Revision on Communications Writing Exercise

Two men walked out of a building. When they reached the street, they both stopped in their tracks. Coming down the street was a huge purple flamingo! They wanted to run but could not tear their eyes from this magnificent creature. It trodded toward them, feathers flowing in the breeze. They just stared into its piercing eyes. The men seemed to be enchanted. I quickly grabbed the flamingo in my teeth and ran to show my owner. I dropped it at his feet and barked loudly, proud of my prize. My owner looked surprised to see this flamingo, but I knew he would always be proud of his best friend, his best dog, Buddy! Anyway, my owner looked from me to the flamingo, and back to me. Then he said something I have never heard him say before. “Bad dog!’ he yelled. Apparently the flamingo had not actually been a flamingo, but a human in disguise! I thought to myself, “This just cannot be!” I was so sure he would be proud of me. I had always been praised for this action with plenty of food and treats, but this time I was screamed at.

Two men walked out of a building. Their eyes immediately widened as they found a huge turtle staring at them in the face. They looked to the left, then to the right, but no other person could be found in the vicinity. It was only they and the turtle. Who would make the first move? The two men, Bill and Charlie, tried to walk to the right of the turtle, however the turtle stopped their advance. Charlie backed up and tried to go around on the other side. Once again, he was unsuccessful. “I guess we’ll just have to go back inside the park office, Bill,” Charlie said, “because this animal is blocking the path.” Bill, the more adventurous of the two, said, “No Charlie, we can take this weak little turtle!” Bill and Charlie then proceeded to leap over the lethargic turtle as if it was simply a track hurdle. To their astonishment, right in front of them sat another turtle! “What are we going to do?” asked Bill. “They have us surrounded!” With nowhere to go, the men looked at each other with confusion and horror. However their fear soon turned to anger and frustration, so they started kicking the turtles. But Bill and Charlie failed to realize the hissing sound emitting from the turtles, and suddenly, the turtles ate them up with one gigantic bite.
