This story is about Jenny trying to escape from Joe, the sleigh horses, Mother Goose, and her goose. Come on, folks, let's go get Jenny, And make her become one of us! You can run all you want, Jenny, But you will never hide from us! Oh, I hope I'll be home free. Oh no! My leg is amputated! Ow! Oh, I found the amputated leg! What a pity. We got her leg now. I can still do it! I am sure I can! We're gaining on her! I'll grab her with my hand! Take my arm, but you'll never catch me! I've got her arm! I've got her arm! Good boy, Joe. We've got her arm! This could be a good luck charm! Whoa! Oh no! I can't get up! Do I really have to face my fate? Finally, we're going to pee on you! I knew it. This was going to be my fate. This story is about Stanley Yelnats trying to escape from Mother Goose and the Chawhees. Oh no! Chawhee 2 and the goose is coming here to get me! I should hide somewhere like a building, or a box, or a tree! Drat! They saw me! I'd better run fast, So I can taste my freedom at last! Uh oh! Chawhee 2 is throwing axes at me! OWWWWWWWWWWW! You can't take my severed leg from me! But they stole it anyway and kept on chasing me! I hope there's a place somewhere for me to see! OWWWWWWWWWWW! I can't go on! I'm doomed! "YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!" I fumed. But they are giving me choices I shall not ignore, Either join them, or I won't see my leg anymore.
