The Adventures of Pinky

Declan often goes to the grocery store with his mom. He likes being able to pull things off the shelves and ride in the big rolling cart. One day he went to the store with his best friend Pinky the pink zebra, whom Declan loves very much.

As usual, Declan was very curious about everything and had to touch all the fun things on the shelves- the candy, the mop heads, the sports drinks... He looked at all the colorful fruit and tried to help put them in the cart. He came across the boxes of juice and asked if he can have some. And then Pinky spotted all the fun new toys by the cookies and he just had to go see.

Pinky played with the bouncy balls, and the balloons, and the shiny trucks. Declan was so excited when it was time to pay for the groceries, he left Pinky sitting in the truck that he was driving.

That night Declan was very sad. Pinky always went to bed with Declan at bed time, and sleeping in a big bed just wasn't the same without Pinky.

The next day, Declan and his family looked everywhere that they could think of. They went back to all the places that they had been, and still they could not find Pinky. The alarm was put out to all in the neighborhood. Pinky was lost.

Pinky had all but given up when he heard a familiar voice. Una's friend Margaret was playing with the toys in the same area when she spotted Pinky. There was no question that this was the one and only Pinky as there is no other like it. Margaret told her mom about what she saw, and soon Declan and Pinky were reunited.

Pinky was happy to be sleeping in a nice warm bed with his favorite buddy that night. And so was Declan.
