The Fruit Bat Team Has Breakfast
and an Adventure
by Avery Murria, Greyson Leverett, Kynsley Lyons, and An Anonymous Student
It was 7:30 p.m. I’d just woken up. I am nocturnal and I am a fruit bat. My name is Avery Jr. I have a big family and lots of friends, including Jimmy 1 and Jimmy 2. We live inside of a conservatory in the middle of the jungle. There are flowers on the ground and flowers that grow upside down, just like us. There is a fire to keep us warm and golden locks around the fire so it doesn’t spread. I have the best eyesight out of any bat, and I am also the largest bat. I am as big as a school bus! Sometimes, I am called a mega bat.
We play games and whoever wins picks a fruit for lunch. I won and picked a blueberry. Sometimes the winner picks a strawberry. Sometimes the winner picks the fruit from the Australian punk tree. The fruit has leaves. It tastes like candy and is really big!
The Australian punk tree is in the middle of the conservatory.
We eat the nectar from this tree’s flower for dinner. The tree is soft. And it loves to drink water, and it is very tall. We pollinate this tree. Inside the conservatory, we can hear the rain sounds and children playing hide-and-go-seek freeze tag!
The last bat to be tagged wins. Sometimes we also play normal tag. After tag, I made soup for all of my friends and the conservatory workers. I made my secret soup recipe full of honey, bananas, strawberries, watermelon, and blueberries. It was a rainbow soup. The soup was tasty and everyone loved it.
After dinner, we played more tag until it was time for a snack.
My bat friend Staci brought carrots. Jimmy 1 and Jimmy 2 brought takis and hot fries, and Batman brought worms. I brought broccoli and we enjoyed snack time.
Snack time turned into party time and we danced all night to Kendrick Lamar, Rod Wave, Beyoncé, and Michael Jackson. We played tag a little longer before going home to the conservatory for bed. Batman slept on the wall. Staci fell asleep in a bed of flowers. Jimmy 1 and Jimmy 2 fell asleep on the ceiling, and I slept in my bed on the ceiling.
