Topic: Goats and Mountains Goats are very close but different.

Mountains Goats are very hairy while goats aren’t as hairy. Goats can live in fields or farms. Can you guess where mountain goats live? That’s right! They live in the mountains! Did you know that they are found in no other mountain ranges but the Rocky Mountains?  Mountain goats are humungous compared to regular goats. But only regular goats can be used for meat and milk.

I’m hungry. I’m going to have goat meat and goat milk for lunch! What are you going to have for lunch?

One spring afternoon in April 2007, Rachel Estabrooks was going for a walk in the woods. She spotted a car in a small clearing. It was a Ford Model-T! She was wondering how the car got into the woods.  She decided to take a peek and was happy that the car door was unlocked. She looked in the back seat, the front seats, and the trunk… and the trunk had a key in it!

“I wonder if this key will turn on the car” she mumbled to herself. She picked up the key and walked back to the driver’s seat, and stuck the key into the key hole. It fit! She turned the key and vrmm-brmmm-brmmm! The car turned on!  She sat down in the driver’s seat and started driving the car.

All of a sudden, the muffler started shooting fire! She started going faster and faster and then she started going up like an airplane.  She began to worry, “How am I going to get down? All I did was start the engine! I didn’t think this would happen!”

As she flew over Calgary, she spotted her brother Stephen riding his bike down the street.

“Stephen! Look at me!” He looked all around him but couldn’t find her. He finally looked up and was surprised to see Rachel in a flying car! He yelled at her, “Rachel! Get down here! I want to ride in the flying Model-T, too!”  “I can’t!” she shouted back.

Stephen rode home as fast as he could. He grabbed a super long rope, about 90ft long, and made a lasso with it. He went back to the streets to look for Rachel in the sky. When he finally found her again he used the lasso to catch the car. He pulled the car down, bringing Rachel to safety, and turned off the car.

“You ruined all my fun!” she shouted angrily at Stephen.

“You shouldn’t have been up there. It’s not safe,” he answered kindly.

As the two tired siblings went home they had dinner and Rachel said sorry to Stephen for yelling at him and thanked him for rescuing her. Stephen forgave her. Uncle John and Auntie Jen asked them what they were talking about. Stephen answered, “It’s a long story!”

The end.

Yesterday I was slaying a dragon and told the dragon, “You’re not going to get away with the princess, mean dragon!” and then plllllp!! I was in Egypt! I didn’t know where I was. I had never seen such a hot and sandy place before.  For a moment, I thought that I was at the beach on a vacation! But I looked around and saw on my right were three great pyramids and realized that I was in Egypt. Where did I put my ice packs? I’m sweaty.  I joked. On my left, there was a battle going on with fleets of arrows and spears in the air. There was a lot of screaming and shouting. I wondered if I could help the Egyptians in their battle. As I rode towards them, I thought, “They don’t have any armor.” And then I thought, “Now I get it, they don’t have any armor because it’s so hot!” Then I saw another thing, there are no catapults because they aren’t even invented yet! After a lot of battling and fighting the Egyptians won. So I said, “Yay, I can go home. Wait a second. I can’t go home, I don’t know how.”

I started to look around for a way to go home. Finally I found a red button in the sand and I pressed it. And then, vrmmm vrmmm rummm, I went home.

The end.

You should have seen how my red panda was acting last night. He was on the bottom bed of our bunk doing a hand-stand. Its striped racoon-like tail was up in the air and touching the top bunk. The lights were out and his glowing blue eyes were the only light in the room. He ripped the mattress as if it were a kleenex, using his claws which were like sabre-tooth tusks. He was so tired from all his activities that he finally fell asleep. What a crazy red panda!
