Things that makes loud noise**

The tyres of a car that stops suddenly The sound of a bat that flies thorugh the night An alarm clock ringing at the maximum volume right at your ear The sound of the door slammed shut by an angry wrestler Thousands of people yelling at a big concert A girl shrieking out loud when she see a mouse A hysterical teacher screaming at you when you didn't do your homework

Her face is like a mashmellow. It is round soft and white. Her fingers are like small erasers. They are short and stubby. Her eyes are like marbles They are round and glassy. Her heart holds jealousy that is green as grass She lives in a blue house and eats chocolate cookies.
