Charlie's Secret Treasure

“Charlie's Secret Treasure”

By Jennifer Moerschel

 Charlie Nix has three sticks

that he keeps with him everyday.

His three sticks attract baby chicks

when he holds them in a certain way.

He loves baby chicks,

so he keeps his three sticks

on a string around his neck.

His favorite picks of those baby chicks

are the two white ones from yesterday.

 He takes his three sticks to school and in class

He heard his teacher say,

“Charlie Nix, tell us about your sticks, in show and tell today."

A little nervous to tell about his sticks,

Charlie Nix gave his story away.

He told about his sticks attracting baby chicks

in a very funny way!

They all thought Charlie Nix

had something they needed to fix

after hearing his story that day.

So they tried to get his sticks

and he had to take some licks,

but never could they steal them away!

Little Charlie Nix

thought he would get some kicks

at school without delay.

 So he brought his baby chicks,

put them in the mix

and hoped they’d not run away.

 Once again, Charlie Nix

showed his favorite sticks

to his classmates on Friday.

 He brought out his baby chicks

and when he’d held his three sticks

in a very certain way,

The whole class saw those sticks

attracting baby chicks and cried,

“Charlie Nix, Hurray!”
