From Alaska to Egypt
by Alyssa, third grade writer
Friday, 9:00 in Alaska.
Kelly, the snow leopard, was getting a drink of water Slurp! Slurp! Then the ice began to lift her up. "Ahhh!" Kelly screamed in her loudest voice.
The ice took her all the way to Egypt. Kelly saw people mummifying a dead king. Kelly left that pyramid and went to a princess's pyramid. Kelly saw a bright gold box there, and it said 'Do Not Touch'. Just then the coffin lid opened! Screeech!
Suddenly, the ice broke--Crash!--and Kelly fell! The mummy walked out of the coffin. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Kelly screamed! The screaming hurt the mummy's ears so she covered them up.
The mummy chased Kelly, but then she remembered that mummy's hate screaming! So Kelly screamed in her loudest voice. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The mummy exploded, and kelly knew she was safe at last. Then Kelly thought to herself, "Where should I go next Friday?"
Not So Normal
by Brenda, seventh grade writer
There once was a normal cat named Smokey. One day he went into a nuclear power plant; then, he was able to talk and fly.
Smokey flew around town in his bright blue litter box. He saw this pretty orange girl cat and asked, “Hey, want a ride?”
“Of course. Hi, I’m Delilah,” she said.
“I’m Smokey,” he replied. They flew through the alley where Delilah lived. Delilah was scared. She had never flown on a litter box before; in fact, she never had flown before in her life.
They flew into the local super mart and took all the tuna and milk that they found. They went back to the alley and landed the litter box. They ate all the tuna first, then drank the milk. They ate and drank so much that they both had to go to the bathroom.
“That’s why I fly a litter box,” said Smokey. Smokey and Delilah both did their business and were off.
“It was a wonderful day,” said Delilah. Smokey and Delilah were really tired. Smokey offered Delilah to live with him and his family, and Delilah said yes. When they got home, Smokey’s owners washed Delilah but she didn’t mind. Smokey got washed the next day and wasn’t able to fly again.
Nine weeks later . . . Delilah had four kittens. Aww! The owners gave two away when they were a few months old. Aww!
“Aren’t those our kittens flying?” asked the owner.
