Secret Title

Meredith Fischer, Age 8
St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School

Long ago . . . An old, weak lady loved the water. In fact, whenever people saw her, her pruny body was in the water. People were starting to get mysterious and many rumors were said. She heard the rumors and disliked them. She was so upset, she decided to swim to another country. Halfway through her journey, she became tired. There would be almost two days until there would be a good place to rest. So she closed her eyes and sank . . .

She woke up after one hundred years. Weak, she swam to another, and when she got there, her secret was told . . .

How did this happen? Wasn’t loving the water a good thing? What was next for the lady?

The last time anyone ever saw the lady was when she knew her secret was told. The next day, everyone was searching for her. She wasn’t found.

Designer Dilemma

Chapter One

Meredith sewed the last purple flower on the blue, silky, layered dress. “Done!” She had just finished the last dress for her collection that she would wear in the fashion contest. Her six-year-old sister Linda stomped up the stairs. “Be quiet!” she grumbled and hopped to her room. Meredith sighed, looked at her dress, and smiled to congratulate herself. When she woke up, she gradually got up from the floor next to the empty mannequin. What? she thought. She scavenged for her designs: none. She grabbed her jean jacket, and then her holographic webcam started to ring. She pressed the button on her web bzzzz. It was a message from her friend telling her she was competing in a fashion contest. It started to rain. She ran to the indoor contest. She was halfway through the contest when a black masked girl came out wearing Meredith’s collection!

Ode to a Waterfall

Falling
It has no lungs, but has a mighty roar
It never moves, but always runs
Always crashes, but can’t get hurt

A Robot’s Christmas

St. Thomas the Apostle


Chapter 1: Ice Cream Wonder

Robots love ice cream! Their houses are simply just huge ice cream cones, and they suffer being as cold as ice cream in their houses! Instead of snowflakes, it snows mint ice cream and when it rains, it is just melted ice cream. All they eat is ice cream. The most popular flavor is strawberry!

Chapter 2: The Unusual Robot

Tom was as usual as all the other folks in Robotville. His diary: eat ice cream, eat strawberry ice cream, and eat even more strawberry ice cream! One day, Tom changed his schedule. He decided to eat the most hated flavor, vanilla. He had to go on a long trip to get this unique ice cream.

Chapter 3: Africa’s Journey

The closest way to get vanilla was Africa. He went by plane and got the tropical beans! He made vanilla ice cream and loved it! He wanted to bring it to Robotville! So he did. It was the most phenomenal, significant flavor and everyone ate it! Strawberry, though, was forgotten… who will bring it back?


The end!

Pigs

“One pig cake, please, perfectly pink,” said Pig.

“It will be there in two hours,” said Pig II.

Pig hung up the phone. Now the invitations! Pig put a pig sticker on all of the cards. Pig III’s address is 7182. Pig wrote 7182. Then after 7182 was Pig Street. Pig was so distracted she accidentally wrote Wolf Street on all of the cards. Pig looked at the table. Pig took the sack and closed his eyes and wiped off the table with his arm. He wasn’t looking and there were no table scraps and in the sack fell plates. He picked up the phone.

“One Mud ---,” said Pig. He hung up on Fish. He heard the doorbell. There was a green pig cake and a water aquarium at his door.

“No time to fix this. We have five minutes until Pig comes.”

Five minutes later wolves appeared at his door.

“The guests!” cried pig. He shooed the wolves out. He called his pig friends to come over. Two minutes later, the guests arrived, and three minutes later Pig came.

“I’m sorry!” said Pig, “It’s the thought that counts! And, I can see what’s wrong,” said Pig.

The Perfectly Piggy Pink End.

Robber!

St. Thomas the Apostle

Once in 1976, Nancy and Dan were asleep in a big room in their small house. Nancy awoke early so she made her tea. She saw a piece of paper and she liked being clean so she picked it up. It said, “Black robber costume.” She couldn’t explain this, so she called a detective. Nancy had just got her sip of tea while waiting for the detective. “What a racket that dog is making!” said Dan.

Just then, the detectives came. He noticed a hair, fingerprints, and a mask. He shouted, “A robber! You will get $30 tomorrow! Good evening!” the detective shouted.

“Wait! We need it by tonight!” said Nancy.

“Fine! Go get some soup!” he screamed. He handed them $30 then shut the door.

“What a rude man,” said Nancy. Nancy got some soup and cooked it for dinner. The detective came inside their house.

“I know who stole the money! According to DNA he lives on South Street. I called the wife and she gave the address.” said the detective. He was at the grocery market so he got the license plate and followed him. They knocked down food chasing the man. The detective had handcuffs.

“I confess!” said the robber. “I stole the money, because I am a poor beggar so I bought some wood for a house,” he said.

“Well your new house is a jail cell!” said the detective. The end.

Nancy said she felt sorry and he was freed.

What If?

By: Meredith Fischer, 8

What if that glistening snow, glazed across town, was blue?
What if every cold heart didn’t turn true?
What if the smell of peppermint turned into flowers?
What if there were no snow showers?
What if the taste of wet snow tasted like shrimp?
What if there were no Grinches?
What if every snowball turned to a marshmallow? Answer me.
