Lisa had four brothers and two sisters and a nephew. K.C. was the oldest, he was 29 years old. He had dark brown hair, so dark it looked as though it was black. Jared who just turned 24, he was the next oldest, he had light brown hair with a neat, trimmed, beard. Jared's wife, Melissa, she was 23; she had chin-length thick, brown hair. Then there was Zechariah and Eli, they were also tall, 12 year olds with brown hair and hazel eyes. They were twins. Also, there was Gordon, he was only 1 years old, with thick short blond hair.
Lisa had a sister too, her name was Kimberly. Kim was 10, with reddish-brown hair, and blue eyes. Kim liked to ask questions sometimes.
Her family lived on a family farm, it had a big house and a barn in which they kept goats, chickens, and a Siamese Cat named Killer . Behind the farm was a gigantic forest.
One summer morning Zac, Eli, Lisa, and Kim were walking in the woods They heard some rustling and whining in the bushes.
"What's That?" asked Kim.
"I'm not quite sure." said Zac spoke in a low, quiet tone.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's find out. For all we know it could be an animal." said Eli boldly.
"OK. But I hope it's a tame animal." said Lisa.
Sure enough, it was an animal, but not what the kids expected. It was a puppy, all tied up in the bushes.
"Should we help it?" asked Kim.
"'Should we help it?'Of course we should help it! It's all tangled up!" Eli said with a raised voice.
"No, it's not tangled up, it's tied up. Like someone left it here to die." Noted Lisa.
"How do you know?" Asked Kim.
"Well," Lisa started. "It's tied up, I think there's some scratches in it's face, and there's no food, or water bowls here."
"Wow, you sound a bit like Hermione." Said Eli, trying not to laugh. They loved to read the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, and pretended to be the characters sometimes.
"Honestly, why do you have to get off the subject, Eli?" Said Lisa in her English accent.
"OK, back onto subject, then." Said Zac. "I think we need to get Dad because he'll know what to do. I mean,-"
"Yeah, yeah, we know that story. We went outside, found a cat in out backyard, and kept it." Lisa rushed. "Now let's get Dad."
Ten minutes later everyone came leading Dad. Kim was leading by holding his hand.
"Right here, Dad. It's all tied up." Then Eli showed Dad where the puppy was tied up.
