Pets
Lincoln liked animals a lot. Once he was at a park with his friends after a bad windstorm, and he found two baby birds. Lincoln looked all around the park to find their nest and he found it. His friends laughed at him when he came back, but he just said "I could not have slept tonight if I had not given those two little birds to their mother". When his friends hurt animals as a joke, he immediately stopped them.
When he grew up, he once found a stray dog. His kids loved it and they kept it - until the owner wanted it back. Lincoln and the owner decided that the owner would give Lincoln a puppy if he gave the dog back. Before the trade was made, the dog ran away and they never made the trade. Later on, they got another dog (they owned this one) named Fido. This dog was stabbed to death by a drunken man when the Lincolns were on vacation. Lincoln loved kittens, and so did his son. When the family was eating dinner once, he fed a kitten. His wife (who didn't like animals) got mad at him, but he continued to feed the cat. He bought two goats for his children, and they were allowed to roam free in the white house. The cleaners got mad at Lincoln because they made a mess, but he defended the goats. One time, he found peacocks with a very old and broken perch. He fixed it up so that they could be comfy. There was once a fire at the White House stable. Lincoln almost jumped in the fire, just to save the horses. He opened the doors, but some friends caught him and stopped him just in time.

Athletics
Lincoln was a very athletic man, which helped him with politics (because he was very competitive). He once wrestled a very good wrestler. He did very well in that match, but he lost. Another story says that he won the match. His friends said that he could jump really well (far). When he was an adult, he played a game called "fives". You play that game with a brick wall, a ball and two teams. You divide the wall into two halves (one half for each team). One team starts with the ball and they throw it at the wall. The other team has to hit it back against the wall and this keeps going on and on until one team misses the ball, and that team loses. When Lincoln was playing this game, he got hit in the ear with the ball. One of the people he was playing with thought that he was going to die, but he survived.
Music
Abraham Lincoln loved music, though he couldn't sing and he refused to even try. He was once on a walk and he heard someone singing a song that sounded good coming through a window. He then asked the person for a copy of the words to the song, even though he couldn't sing. He loved operas and funny songs. Music made him happy. Some people he knew once sang him a song that he liked. Ten years later he saw the same people again, and he asked them to sing the song. He never forgot that song.
