Beach Bedtime As I stroll along the beach, the gritty sand is in my toes, the salty sea water against my feet, the ocean roar
like the wind on a brisk day. The night sky is like a dim night in a pitch black room, with a baby asleep. The stars are as bright as daylight. The sky is like a blanket of night and the brisk ocean water up to my ankles in happiness as I walk to my cottage. Emma, Age 11, |

Moon Light Bright One night I was walking along the beach. As I walked, my feet squished
through the sand, like I was walking in wet socks. Then all of a sudden the water
started to shimmer like a smooth piece of ice. The moon was bright like the sky,
saying, “I have my eye on you!” Eldon, Age 11, |

A
Story About What I Would Do If I Found $100 One
day, I was walking to get the mail and … I found a $100 dollar bill!!! I ran
inside as fast as I could. When I got in, I said “I found a $100 bill.” My parents said, “What are you going to do with it?” “I am going to buy a puppy!” I answered them. “Let’s
go then,” said my mom. When we got there I saw a puppy. It was love at first sight. It was a Yorkshire Terrier. It was a girl, she was black and light brown.
She was a puppy and she behaved. She cost exactly $100. As soon as we got home, I remembered a name I loved, Nikki! It was a perfect name! My friends loved Nikki and I did too, like I always will! Nora,
Age 8, Fate Fate is
what your future holds for you. Your fate could be a bright as a new star or
as dark as an alleyway at night. Fate can hit you as hard as a comet or land
on you as softly as a beautiful cloud from the heavens. How do you think your
fate will come? Will it come like a plague of bad luck spreading throughout not
only your life, but lives of the ones you love? Or will it come like a flock
of angels from the almighty heavens itself that have come to reward you for all the good you have done? Fate is surprising, but rewarding at times. If you plan out
your future, fate shall reward you with untold riches. Love Love can
get as cruel as the thorns of a new rose, but it can also be as beautiful as the new rose’s fresh petals. Love is like a bomb that could explode at any time. Love is
what will always be there for you even if you don’t want it to. Love will
either fill your heart with happiness or drown your heart in sorrow. Love can
fix you or break you. Love has its good and bad times, but people have good and
bad times too. We don’t give up on our lives just because we have some
bad times, so isn’t that the same for love? Never give up on the one you
love and love will never give up on you. Marissa, Age 11, The Longest Days When I was six and my brother was eight, I stood there as a statue. My
brother and I had a bet and it started over summer vacation; to see who can stay up the longest. At first I was winning. In a couple of days our eyes were
aching and we were about to fall asleep, but we didn’t. To prevent it we
came up with a brilliant idea to put our faces in cold water which would keep us wide awake.
There was no time left. It had been seventy-two hours…three
days when we lost the bet. We both lost and nobody won. It was a draw. We slept until Johnny Test. Then I said who lost and Shawn said, “We didn’t
lose, I was only resting my eyes.” It was a tough competition. It was a tough rivalry. It was tough, we could not lose. It finally ended on a Wednesday at 9:45 P.M.
I said, “We give up!” Anthony, Age 9, |
