  1. I would rather be a tiny rhino than be a large hamster. First of all you could go any where in tiny wholes and in big wholes. Predators wouldn't be able to find or see you. Also plants would be like trees, and that would be awesome. Basically you wouldn't get killed, and it would be really cool to climb on every thing.

    I would want to be a tiny rhino. I chose that one because it would be fun to go in to small places that are fun to something small. Another reason is that I could ram a bug out of my place with my tiny horn! Another reason is that I could get on one of those plastic parachute guys and parachute of the stairs. And, my last reason is that I could fly of high things. I want to be a tiny rhino!

  3. If I could be a big hamster or a tiny rhino I would choose to be a big hamster. I would be a big hamster because if you were a big hamster you would get to run around in a huge hamster ball. Secondly, you would get to play with all of the big toys like you could get a car to roller skate around town. Also if you were a big hamster you could find anything by standing up if you are lost. That is why I would be a big hamster over being a tiny rhino.

  5. If I had a choice between a tiny rhino and a giant hamster I would be a tiny rhino. First of all if you were a tiny rhino you could have a tiny horn to protect yourself. Second if you were a tiny rhino you would get to fit into lots of stuff for example, an air vent. Third if you were a tiny rhino you could walk around and steel all the rhino food without anyone seeing you because you are a tiny rhino. I would rather be a tiny rhino than a giant hamster.

  8. I would rather be a tiny rhino than a giant hamster. being tiny means you can fit in very small spaces. Being giant means that you are clumsy and you are to big for anything. If you were tiny, you would be more of a prey, but at least you have an awesome horn for defenses. Also you could be more of a spy and nobody would see you because you are tiny. When you are tiny, the whole world seems different. Those are a few of the reasons I want to be a tiny rhino. Go Tiny Rhinos!

  9. If I could choose to be a giant hamster or a tint rhino, I would choose to be a tiny rhino. I would choose that because I love rhinos and hamsters scar me. Also if I were a huge hamster there would be no where for me to go/ live. Last if I was a tiny rhino I would be like medium size, so If I live in the wild it would be hard for prey to find me. I would choose to be a tine rhino over being a huge hamster.

  10. If I had to choose between being a giant hamster or a tiny rhino, I would choose a giant hamster because you could make your house you play room. Also you would be able to eat way more potatoes if you were a giant hamster. It is better to be a giant hamster because you could be as big as a elephant, and that means you would be aloud to go on all the theme park rides because you are so tall. If you were a giant hamster you would have the most amazing face, and you would make the most amazing sounds. I would totally want to be a giant hamster.

  11. If I could be either a tiny rhino or a giant hamster I would choose to be a tiny rhino. One reason is, that it would be awesome to have a pet tiny rhino. Another reason is, that you would get a lot of money for having the world's smallest rhino. The last reason is, that it would be amazing to see everything being huge. That is why I chose to be a tiny rhino.

  12. If I had to choose between being a giant hamster or a tiny rhino, I would have to choose to be a giant hamster.
    My reasons:
    Well since I get to choose how giant the hamster is, I think the hamster would probably be as big as the white board. Then I could scare away the jack-russel that lives on my street that attacks my dog. My second reason is that I would get to eat whatever I wanted. I could also steal stuff from the grocery store and not have pay for it. And if someone wanted to ride me, I would let them. BUT- if they were mean people, I would buck them off into a lake. If they were nice I would let them ride me whenever I wanted. I could also stop traffic, and let specific people go when I wanted them to. And I would let people ride my back to Taco bell. That is why I chose to be a giant hamster instead of a tiny rhino.

  13. I would be a giant hamster. I could swim out in the ocean and eat sharks. I could sleep on the Eiffl tower and eat Mcdonalds for breakfast. I couldn't be kept in a cage. Every day would be a recess and P.E. I could make hamster car. I would get tones of attention.Water falls would be a shower and a ocean would be a pool.

  14. I would rather be a tiny rhino. I would be a tiny rhino because I could fit in smaller spaces. If you were a tiny rhino you could go places where no other animal has ever been. If you were a tiny rhino you could pull tricks on other people and they would not now it. So over all it is much better to be a tiny rhino than a huge hamster cause you can fit in small places and you can pull tricks on people very easy.

  20. If I were to be a giant hamster or a tiny rhino I would be a tiny rhino because first of all giant hamster's would be heavy and hardly be able to move. Second of all being a tiny rhino would help trucking over trees and hitting harder. Third of all being a tiny rhino you could have a horn to poke stuff. Fourth of all a giant hamster would just get in the way. Fifth of all you could scare mini animals away even though you are small. That is why I chose to be a tiny rhino over a giant hamster.

  22. I am to choose between being a tiny rhino or a giant hamster. I choose to be a giant hamster. I think it would be kind of cool to be an over sized hamster for a while. These reasons will state the reasons why being a giant hamster is better than being a tiny rhino. I would be able to fit inside mini, barbie doll cars. I could drive them around my house back and forth I could have a mini t.v (that is what it is to me right now) and have a movie theater every night.Everything (from my perspective) would be ginormous!You could fit inside projects that your friends, family or siblings make.I would be able to fit inside my friends (and family's) pockets and coffee mugs. And, in my opinion hamsters are better than rhinos, in my opinion! Every food would have to be cut up into bits, so I could fit it into my mouth. Everything that I owned would be so small and since I am regular size right now it would be kind of funny when I grew back to myself and I had all these tiny little trinkets. These are the reasons why I think that being a giant hamster would be better than a tiny rhino.

  23. If I had to choose from being a giant hamster or being a tiny rhino, I would choose to be a tiny rhino. I would be a tiny rhino because then I could go though big and small holes. Also, people would think that I am cute, and not be scared of me. Also I could fit in somebody's pocket. I would also be very good at the game hide and seek. I could also swim in a kitty pool, but it would feel like I am in a big lake. Also if I was in a grocery store, then I could steel little nibbles of food. Also, if I was on a trampoline, I can jump very, very high. You could also bounce on giant gummy worms and giant gummy bears, and you could also eat it too! That is why I would rather be a tiny rhino other that a giant hamster.

  25. I would rather be a tiny rhino than a giant hamster because a rhino is fierce no matter what size it is and I like being fierce. Plus if you were a giant hamster people would always hug you even if they are strangers and I don't like being hugged by stragers.And a tiny rhino is a good guard and you could guard banks our jewerly stores and get paided(well probably not paided).That is why I would want to be a tiny rhino than a giant hanster.

    If I got the choice to me a giant hamster, or if I got the choice to be a tiny rhino. I would choose getting to be a tiny rhino because if you were a giant hamster you would be too big because nobody would want to play with a really big hamster. Also, I would like to be a tiny rhino because I would get to have a tusk to protect myself, and I would be able to get into really tiny places. Also, I would get to go on trips with my family because I would be able to fit into their purse. Another thing is that I would like to treated like family because I would be able to run fast, and I would be able to be treated like family. Also, I giant hamster would be way to big to do anything you just have stay outside because you would be way to big to come inside. Another thing is that being a tiny rhino I would be able to a little tiny house made out of boxes, but a giant hamster would just have to sit under a really really really big tree, and that would be no fun at all. Also, being a tiny rhino I would get to swim in the ocean, lake rivers, and pools, but is you were a giant hamster you couldn't swim because you would be too big you would just weigh yourself down. If I had the choice to be a tiny rhino, or if I had the choice to be a giant hamster. I would be a tiny rhino because you would get to go on really fun vacations.

    2) I can blend in with the trees and wildlife when there are not any small spaces.
    3) The world would be a much bigger place for me to explore.

  28. I would rather be a tiny rhino than a giant hamster because if I am a tiny rhino ,animals will under estimate how strong I can be, and I could deck them. also because if I was a giant hamsters people will run away from me and I would be very lonely. Also I have a hamster. He is very feisty so, if we make him a giant he would be dangers. Also a small rhino would be a beast! I would be awesome and also cute. Also I love things that are big but shrunken into tiny little versions of they self. Also I could carry it around easy and when I travel on a plane or a train he and I will not be separated. That is why I would rather be a tiny rhino than a giant hamster.

  29. If I had to choose to either be a giant hamster or a tiny rhino, I would choose to be a tiny rhino. I would choose to be a tiny rhino instead of a giant hamster because I would be able to fit into more small places for example, a drawer, a shoe, or a pencil case. I would also rather be a tiny rhino than a giant hamster because I would not have to go to school because I would be so tiny that nobody could even be able to see me at all and I could also not have to go to dentist appointments, doctors appointments, or do anything that I don't want to do. Lastly I would rather be a tiny rhino instead of a giant hamster because I could easily be able to just eat dessert at dinner even if I had only barely eaten my dinner because I could just go sneak my dessert out of the refrigerator and eat it. If I was a giant hamster I wouldn't be able to do that because I would easily get caught. That's why I would rather be a tiny rhino than a giant hamster.

  31. I would rather be a tiny rhino than a giant hampster because people could keep me as a pet. Also because instead of having to sit in one place while getting pet you can sit in someone's lap and get pet. You couldn't climb on furniture if you were a giant hampster, but if you were a tiny rhino you could hop on furniture and be more comfortable. I would rather be a tiny rhino than a giant hampster.
