One foggy morning a girl with brown hair and hazel eyes named Catherine bugle was being babysat by a women with brown hair and hazel eyes, her name Hannah Myers she was a sweet lady but she had a very strict side. Catherine's mother was on a trip in Hawaii and she never knew who her father was but she did have a hint of what he looked like, giving him the characteristics her mother didn't have,that she did have.
Catherine and Mrs. Myers were in the living room playing checkers having a great time and unexpectedly the phone rang, "I'll get it",Mrs. Myers said. Going in to the kitchen Catherine saw a confused but sad look on Mrs. Myers face. "What's wrong, "said Catherine, "nothing it's just you will be coming with me to my house with the other girls to stay for awhile, is that ok?" "Ya I want to meet the other girls anyway",said Catherine.
The next morning Catherine packed up her stuff to go to Mrs. Myers house not knowing it was a foster home. Mrs. Myers drove a whole 20 miles to the foster home with Catherine while stopping at Wind Dixie to get some groceries for her and the other kids.
Finally, they were there. Catherine a sleep in the back seat piled with stuffed animals, clothes, and toys. Catherine wake up, we are here Mrs. Myers said opening the door. Struggling to get up because of her tiredness she slipped and fell on the ground and when she had looked up she saw a huge building that looked like a castle.
Stunned Catherine said this is your home. Well, it's not really a house it's like a ......... Interrupting excitedly Catherine said, a castle! Well close enough Catherine, it's actually a foster home, said Mrs. Myers. What's a foster home? Pausing Mrs. Myers said, it's a place where children go when they have no parents. Walking up a garden like path to go in the building Catherine said confused, why am I here when I have a mommy? Well your mom is on a trip and she got a job and will not be coming back for a while, so you will be staying with us, but you still have to be polite and follow the rules, understand? Ya, I guess, still confused Catherine walked into the building amazed. Only 6 years old Catherine felt like she was in a fairy tale but something was missing.
