The Story of a Frog
by Yatsiri

Once upon a time lived a mysterious gooey frog called a Yatsiri Daney.  I was just a cute baby when I died.  Some little kid came in my room and wrecklessly turned the heater all the way to 154 degrees Fahrenheit, when it was only suppose to be at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.  I had faith that maybe I would not die, but it happened.  Soon I had a nasty scent.  Someone mysterious soon withdrew me out of my tank with a green little net.  I retraced my memory to remember who had done this to me.  Now I’m buried in the cemetery.

A Day as a Custodian
by Christina

It was a normal day as a custodian.  Kids running down the corridors, because they got cut from a team.  Yep, nothing challenging about this day.  After lunch got started, I saw a kid throw up on the floor.  I tried to get the smell away, but nothing worked.  When lunch was over for that grade no one would sit at that table.  It stunk so bad that I had to go get my breathing mask.  At the end of the day I remembered something.  My witty evil little mother gave me some jam.  It was my last hope.  I ran to the custodian closet and got the jam out of my coat.  I ran back.  I spread some on the spot where the kid threw up.  I waited a little.  Then I took it off.  It…it…it WORKED!  I yelled.  The next day it smelled so nice that every one wanted to sit there.    THE END!!

Butterscotch
by Dakota

Hi I’m Butterscotch.  I’m a lovely year old horse.  My lovely older sister lost our favorite blue ball in the pasture.  I keep on telling her to retrace her steps, but the anticipation is killing her.  I had faith in her but, mean while our owners were coming out in to the pasture.  They called us so I darted to my owner with fantastic love. 

One day I was walking slowly through the cemetery.  I turned around and a dog appeared.  I around and when the dog was not there.  I had faith that I would see it again but I did not know where it was.  So I retraced my steps.  I withdrew my watch so I would know what time it was, because I had to get home at 4:00.  I saw the dog.  I chased it.  I stopped and picked up a paper that was on the ground.  It said if you find this dog reward $100.  My friend and looked all over.  Finally we caught the dog.  I was happy to catch the dog.  The dog did not smell nice.

The Sea Turtle
by Neil

    I’m a sea turtle who swims gracefully. Flipping and turning.  I have a scent that smells good.   I swam over to the green wavy seaweed.  The seaweed tasted great.  A few other turtles and I played in the seaweed.  Danger was near we didn’t see it.  I turned around and chump.  A turtle had got eaten.  The rest of us got away.  I new I could get away.  I looked back, it was like a cemetery with one turtle.

          It was time to lay my eggs.  I went to the same place I was born.  I dug a hole and laid my eggs.  Then I covered them up went back in the water and died.  My baby’s almost all got eaten, except three, they lived.
