Greetings all. My name is Ryan Markey and I wrote a short story about a boy his ferret. It's named "A Boy and His Ferret". It's told thru the eyes of the boy so keep in mind I do not talk like this or spell like this in real life. Also note that most of the 'R's in this are replaced with 'W's. That's how a child talks. Remember that what you are hearing is what a child is saying, not an adult. The Boy and His Ferret A short-story by Ryan Markey My name Tyler and Im 5 yeaws old. I have a fewet. His name Dew.
