Winn Dixie

"Yes ma'am, Littmus W Block . Now there's a story." Winn-Dixie yawned real big and lay down on his side, with a thump and a sigh. I swear he knew that phrase: "Now there's a story." And he knew it meant we weren't going anywhere real soon. "Go ahead and tell it to me, Miss Franny," I said. And I sat down cross-legged next to Winn- Dixie. I pushed him and tried to get him to share the fan. But he pretended he was asleep. And he wouldn't move.
