Home Is Wonderful

One day in the animal kingdom Jerry the owl had a dream. He was in a house. There were people but they were not talking. There was a man who was arguing. About a moment later he was in a place that looked like the place he was in before but this time he could see a rug on the entrance of the house that said home. There were people laughing, eating, smiling and having a good time. Jerry thought for a moment, why were the people happy, why was the person not happy in the first house. Jerry woke up wondering what the dream was about and he decided to figure it out. Jerry, knowing his grandpa was old and wise, Jerry decided to ask him first. Jerry asked Grandpa owl “ hey Grandpa, do you know what is the difference between a house and a home? I was wondering if you could tell me please ?" Grandpa owl started talking and a home is. But Grandpa owl stopped. but Grandpa did not reply, instead he was silent. Oh I'm sorry Jerry said Grandpa owl after a while but I do not know what the difference between a home and a house is called Grandpa owl, I suppose you should figure it out yourself said Grampa. Jerry decide to go home he went home at the entrance of his home Jerry saw the rug it said home sweet home Jerry went inside,inside he saw his family they were talking laughing and having a good time just like in his dream,and at this moment he knew a home is where you can be yourself,happy the smell of his mom’s homemade pizza That night Jerry went to bed joyful as ever.
