Once Upon a Christmas Tree - Chapter 1

Surprises, or Not

Today my family went and got a Christmas tree.
It’s puny and small, but it will go to the roof of our little cottage. I have a very good family though. In my family I have a mother, a father, two sisters, and a brother. And then there is me.
Your probably wondering who exactly I am. I am Paula Jane Smith a 3 year old daughter of Amy and Michael Smith. My two sisters names are Michaela, who’s 10, and Abby, who’s 7. My brother’s name is Roscoe who’s almost 5. Oh, we can’t forget my pet monkey Loona who’s almost 10.
One day while I was reading my book, Loona was in her room swinging on her vine, and then I heard something go “SMASH!” I get up and go to Loona’s room as fast as I can and what I saw before me could have been the worst thing I had ever seen. When I had heard the smash Loona had fallen off of her vine and hit one of her pots of jungle flowers. Michaela had heard the noise also and came running down the hall to see what had happened. Luckily, Loona wasn’t hurt to bad. We think she had broken her left arm though.
Since Loona does everything with her right arm we think she’ll be all right. When we went to the vet’s office at first Loona was a little afraid, and then we saw our friend Alexa with her cat Rusty. When we finally got in to see the vet and we did the shots and x-ray, she had a little bit of trouble ( since its her first time going to the vets).
After we were done with the x-rays and shots, Loona got a sling. The doctor said that she would have to have the sling for almost a month. It was a week or so before Christmas.
That night I had problems sleeping. I dreamt that Loona was going to choke and maybe die because of her sling.
