When I went to China, I saw pandas, and I ate shrimp. The shrimp was so delicious. I saw the emperor go and move around on a mat attached to four poles carried by four men. The emperor was wearing a beautiful yellow robe and a little special hat that matched his robe. I danced, I went to parties, feasts, and festivals. And when I walked by the food shop I smelled appetizing smells, and my mouth watered. I took a break from my walk and got some food. I ate shrimp,eels,and I drank tea. When I continued on my walk, I heard tons of people talking in Chinese, and I learned some Chinese myself!

Week 19 – Story Starter
Once upon a time there was a girl named Emmalyn who wanted to go to Edmonton to see her grandparents, but her family left without her! It was just an accident, but she hoped her family would notice she was gone and come back to get her! Unfortunately, they did not notice.
Emmalyn waited and waited and waited. She thought, “If only someone could take me there.”
She noticed a goose nearby and the goose understood that Emmalyn wanted to go to Edmonton. So the goose said, “Hop on my back and I will take you to Edmonton!”
So Emmalyn hopped on the goose’ back and it only took two hours to get to Edmonton. When Emmalyn’s family saw her they said, “Emmalyn, why are you outside? We’ve been looking for you!” Emmalyn opened the door and told them about her journey.
The end.
Week 17 – The Big Race
Zach and Josiah were in Kenya when they spotted two elephants! Josiah started running toward the elephants, and Zach followed. Each of them killed one of the elephants by using the guns that they had brought with them from Calgary.
Josiah said, “Let’s see who can eat their elephant the fastest.”
Zach said, “OK, let’s do it!”
Josiah and Zach started eating. They ate and they ate and they ate! Zach began to get full and started slowing down. Josiah had already finished half of his elephant but Zach had only eaten a quarter of his elephant. But they continued on and each ate another quarter. Then Zach ate another quarter and looked at Josiah’s elephant. Josiah was already done!
Zach said to Josiah, “you win.”
Josiah said, “Thank you!”
Zach still finished his elephant. Then they both went to find a drink of water and a place to rest after such a big race.
The end.
