There once was a lizard named Billy.

Poor Billy was smaller then all the other little lizards. The other lizards used to tease him.

Well lets get on with the story. One day Billy and his Mum Madge were out walking when Joey came along.

“Want to hear a joke? “asked Joey politely. “Sure!” said Madge wondering wether or not it was a good thing. “Knock! knock!” “who's there?” “Ummmm?” Said Joey. “Well…?” said Madge and Billy at the same time. “I can’t remember the rest!” “sorry” said Joey apologetically. “Its okay maybe next time” said Madge. “Seeya later!” said Joey.

Later on that day Billy went down to the creek for a swim SPLASH!! Went Billy and SPLASH!!! Went Lilly (his sister).

“Why am I smaller than all the other little lizards??” asked Billy concerned “You haven’t had your growth spurt yet, its fine it happened to me as well” said Lilly. “Thanks!” said Billy.

Suddenly he felt him self growing and growing until his head was as big a his tail.

When Billy got home his mum was shocked but now Billy was bigger then his mum. But hey I suppose that’s the way the cookie crumbles and that’s the day Billy grew
