lot!” I said. But I’m sure, like most humans, all she heard was “SQUEAK-SQUEAK-SQUEAK.”\u003cbr\u003e I liked Grandma Grace.\u003cbr\u003e I liked Grandma Grace’s purple hat, too.\u003cbr\u003e Then the car stopped.\u003cbr\u003e “Eeek!” I slid across the floor of my cage.\u003cbr\u003e “We’re here,” A.J.’s mom said.\u003cbr\u003e “Yay!” A.J. shouted.\u003cbr\u003e “Yay!” his younger brother Ty shouted.\u003cbr\u003e “Yay!” DeeLee shouted.\u003cbr\u003e “Goo! Goo!” his baby brother shouted.\u003cbr\u003e “Eeek!” I squeaked quietly.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The Pet Show was held in a building in the middle of a park.\u003cbr\u003e Outside, it was nice and quiet.\u003cbr\u003e Inside, it was NOISY-NOISY-NOISY. And what noises there were!\u003cbr\u003e Barking, meowing, chirping, snarling!\u003cbr\u003e Yipping, yapping, squealing, shouting!\u003cbr\u003e Someone called out, “Quiet, please!” But it still wasn’t quiet.\u003cbr\u003e “Here you go, Humphrey Dumpty,” A.J. said as he set my cage on a table.\u003cbr\u003e I like it when A.J. calls me Humphrey Dumpty. I call him Lower-Your-Voice-A.J. because his voice is so loud. I have special names for all my friends in Room 26.\u003cbr\u003e While A.J.’s family went to see the other pets, I looked around the room.\u003cbr\u003e There was a lot to see, like dogs on leashes and cats in cages.\u003cbr\u003e There was a lot to hear, like a screeching sound that made my whiskers wiggle and my tail twitch.\u003cbr\u003e “BAWK!” a voice said. “Crackers is pretty!”\u003cbr\u003e I wondered what kind of creature was such a screecher.\u003cbr\u003e Next, a soft voice said, “Hi, A.J.”\u003cbr\u003e I looked up and saw Sayeh from Room 26. I call her Speak-Up-Sayeh because she is VERY-VERY-VERY quiet.\u003cbr\u003e “Hi!” A.J.’s voice boomed.\u003cbr\u003e Sayeh and her dad put a glass tank down next to me on the table.\u003cbr\u003e “Og!” I squeaked. I was \u003ci\u003eso\u003c\/i\u003e happy to see my friend Og.\u003cbr\u003e “I’m glad Mrs. Brisbane said I could bring him,” Sayeh said. “I hope he wins a prize, too.”\u003cbr\u003e “BOING!” Og said.\u003cbr\u003e He makes a very funny sound. He can’t help it. He’s a frog.\u003cbr\u003e He’s also my neighbor back in Room 26. His tank, which is half water and half land, sits right next to my cage.\u003cbr\u003e Then A.J.’s best friend, Garth, showed up.\u003cbr\u003e “Hi, Humphrey,” Garth said. “I’m sure glad I could come see you win a prize for our class! And Og, too.”\u003cbr\u003e A.J. said, “Remember, \u003ci\u003eI’m\u003c\/i\u003e the one who brought Humphrey.”\u003cbr\u003e Garth looked confused, but then another friend arrived.\u003cbr\u003e Don’t-Complain-Mandy Payne brought her pet hamster, Winky. Mandy’s in Room 26, too. She doesn’t complain as much since she got Winky.\u003cbr\u003e “I think Winky will win Friendliest,” she said.\u003cbr\u003e “I just hope one of us wins a prize,” Winky squeaked to me from his cage.\u003cbr\u003e “Me too,” I said.\u003cbr\u003e Winky is one of my friendliest friends, so I meant it. But I still didn’t want to let A.J. down.\u003cbr\u003e Richie showed up with a box with holes in the sides. Mrs. Brisbane always asks him to repeat his answers in class, so I call him Repeat-It-Please-Richie.\u003cbr\u003e “Hi, everybody!” he said. “Want to see my new pet?”\u003cbr\u003e “I do!” I squeaked.\u003cbr\u003e A.J., Garth and Sayeh gathered around as Richie took the lid off the box.\u003cbr\u003e “Meet Nick,” Richie said.\u003cbr\u003e Garth’s eyes opened wide. “Wow!” he said.\u003cbr\u003e “That’s cool!” A.J. said.\u003cbr\u003e “Amazing,” Sayeh whispered.\u003cbr\u003e What made Nick so amazing? All I could see was a box.\u003cbr\u003e Richie put the box down next to me. My cage was between the box and Og’s tank.\u003cbr\u003e I leaned as far as I could to look through one of the hole. All I could see were some leaves and twigs.\u003cbr\u003e Was Nick invisible? Or had he escaped?\u003cbr\u003e “There’s nothing in there,” I squeaked down to Og.\u003cbr\u003e “BOING-BOING!” Og sounded disappointed, too.\u003cbr\u003e I was pretty sure that leaves and twigs couldn’t win a prize at the Pet Show.\u003cbr\u003e But I still wasn’t sure I could win one, either.","brand":"G.P.
