The Year of Miss Agnes is about children in Alaska part of one big classroom who didn’t have a teacher until Miss Agnes came.

When Miss Agnes came the children thought that she wouldn’t like the smell of fish and leave. Miss Agnes said she couldn’t smell fish because she didn’t want the children to feel bad. The children started to like her.

She also took away all the old books in the school and brought new books. She also bought new pencils and made new books for them. She taught the children how to properly draw “o”‘s so they don’t look like a six.

The children loved Miss Agnes.

At the end, Miss Agnes had to go away. Teachers came to the school for only one year. The children were very, very sad. But Miss Agnes came back because she loved the children!

The End

The Rag Doll

There once was a girl named Emily. Emily went to her Auntie’s house. She saw her favorite thing. A rag doll in a pram. She went to the garden with the pram and rag doll. And when it was time to go, she didn’t want to leave the rag doll! And so when they got home, her Auntie had taught her mom how to sew. So her mother gave her a present. And inside the present was her very own rag doll (but no pram)!

The End

Finishing the story “Lion in the Path!” in Stories from Africa.

Sam and Deng were heading to a village on a motorcycle to share with them about Jesus. Suddenly, they spot two full-grown lions on the path. A male and female.

This is how Sophia thinks it will end.

Sam and Deng turn off their motorcycle. Then they go quietly past the lions. The lions notice them, so they turn on the motorcycle and the lions turn to chase them. The lions couldn’t see them so they went back to their den.

Sam and Deng told the village about Jesus.
