I stared stunned at the unusual and odd-looking
scarecrow standing in the middle of the cornfield. Looking from a
distance I spotted two of the tallest cornstalks. Suddenly the scarecrow
caught my eye. He looked about the same size as the 2 cornstalks put
together. As I was looking curiously I spied a little brown mouse
nibbling at the scarecrow's short, straight, course, tan-colored hair.
The rattling of pots and pans caught my attention. I looked in the
direction of the loud commotion and saw a sunflower bandana. As my eyes
traveled down the scarecrow's body, I instantly noticed his red and tan
checkered shirt. As my eyes traveled lower down the scarecrow's body the
rough denim blue jean pants came into sight. All of a sudden I heard the
crackle of his newspaper stuffing. A very unexpected jingle came from
his yellow bell ear. I gazed into the huge black pupils of his white
eyes. As I looked at his eyes I also spotted a violet hat with a bow as
red as a rose on his head. On his pumpkin face was a small red button
nose and a jagged toothy smile. As a strong wind blew one patch fell
off. Then I noticed that he was covered in patches and he would be for
years to come.
