07 Addresses and Messes

Addresses and Messes "Ciao!" Judy said to Amy. "Bonjour!" Amy said to Judy. Amy's group was doing France for their Around-the-World-inEight-Days project. "I like your lucky thumb ring!

Amy opened a funny- shaped door at the back of her room. It went to a small room under the stairs. "You have to duck or you'll bump your head," said Amy.

"Who lives here? Elves?" asked Judy. "It's my secret place," said Amy. She pointed to the wall. Chewed-up gum was stuck all over the wall behind the staircase, where nobody could see.

Amy got out a big plastic tub with all kinds of

writing paper and smelly markers, colored pencils, stickers, rubber stamps, and glitter-glue pens. "Blue glue!" said Judy. "We can make our own postcards," said Amy. "I can print some out on the computer, even. Then we can send them to other people in the club." "Okay," said Judy.
