Sandy was asleep, tucked safely inside unable to roam. I slept the whole night through but woke with a start. Sandy's lid was pushed off and panic seized my heart! Looking through every nook and cranny of my little room. No hamster to be found, I was worried was Sandy doomed? Then I noticed I was missing my right soft plastic shoe. I had left it beside my bed as a pair shiny and new. Were other things missing I wondered, asking myself? Pencils and a sail from a large boat on the desk shelf. Something drew me to the window, slowly I pulled up the shade. Sandy, in the center of the pool, proud of the boat he had made. The missing sail stuck firmly in the shoe I once wore. Pencils I had written with now served as tiny oars. Sandy waved and tipped the captain's hat upon his head. He steered the shoe boat to help the sail and wind wed. A swimming pool was his deep blue ocean, a tiny sailor brave. Touching the snooze button, my ears from the alarm were saved. What a crazy dream I thought as I dressed and put on each shoe. The right one was feeling very wet and from it my foot I withdrew. Picking it up, the small hole in the top flap made me blink. In the hamster's house stood Sandy, giving me a quick wink!
