Elfamania By Elizabeth Age 7 Memphis, Tennessee Once there was a village called Elfamania. Elfs lived there. Elfamania was shaped like an elf's head. In Elfamania there was a castle. The castle was tall, big and wide. Inside the castle there was a dining room. Inside the dining room were six chairs. One was for the Princess. The princess' name was Elfalisha. Her parents' names were Queen Quela and King Kang. The queen, king and their helper, Sinistro, are the only people in Elfamania who have names with no "Elf" in it. Elfalisha was 7 years old. Quela the queen was about 69 years old, while Kang, the king, was 73 years old. People were sometimes welcomed to have dinner with the princess, the queen and the king. The queen and king had six guards. Two guards watched for strangers on the top of the castle. Two took care of the drawbridge. Then the other two guarded the king's and queen's jewels and gold. King Kang's and Queen Quela's helper, Sinistro, was a very bad guy because he came from Midst Strolly Town (an evil city). He moved to Elfamania after his house was burnt down by a humongous fire. King Kang and Queen Quela hired Sinistro because they did not know that he was evil. Everyone who came from Midst Strolly Town was evil. They stole each other's things, burned down houses, and killed each other. Sinistro's uncle was a bad wizard who taught him evil tricks and gave him a hypnotizing ring and a cloak. Sinistro had a pet dragon named Rascal. Rascal was 90,000 years old. Rascal loved to eat fish with ketchup and human eyeballs. When Elfalisha was 6 years old she met an old lady who lived next to the castle. The old lady's name was Rosa-Elf. She was 81 years old. All the old perople in Elfamania are poor because they can't work anymore. Every morning Elfalisha would go to visit her friend the old lady. They would go to the candy store, fold stuff out of paper, and go on a tour of each other's gardens. They also liked to trick Sinistro. Elfalisha and Rosa-Elf always loved to visit each other. One day Sinistro put sleeping spells over the guards and then hypnotized the queen and king with his hypnotizing ring. He made them gather gold and put it into his truck. When all the gold was in the truck he un-hypnotized them. King Kang, Queen Quela, and the guards didn't remember what happened. That night when Elfalisha came to check on the gold it was gone. "Where could it be?" She wondered. On the way back to tell the king and queen the gold was gone, she saw something sparkle in Sinistro's truck. When she got there she peeked inside and saw hundreds of million of pieces of gold! Before she walked away from the truck, she spotted a strip of paper that said "Leaving on Sunday." She also saw something with a round grey rock and a square shaped glass in the middle of the rock. It was Sinistro's hypnotizing ring beside the stripe of paper, and realised he could have hypnotized the queen and king. Elfalisha had to stop Sinistro. The next day, Elfalisha told old lady Rosa-Elf about the pieces of gold, the strip of paper, the hypnotizing ring and about Sinistro. They both went off to find Sinistro. When they asked him about the gold in the truck he said, "The queen and king did it." That sentence gave Elfalisha and Rosa-Elf a big clue. Now they knew Sinistro had hypnotized the queen and king. Elfalisha and Rosa-Elf went to tell the queen and king about them being hypnotized and taking all the gold to Sinistro's truck. The queen and king thought they were joking and didn't believe them. That night Rosa-Elf took the ring from Sinistro's truck and showed it to the king and queen. They finally believed it was true. King Kang, Queen Quela, and two guards went to arrest Sinistro. They thought Sinistro was in the basement of the castle. He wasn't. They looked in the attic and saw footprints. They followed the strange footprints. The strange footprints ended at the guest room where Sinistro slept. They heard a strange noise and they saw the bed go up and down. It looked like someone was jumping on the bed! They couldn't see anyone on it. Then they noticed a pair of shoes on the bed. They were Sinistro's shoes and they were jumping on the bed!! How did Sinistro disappear?! The next two days, Elfalisha and Rosa-Elf looked everywhere for Sinistro, and found a cloak in Sinistro's closet which they have never seen before. Elfalisha and Rosa-Elf were curious about the cloak. They carefully took the cloak and showed it to Queen Quela and King Kang. The king thought the cloak would make a perfect cape for himself. But when he tried it on everyone thought he had disappeared. When he took the cloak off he was back where he had been. Now they all knew the cloak was used to make people invisible. Sinistro had used it to make himself invisible when they tried to arrest him. That very same night, King Kang and Queen Quela had a terrible nightmare. They dreamed that Sinistro had wrecked the palace, kill Elfalisha, Rosa-Elf and themselves and become king! When they woke up they were afraid. After breakfast, the queen and king ran out of the castle. They went to find the fortune teller and the wise man in the village. They asked the fortune teller and the wise man what their dream meant. They both said: "It means Sinistro will one day steal all the gold in Elfamania and be the richest person in the world and become king!" King Kang and Queen Quela thought this would be true. They didn't want this to happen to them. They were determined to stop Sinistro but didn't know how to find him. Sinistro got tired of hiding and went to ask the village fortune teller if he would become king because he was so rich! The fortune teller said, "Yes." Sinistro was so excited he couldn't wait! So he told his dragon Rascal and they ran to Sinistro's truck. They were about to leave Elfamania when the guards saw them and started chasing after them. Rascal tried to warn Sinistro about the guards but Sinistro won't listen. Then the guards caught up and one of them poked a hole in one of the wheels. The dragon Rascal then ate that guard's spear and the guard ran away. The spear got stuck in the dragon's throat. The dragon roared, he roared so loud that Elfalisha, Rosa-Elf and the Queen and King heard him. They came running after the guards. By the time they got there the guards had opened the truck door and let all the gold fall out of the truck. Villagers came running to see what happened. They saw the dragon Rascal dead. Sinistro got arrested, and the ground was covered with gold! The King and Queen gave a piece of gold to each poor villager and two pieces of gold to Rosa-Elf and Elfalisha. All the villagers cheered and went back to their houses. Rosa-Elf and Elfalisha went back to the castle and had dinner with Queen Quela and King Kang. Now nobody is poor in Elfmania any more, and everyone is happy! The Huge Snowball By Mercedes The story is about a boy named Freadrick and he was building a snow ball and it was huge!!

The Adventures of a Flea By Emilie and Tavi Ages 12 Hello my name is Synthia, but they call me Sydney for short. I'm a flea, a little tiny flea and this is my story… It all started on a bright and sunny day when I was picking tomatoes for a picnic with my family. All of a sudden I saw a huge pile of spaghetti lying on the ground. I went and tried to pick it up to bring it to my family's picnic, but it was too heavy, so I just crawled in to eat it myself. When I took the first bite I was disgusted by the taste of the strawberry flavored goop. As I turned around to go back, I started to rise in the so called spaghetti and I started to lose my balance, but I was saved by the strawberry goop. Then I realized I wasn't in spaghetti at all. I was in the hair of the thing that fleas fear the most…..HUMANS!!!!!!!!!! A week passed but she never noticed I was there. One time I had to dodge a huge hair band four times my size, I was shocked to know that I was still alive and she still hadn't noticed I was there. Then one day she rubbed her hand through her hair and she felt me. She screamed her head off. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH was the only thing I heard for about 30 seconds. Then she ran home from the park and her so-called mother (to me she was a monster) pulled me out and flicked me in to the air… …to be continued.

Come back!" said Thomas and Robert. They cried when the Air Head Monster flew away. The Air Head Monster shook his head and then he said to Thomas and Robert: "Run, run, away to your beds. Because I'm the monster made of all of the Air Heads!" And as quick as a wrapper in the wind, he rocketed in the air. Then he flew. And flew. And flew. Until…. A bee flew by the monster. "Bzzzzzzzzz. Mmm! A snack? Looks like a delight." The Air Head Monster flew, as if he didn't hear the bee. Then, after a long period of time, the bee grew very angry. He actually, for a second, looked like a whistling red kettle. "Why are you not listing to me?" The Air Head Monster finally shook his head and finally said to the bee: "Run, Run, away to your beds. Because I'm the monster made of all of the Air Heads!" And as fast as you can say "Sassafras" he blew past the bee. Then he flew, and flew, and flew…. Until, a big giant bird flew near the Air Head Monster. "Uh-oh!" The Air Head Monster sighed. Now he was in trouble. The bird flew down and missed him by a tiny nip. "TWEEEET! I missed. Of all the snacks….." The Air Head Monster just shook his head… But, as soon as he opened his little mouth, a plane whooshed by. The Air Head Monster didn't say one peep when the plane operator said over his giant loudspeaker, "Snack flyer, you must land!" Out of nowhere, the plane dived toward the Air Head Monster. And POOF!! The Air Head Monster broke in to a million pieces. Then he fell, and fell, and fell. And the last we heard of him, he is happy in Robert's and Thomas' bellies. And at least Robert and Thomas lived happily ever after. Marsa By Esther Age 9 Málaga, Spain Once upon a time, Parpala existed; now it doesn't because it got washed away by a big storm. Well, in Parpala, lived a girl named Marsa. She had black eyes and black hair, like the rest of the children there. The children were taught to gather food and reeds when they were five years old. The adults made baskets with the numerous reeds that grew on the island and exported them. One day Marsa went out with four other children to gather reeds. They started walking to where the best reeds were, two miles away. Marsa and the rest gathered twelve full baskets of reeds and headed home. Marsa, just by herself, had gathered four of those baskets. The people in the village praised her for her good work. The next day Marsa went out again, but not to gather reeds, she went to gather fish in a boat called a 'tartope', which was very slim and went quickly. She and the three other children caught twenty fish that day and Marsa was very happy. Then came the day all the children looked forward to, the day where they went and saw who was the most resourceful of the children and who was the second most resourceful and so on. You had to be twelve to enter the contest. The test was who could get the most food in one day; the different types of foods had different values: honey was highest, then apples, then fish, then berries. The leaders counted up and saw how much food each had gathered and the top five were said ready to join the adult world. Marsa won first place! She was very, very happy. Her mother and father were the happiest parents on the island. The Fish Fight By Amber Age: 14 Australia "One dead fish, two dead fish, and three dead more," sang a cute little boy with blonde curls. His sister Carla was yelling angrily at him. "Don't be stupid Nick!" she was saying. The fish in the tank stared at the two arguing kids in interest and fear, as well at that dead fish Nick picked out of the tank. "Will we be next?" asked one fish of the other. Another fish tank containing goldfish shook their heads at the two children. "We need to stop them before they kill all the fish," said the leader of the goldfish firmly. All the fish nodded in agreement, watching and feeling nervous. Then the leader's sidekick had a brilliant idea. "Let's tip the tank over and swim to the other side!" he suggested. With all their strength and might the fish all moved to the front of the tank, and started pushing forward. The tank fell to the ground with a crash. A little girl screamed and rushed out of the shop with her mother. Surprisingly the fish managed to get a little life and they 'swam' towards the two children and jumped on their legs. "Ew," screamed Carla. "I've got dead fish all over me." Havoc ensued in the pet shop as all the animals wanted to fight the kids. "No!" screamed the shopkeeper in despair. Nick and Carla ran out of the shop, covered in scratches and chased by dogs. And thus the animals proclaimed victory. The war had ended. But the only problem was, all the fish were dead. Suddenly the little girl who had been in tears and who had run out of the shop chased by animals, woke up in bed, thankful that it was only a dream… What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up? By Anya Age 12 Melbourne, Australia What Anya wanted most of all was to be a princess. She imagined herself in a long blue gown with pretty flowers sowed on it. She looked down at her shoes and imagined pretty, fancy ones; silver with gold diamonds at the pointy edge of both her shoes. She thought of the golden crown that would be on her head and sighed… "Anya, pay attention!" The little girl jolted out of her beautiful daydream, to find herself back in class. "I'm allowed to dream," she snapped back at her teacher. "It's not against the law, is it?" Her teacher looked shocked. "Anya, don't speak like that, " she begged. "And you need your education. It's important." Anya ignored that comment and stared fixedly at James, a boy in her class who was standing up. "Why is he standing up?" Anya demanded. She always was a curious little girl. "I was asking him a question," said the teacher. (Kids these days, she thought with a sigh.) at was the question?" Anya asked curiously. at you want to be when you grow up." Anya snorted. "What a dumb question," she said. The teacher was in despair. "It's a good question," she said. "It makes you think and realise about your future." "Well, what do you want to be when you grow up?" asked the teacher, "A princess," replied Anya. The others giggled. "You wouldn't be a princess if you acted that way, Anya," said her teacher at once. "The prince of England would have to marry you if you wanted to be one," she added. "I could be a princess any day, all girls are," she said haughtily. "One day," said her teacher with a sigh. "If only you will behave." <1a href="MaxTheMouse.htm"> Max the Mouse By Austin Age 13 Gahanna, OH Once a mouse by the name of Max scurried around and saw a telephone wire. It looked so good, he decided to dine on it. With a mighty chomp, he bit through the wire. It was delicious but electrocuted poor old Max. He was carried away to the mousey hospital and recovered. He jumped outside in joy, did a little jig, and found he was floating in a cloud. In an instant he was hit by a jumbo airplane and fell to back to the ground unharmed. He found he was just like his idol Super Mouse. Max wanted to be Super Mouse's sidekick and though of some names. The Burning Bumpkin? Nah. The Smelly Sewer Rat? Mighty Moron? Mighty Max! Mighty Max flew up in the air in search of his hero. He found Super Mouse being exposed to some Ratonite poison. Might Mouses's archenemy Metallirat was killing Super Mouse with Ratonite poison! Mighty Max rushed in and found he wasn't harmed by the poison. He blasted Metallirat with heat vision and sent him flying. Super Mouse made Mighty Max his sidekick and flew to a cheese buffet with Mighty Max. While eating, Mighty Max found cheese hurt him the same way Ratonite Poison hurt Super Mouse! "Noooooooooooooooo!" So Super Mouse and Mighty Max fought bad guys forever and Mighty Max is still weakened by cheese. Never to be continued. What's Wrong? By Taryn Age 13 Gahanna, OH "Uhm, hey guys what's goin...never mind. What's wrong with Alvin?" said Zach. "I lost my favorite potato!" replied Alvin furiously. Zach said, "What's so special about it?" "My ganny gave it to me when I was just a young fella!" "Uhh, I'm sure we can find it around somewhere. Wouldn't your potato be rotten by now?" said Zach. "Yeah, it may stink a little, but every time I smell it, I always think of my granny!" Alvin said. "Okay, I guess I'll start looking. I may be able to smell it too," chuckled Zach. So all of us, Alvin, Zach, Jamie, and Phil split up with nose plugs searching for the smelly old, deformed potato. "Uhh, disgusting!" yelped Jamie. "I smell something horrible!" We all came to the spot where she was and saw what she smelled. "That smell is just like my potato!" Alvin said. While Zach was looking around, he started running and tripped over a hole in the ground. It was so funny everyone started laughing at him. He went to Alvin and told him that he was done looking for the potato, but Alvin said that they already found it. "What???" yelled Zach. "You didn't tell me!" "Well, I thought you wouldn't care and I didn't know where you were, so oops. Okay, wow, that thing really does stink though! Eww wee!" When Grownups Go To School… By Ellis Age 10 Portland, Maine "Mom, go and get your backpack ready for school!!!!" I yelled to my mom from the kitchen, where I was making dads lunch. "But Samantha can't I stay home today??" She yelled to me while she put her books in her bag. Sometimes I wish that kids went to school instead of going to work, making dinner, and cleaning the house!!! But In this time (2038) it's the parents who get homework and Play Xbox 1060 all-day! "Well this is my life, cleaning after 'Ma' and 'Pa' all day long, while they get to chill with friends and go in there hover car and listening To "Flimp", the new kind of music. It's like when we used to listen to rap and R+B but "Flimp" is the new style today. So that's pretty much it, grown-ups go to school, listen to "Flimp", ride in there hover car, chill with friends, and make messes for us kids to clean up after them, clean the house, and go to work… so it's totally different now. Kids go to work; grownups go to school. Maybe for you this might be the way things are when you grow up… you might have to do that stressing school ALL over again so you'd better start cleaning up after yourself and being responsible for YOUR messes that YOU made!!! Just kiddin'… that's OUR job being slobs and having fun. It's the parents' job to clean up after us, right, right????? Not really but… whatever. |
The Head Hassle By Farah McDonough, Georgia Hi, my name is Kimberly Simpson (I am not in ANY way related to Bart Simpson!) I am in grade 6 and go to school at West Jr. High. My homeroom teacher, Mr. Fibber, teaches Science and doesn't believe a word I say. Sometimes I really believe that last names tell your personality. But I don't think I have a funny looking head. My friend, Katie Song absolutely loves to sing! I kind of think it's weird the way their last names describe them! So I guess I'll do some research of my family's heads (Yikes!) I took my sister's Hippo flashlight (the one that when you press a button the head pops open, makes a weird sound, and then finally comes on). I went straight to the attic and tried to find the tiny button which was especially hard to find in the dark! While I was fumbling around with the hippo I accidentally pressed the button which made a startling noise since I didn't know I'd pressed the button. I jumped when it made the awful noise. I then figured out that the hippo flashlight only made a dim light which was upsetting. I changed the batteries and turned the hippo on downstairs because I didn't want to go through that awful process again! I ran up to the attic and grabbed the albums and took them to my room which was a mess due to my sister. I then figured out that my ancestors had funny heads. I decided not to tell my mom because that would lead to a lecture. I'm still glad I don't have a funny head, but it was interesting doing the research. I can't wait until tomorrow so I can tell my friends! I'm Sorry, Katie By Isha India I was sitting in my room writing in my journal when I suddenly heard the phone bell ringing in the other room. My mom picked up the phone and by her expressions I could tell that something serious had happened. I crossed my fingers as I thought I knew what the news was. Mom, with a sombre face, put the receiver down and went into her room. Weird, it was. She never did that before. Whenever I was standing with her while she was receiving a call, she always told me what the call was about, but today, she didn't tell me anything. Really strange! I tried to talk to her but her room's door was locked so I came back to my room and put the journal back as I didn't feel like writing anymore. I was just wondering about mom's weird behaviour when suddenly I heard my door open. I saw mom entering the room with her eyes all red and tears swimming in them. I could not control myself and words came rushing out of my mouth after one another, "Mom is Katie all right?" and instantly I got the answer as tears poured down my mom's face. Katie's my elder sister, my best friend and my every thing. She was just three when I was born but loves me more than anyone else does. She's the most perfect girl I've ever seen, with long blonde hair, ocean blue eyes and tall, slender body. She looks exactly like a model and sometimes I was even jealous of her, as I'm short, chubby with glasses and too many freckles on my face. Still she's never embarrassed to introduce me to her friends. She always helps me with my schoolwork and even takes me out on Saturday nights. You see I'm partly deaf. It's Katie who encourages me to lead a normal life. When I was born I was normal but when I was two years old, I met with an accident and became deaf. Since then my elder sister has always supported me. Whenever I was with Katie, I felt well protected from this big world, but I think she's far too good to be in this world. Last Saturday, as usual, we went out to have dinner and then took a long walk in the central park. On the way home I insisted she buy a few chocolates and she went in the store. I was standing outside waiting for her when suddenly a car came. I didn't realize that I was standing in the middle of the road and being deaf I could not hear its horn. It was again my sister who saved me… but could not save herself. She was badly hurt. I didn't know what to do so I called mom and told her everything. Katie was then admitted to hospital, her condition critical. I couldn't forgive myself. I hated myself more than anything. I knew that because of my deafness I had almost lost my sister. I knew that she would not wakeup… but still there was a small ray of hope in some corner of my heart… Today that phone call blew away that ray of hope, too. I had lost my sister, my friend and my every thing. I seriously don't know how I will ever forgive myself. Everybody keeps saying that it wasn't my fault. But that cannot console me. Nothing can. I'm sorry, Katie, I am really so very sorry… A Walk In The Candy Store By Michelle Age 15 Bayport, NY Daisy loves going into the candy store, Chocolate, peppermint, lollipops, and more.

The Forest of Doom By Danielle Age 8 West Chester, OH. One normal summer day, Rose and Jeff were cleaning as usual for their big and mean older sister , Cecilia. After hours of work Rose and Jeff were worn out. Rose and Jeff wanted to play so badly outside. So Rose and Jeff decided to go out and play. After a while they got tired of playing in their back yard. So they started to explore different places (like in 'old woods'). Then they came towards a big forest. But as they came closer they saw a sign that read "Do Not Enter The Forest Of Doom" !!!!!!! Rose and Jeff decided it was too late to explore it. So they went home. The next day after their usual day of cleaning they went back to the forest of doom. They ignored the sign and went right in. Then when they were further inside they figured out why it was called the forest of doom. Inside were dead snakes , and some alive! There was also a bridge. Rose decided to go over the bridge (while Jeff lagged behind). While Rose was walking across, the bridge broke and fell, taking Rose down with it. Now Rose was usually the brave one of the bunch , but now Rose was very scared. Jeff looked around trying to find a rope or something to throw to her. All of a sudden Cecilia came by in a boat and told Jeff to jump into the boat. At first Jeff just stared at her, then he jumped into the boat. Cecilia threw Rose a rope and pulled her into the boat. After they got home Rose and Jeff asked Cecilia how she knew they were there. Cecilia told them that she had heard them yelling and instantly knew that they were in the forest of doom. Then she told them that she once got stuck in there too. But she also had a friend there who saved her life but then died in a car accident the next day. Then they decided too be the best family in the world. And the lived happily ever after. A Beautiful Day By Anna Age 4 Wappingers Falls, NY What a beautiful snowy day. I want to go out a play. Mom says no way, your snowsuit is broken. I can't seem to find my sewing basket. I will help by looking. I looked it my closet, not there, just some toys and some other stuff. I looked in my sister's room and she told me to get out. I looked in Mom and Dad's room and a lot of grown up stuff in there I can't touch. So I went downstairs for a break and found it sitting by the sofa. I yelled, "Mommy, mommy I found it! Can you please fix my snowsuit before Grandma comes over to play?" Mom came down in a hurry. She started to sew quickly. Just as mommy was finishing, I heard a knot at the door, it was Grandma ready to play with me. We all went out to play. We played snow fort and built a snow man and snow woman. We came back inside and drank a cup of hot coco with a side order of marshmallows. I was in charge of handing out the marshmallows. Grandma shared her marshmallows with me. It was a beautiful day. Fruit Roll Up Boy By Adam Age 6 and Thomas Age 11 Franklin Square, NY One fine day a little old lady went to the deli.

"Oh yes I can!" said the goat. So the Gingerbread Boy got away, went inside and took a nap. After his nap he woke up and heard a noise. It sounded like someone got hurt so he left the house and went deeper into the woods to see what was making the noise. As he walked, the sound was getting closer and closer and then a fox appeared. The fox said, "Hop, hop into my mouth!" Then the Gingerbread Boy said, "Ha, ha, ha. You can't catch me!" The Gingerbread Boy had run away from everyone and now he wanted to go home.

This news-breaking headline all started last week when I was eating my peanut butter, cherry jelly and whole strawberries with pepperoni on top cooked in a stove at 493 degrees for 17 minutes. This is my favorite sandwich. I stumbled upon the recipe 7 years ago, but that's a different story. I suppose I should tell you my name before I tell you the story of my life. My name is Stanslov Jorny. I am captain of my cricket team in Ireland. That is pretty much all I do but now I think I have a new future job occupation because I am one of the most famous people on the earth. The afternoon while I was eating my sandwich I had a sneezing fit and out of my nose popped a round marble shaped ball. It landed on my lap and started to vibrate. But it wasn't really vibrating, it was rolling, so fast that that by the time I was looking at where it was it was already ten feet away. My dog Bally (a Dalmatian) who had been sitting next to me darted after it with persistence, all the way through my pasture. After twenty minutes it must've given up because it stopped. Then the strangest thing happened. The little marble started to glow and a human being just appeared right in front of me. Then smiled, said bye, and ran off into the woods at great speed. Maybe going thirty mph. Then the same thing happened only this time a nation of people appeared that looked to be from all different countries. At the same time they all said bye and sped into the woods. And the rest is to be continued.. The Tale of Twila and Zeus By Alli Age 11 West Jordan, UT Zeus, the God of Heaven and Earth is married to Hera. Zeus often tends to have a keen eye for young maidens and ends up marrying a few. One of the women he fell in love with was Twila, a young maiden in the city of Thayma. She was extremely beautiful and was considered the most beautiful maiden in the city. She could never go ANYWHERE without those annoying boys, or what others call "MEN", crowding around her wherever she went! Every time they would bother her, she started crying. They would ask her what was wrong and she would tell them that she lost her something and couldn't find it anywhere. They would all want her to like them, so they would race off to find it. (Of course she would have it hidden somewhere on her, so they couldn't find it.) Her opinion of "MEN" stayed the same until she met someone. He was handsome and new to the city. She was impressed how he simply observed her instead of showing off for her like the others. One day, he asked her to take a walk with him. She didn't decline and went along. He led her to a shed in a big field not far from town. He reached out and grabbed her hand. She didn't flinch. "Twila, I know who you are, but do you know who I am?" Twila remained silent and shook her head no. "I am Zeus," he said quickly. "And I want you to be my wife." Twila almost fainted. "O-o-ofcourse I will," she stammered. And you can guess the rest of the story. Zeus and Twila marry, and Twila is perfectly happy in her home on Mount Olympus. The rest is for fate to decide. The Purple Penguin By Ashley Age 9 Jefferson Hills, PA There once lived a purple penguin named Panellapie Penguin. She was born the normal color penguins had, but she decided to be different. She went to the Penguin Paint Store, and looked at all the colors about 1 million times until she found her favorite color, purple. She walked home with the bucket of paint and the money she got back, too. She went into her igloo and made sure her parents weren't home. So… she took a deep breath and jumped right in and out with no problem. She walked over to the mirror and loved what she had done to herself. She was so happy that she went over to her friends' houses and showed them. Even though she liked it, it didn't mean her friends had to like it, and they didn't. All they did was make fun of her and make her feel bad. She was very embarrassed, so embarrassed that she cried all the way home. She was very unhappy, so she went to the park thinking it might cheer her up. And it did! She saw another purple penguin and she was so happy! She walked over and said "Hey! Do you want to be my friend, I'm purple too!" "Awesome" said the other purple penguin. And They Lived Happily Ever After. The Watermonster Amber Age 14 Australia My mother is made of ice and my father is made of fire… Sounds silly, doesn't it? If you were in my world you would understand. My name is Amber and I'm made of wax and my brother is made of wax, too. That's because we are twins. "Amber," a voice calls. That's my mother calling. I hurried over to her, to ask her what she wanted. "I'm giving birth to another baby." How she said it made some of my wax melt a bit. I looked around anxiously. Was anyone watching? "You're having a baby?" I repeated, looking astounded. "Another ice baby," she said cheerfully. "Finally something like me." "What about Dad?" I asked, looking around for him. She suddenly looked sad. "The watermonster destroyed him," she said. "Can water destroy wax?" I asked carefully. "Maybe," she replied, sounding unsure. I heard a few screams. "The watermonster!" cried a boy made out of wood. "Everyone run for cover." "What about the baby?" I asked, panting, The watermonster was coming nearer. "Look after him, will you?" The ice queen handed her second son to Amber. "Run," she cried. "What about you?" I shouted back. "Just run!" my mother replied. I was already at the other end of our crazy, small world. But was it small? Mother reckoned it had more rooms. I watched a few humans run for cover, and I trembled. Did I just hear my mother scream? I watched as the watermonster wrecked a few houses. Tall long buildings were collapsing. I hated watching it. It reminded me of something, which was war. I watched it on the human's TV. I have to leave our small house quickly or it will be too late… Billy Nathan The Poodle By Zach Age 13 Gahanna, OH Billy Nathan was so nice. Billy Nathan gave advice.
