Chapter 7

“Thanks for letting me stay here during recess, Mr. G.,” Katie told her teacher a few minutes later.

“No problem,” Mr. G. told her. “I think it’s great that you want to draw Slinky.”

“And I wasn’t doodling in class like I used to,” Katie reminded him. She wanted to make sure that Mr. G. knew that she usually tried to do what her teacher told her to. “I waited until recess to draw.”

Mr. G. grinned. “I noticed,” he told her. “Good job.”

Katie sat down on the floor near Slinky’s cage. She pulled a pencil from her backpack and began to sketch the snake.

It wasn’t easy. Slinky’s face was partially hidden by a big wooden tree branch in his cage. Katie wished he would wiggle somewhere else, so she could get a better view. But the snake was just lying there. And it didn’t look like he was going anywhere anytime soon.

“I’ve got to make some copies of a story in the office,” Mr. G. told Katie. “You can stay here and work.”

“Okay,” Katie told him.

“If you finish before I get back, just pack away your notebook and markers and go out to the playground,” Mr. G. continued.

Katie nodded and went back to drawing. But after a few minutes, she stopped. Her drawing wasn’t all that great. The problem was, she couldn’t really see Slinky’s face because it was blocked by the branch.

Katie tapped on the side of the glass cage, hoping Slinky would wake up and move. But it didn’t work. The snake just lay there.
