THREE: Meerm Chapter 5

  THE BRONX

  Poor Meerm.

  Meerm feel so bad. So more bad than last night. Now Meerm still belly-sick but cold and hungry also too. Also too arm hurt where burn while climb down building side. And leg hurt from fall ground. Hurt- hurt-hurt. Meerm hurt all over.

  And Meerm ver fraid. Hide in bottom old empty building. No window and many rat. Rat sniff at Meerm burn. Shoo way, throw rock. Bad place this. And so cold. Meerm miss own room and yum-yum food. Wish go back but room gone. She go look in dark. All burn, all gone.

  Meerm ver lonely. Meerm ver fraid. Not know what do. Not know where go.
