Weekend Homework- May 8th-9th

Poison Ivy

Last March Darrell went camping with the Boy Scouts. It was a three-day

trip. The scouts hiked deep into the woods. Everything they needed – food,

plates, forks, spoons, sleeping bags, tents, and clothes – was in their backpacks.

Before the trip, Darrell did not worry about the animals in the woods. He did not

worry about the darkness at night in the woods. What he did worry about was the

poison ivy. Oh, how it made him itch! One time Darrell had had poison ivy over every

inch of his body. He had oozed, itched, and scratched for three weeks. It was not a

cheerful time.

At first, Darrell did not remember what poison ivy looked like. It was green and had three

leaves. But a lot of plants were green with three leaves. He looked at books about

poison ivy to try and remember what it looked like. Before he left on the trip, he really

did think he remembered what it looked like. He was ready to stay out of the way of the

poison ivy.
