Some kids won’t let him in there spaceship and other kids don’t want to sit with him at snack time. The next day he felt sick and didn’t want to go to school. So he stayed home. He had a dream of him going on a space adventure with his cat. Morris paints a great picture oh what happened in his dream. The other kids didn’t let him come in there spaceship so he built his own and put the picture of the tangerine dress. They asked if there are elephants and tigers in space.
