Point of View in Stories

Every morning Nina laces me up and slips me on her feet, and I know we are off to an adventure. She runs through a muddy field on the way to school. We have fun splashing in puddles after big rainstorms. At soccer practice, she kicks the ball with me protecting her feet. Nina gets me dirty and muddy every day. But you know what? I don't mind, because if I'm yucky by nightime, it means we've had a very fun day!

From whose point of view is the story told?

They never tell me thank you! I work hard all day, every day. I keep Wendy's popsicles frozen and Charlie's water cold. I keep the cheese from melting. I even make ice for their drinks. I never ask for a break. Their ice cream is safe with me, and I keep the yogurt from going bad. I hold all of Wendy and Charlie's artwork on my doors with magnets. Maybe a thank you note once in a while?

From whose point of view is the story told?

• Charlie

• The refrigerator

• Wendy
