I know the sound of that Barkus woof He knows something Barkus has a secret When we get to our campsite my mother opens the back door of the car Barkus jumps out Baby jumps down behind him That was Barkus’s secret 6
Oh no camping is not for cats repeats my mother But when we put up the first tent Baby runs inside Baby likes camping I say See
I see says my mother But she won’t like the water Water is not for cats Barkus rolls in the sand Sand flies everywhere like rain Baby runs to the water She jumps over little waves shaking the water from her feet I think Baby likes the water too I say 8
Hmm says my mother Baby will NOT like nighttime when the owls screech in the trees But that night inside our tent Barkus snores I watch Baby Baby sits in the tent screen opening listening to the calls of owls And she watches the moon rise over the water Then Baby sleeps 9
