Week 19 – Travel Journal

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 2 – A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Once upon a time, a boy named Nathan and his dog were walking by the construction site. Suddenly, the dog leapt into a bucket. Nathan had to follow the dog and so he did .

The dog would not come out. Then the bucket started going and started to move forward. “What was going on?” exclaimed Nathan. They were going up and up and up. Soon the bucket was being dumped into a dump truck, and they were taken off to the dump, to be dumped in the dump. “Oh No!” shouted Nathan. “We’re going to get dumped in the dump.” The dog had fallen asleep and now had woken up because of Nathan’s shout. The dog was scared, for they were up high, very high.

And the dump truck had already reached the dump and they had gotten dumped out into a pile of garbage. “Yuck! This stinks!” yelled Nathan. “We’ve got to get home before mom gets worried.” And they brushed themselves off and went home. Nathan told mom the whole story and she was glad he was safe. She told him never to go to the construction site again and sent him to have a nap with his dog.

Week 24 – Give a Character Advice

Dear Donald Roger Cabot,

You shouldn’t have killed Mr. Kildee’s raccoon. Mr Kildee was so sad that you killed his raccoon. It is not nice to kill raccoons because they might be somebody’s pet. It I were you, I would just leave them alone so Emma Lou wouldn’t be mad at you and Mr. Kildee would still have his pet.

Please be careful what you shoot at. Maybe you should shoot at targets instead.

From A.E.S.

Week 16 – A New Tale

Once upon a time a boy named Nathan wanted to get a dog. It was a sunny day. Nathan had a happy face and was whistling as he walked.

When he arrived at the pet store, he walked in happily. To his surprise everything was out of its cage. The bird had the fish in its claws. And the dogs were chasing the cats.

Nathan asked the storekeeper what was happening. The storekeeper answered him, “I will help you after you help me round up the animals and put them in their cages”.

“OK,” I said. “I will help.”

After they put the animals away in their cages, the store keeper told him what happened. “First a criminal came in and while I wasn’t looking he opened the cages and let the animals out. The animals running around and started chasing each other when you came.”

“I will help you,” I said, “if you let me keep all the animals.”

The storekeeper answered him, “I will let you keep them if you call the police and tell them to catch the criminal.”

“OK,” I said. “I will go call the police right now. While you are gone I will feed the animals.”

After he called the police and the criminal was caught, he helped clean up the mess. He was rich and didn’t care about how much it cost. He bought all the pets and went home happily.

The end.

Week 35 – Free at Last!

He put his hand on Shan’s arm. Slowly they climbed the steps, while Nappus went ahead, holding the torch to light the way.

When they reached the top of the stairs, Shan asked his father, “Are you alright? Did they give you food?”

“Yes, they gave me rotten food and dirty water.”

Lord Weldon asked, “Are you alright?”

Shan replied, “Yes, I’m alright.”

Lord Weldon asked, “What happened to Lionel?”

Shan answered, “I’ll tell you later after we see mother and have a feast!”

The first place they went was mother’s room. When they reached mother’s room, they found her and when she saw her husband she had happy tears! They planned a celebration.

They dressed their father in a purple robe and crown and they had a feast with turkey, cheese and goat meat.

After everyone had left, Shan told his father about how he escaped the castle because Lionel wanted to kill them. If they didn’t leave, they would be killed, so they ran away and went to see King Arthur. King Arthur helped them by sending Sir Garaith to go back with Shan and Magnus to the castle to send Lionel away. Sir Garaith asked Lionel, “Why are you trying to be Lord of Weldon Castle?” Lionel answered, “I want to be Lord of Weldon Castle because I’ll get to be in charge of all the servants, even my own servants.” Sir Garaith told his servants to take Lionel and his men away and put them in King Arthur’s dungeon.

After Shan told Lord Weldon his story, Lord Weldon said, “Let me rest and go see King Arthur when I’m stronger. I need to tell him that I was lost but now I am found and to thank him.”

Lord Weldon also said to Shan, “You were brave. Where is my sword?” Shan replied, “It is in a small box in the hollow tree.” Lord Weldon said to Shan, “Go, grab the sword and give it to me.”

Shan ran into the hollow tree, grabbed the box with the sword in it and ran back to Lord Weldon. And Lord Weldon said, “Kneel.” And Shan kneeled. And Lord Weldon said, “I command you Sir Shan the Knight! I will give you my sword and shield and you may always ride with me when we go hunting.”

Shan said, “You’re actually going to give it to me? And I’m always allowed to ride with you?” His father replied, “Yes, that is true, you have earned it.”

“Thank you father,” said Shan and he hugged his father.

And they all lived happily ever after.

Week 35 – Pickles in a Pickle

Once upon a time, a cat named Pickles got into trouble. When Mrs. Good Kind told him to eat his food he did it, but when she told him not to chase cats he would not listen. He kept doing it over and over again! He did not like the house. He loved the outdoors because he loved chasing cats. One day, Mrs. Good Kind went shopping without Pickles. He liked that because Mrs. Good Kind wasn’t watching him. He could do whatever he wanted, and he didn’t have to stay in the house while she was gone. Pickles kept chasing little cats. When Mrs. Good Kind came back he stopped. But she knew he was chasing cats. So Mrs. Good Kind tied him up because he wasn’t listening to her. But every time she was gone, he kept chasing cats over and over again.

Then Mrs. Good Kind had an idea. She would bring some big alley cats to teach Pickles a lesson. They would chase Pickles and he would not like being chased. So he learned a lesson not to chase little cats because they would not like him chasing them. And so Pickles stopped chasing cats. And when Mrs. Good Kind came back and saw that Pickles was not chasing cats, she was happy.
