Lily

Eloise Cras, age 8

Once a polar bear named Lily went to school at Wayside School. Everyone teased her because she was the only polar bear with white fur at school. She felt bad. But she felt much better after a whisker-licking good meal of dinosaur-shaped mac and cheese. Then she played golf with a light green ball. Light green was her favorite color. Then she went to sleep. The next morning, she went to school. On her way, she met a fox. Her name was Eliza. She was very wise. She told her to just ignore the other bears. And that’s what she did.

Ziggy The Cat

Once, I was in bed and I heard a grrrr prrrrr brrrrr trrrr crrrrrrrr. Then, my sisters Brittney, Bella, and Ella came. They said, “What’s that noise?” I thought hard, really hard.
Then I said, “Let’s tell Mom, she can do something.”

“Then let’s go tell her.”
“What are we waiting for?”

Then we went to our mom’s room. When we explained everything. Our mom went to see what it was. She said it’s only Ziggy the cat. Then we heard clang, clang, clang.

Our mom went to see what was happening. “It’s only Ziggy--he’s fixing the toaster.”

“Tell him to stop.”

“Okay.”

Then, KABOOM SWOSH SHOS!

“We’re in space.”

“I wanna go home! Home to EARTH. Yes, yes, yes, Earth.”

How to Be Silly

In the Winter:
  1. Get a bucket and put in the most snow you can.
  2. Make sure that you dump everything on your head and say, “Oopsies!”

In the Fall:
  1. Stack up the leaves.
  2. Now jump in the leaves and say, “I didn’t mean to!”

In the Summer:
  1. Make sure you are really hot.
  2. Go to the pool and get a bucket.
  3. Put water in the bucket and dump it on your head and say, “Ahhhh, what a nice day!”

Mary the Monkey

By: Eloise Cras, 7

Mary the Monkey was not happy because she couldn’t swing from tree to tree. No matter what she tried, it didn’t work. When she tried, she fell in a pile of leaves. She watched the others, and then she knew she was doing it wrong. She did it with her hand instead of her tail. She used her tail and finally she did it! Mary felt great, proud, and happy all at the same time!
