Tirook

Daniel Han, 9
Logan Elementary

Once there was a poor old grandpa named Tirook, and he only had a little bag that can only hold three dollars. But the grandpa really, really liked toys, and he used his money for buying a three-dollar toy even though his house, rice, and stove were sold for one dollar.


The house was one dollar, the stove was one dollar, the rice was one dollar. But that weird grandpa spent all his money on buying some babyish toys so he became even more poor. He was thinking for a moment and thought why he used his money all on toys. And one night he was sleeping in an old haunted house. And one day the old scary haunted house turned into a brand new castle and the kitchen appeared and 98,756 soldiers were protecting the castle. And the old grandpa who was ninety-nine years old became young. He was twenty-four years old. And he always went to the toy shop in the morning and bought like twenty toys and it cost nine hundred dollars. But he thought that wasn’t much for a twenty-four year old guy. Because he had ninety-six million dollars. Until he became sixty-six years old. He bought 98,765 toys. But he was never poor again.

Spies are Scared of Turtles

Julia Cross, 9
Honey Creek Elementary

I am a turtle. My name is Sheldon Shelly the eighteenth, and you know what cracks me up? Turtles make spies go hysterical. In other words, spies are scared of turtles, and it so happens my neighbor is a spy. So I get my skateboard and zoom to his house, thankfully he never closes the windows. Kaplop!

Oh my gosh! I haven’t been here in sooo long—I forgot there was a counter. Anyway, I made a path through a series of magnifying glasses and boy, did Sherlock get a scare. But he faced his fears and tried to catch me. Luckily, I escaped through the fairy door. I never knew why Sherlock Holmes was scared of such a silly tortoise, but maybe it was because I dressed up as a ghost. But now that I look in the mirror I am kind of creep—I AM SO SCARED.

The Dog Who Wanted to Fly

Once upon a time there was a dog. His name was Brownie. One day he was chasing a butterfly and got lost. He thought about how to get home. One day he took a walk in the park and saw a bird. When Brownie got close, he flew away. That got Brownie an idea . . . he could fly! So he went to bed and dreamed about his idea. When he woke up . . . he grew wings! So he went to the top of a mountain and flew home.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Sam Harrell, 11
Tappan Middle School

It was a normal day. I was eating cereal. I was eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It was so good. It was a Saturday. I fell asleep like normal. When I awoke, I was in a bowl of milk. I was so confused. I looked around, up, and down. I looked beige with no clothes. Was I Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Can’t be. I jumped out. I saw a very large bag of cereal. I jumped into it. I popped out as a bird. I was now even more confused. I was so hungry, I tried to eat like a bird. I went to dive into the water. I turned into a light bulb. Life is crazy, I thought. I was soooo tired I just stayed a light bulb till morning. When I awoke I was a human. I was so happy. I am never eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch again.

Snowflake

Snowflakes are white
They melt when I write
So I write and write,
So it melts and melts
At last no snow is left

Life can go on forever.

Life can go on forever.
Life goes around the
Earth. It loves spinning
with a hulahoop with
life around it. Earth
loves life and life
loves Earth.

Bungee Jumping!

Josiah Atkinson, 9
Bach Elementary School

One day Joe woke up on a Saturday. Suddenly, he was obsessed with bungee jumping.

“Bunnnggee juummmpinnngg!!!!!” he yelled as he jumped out of bed. “Mom! DO WE HAVE A BUNGEE CORD?!?!”

“No, we don’t,” Ms. Frankfur answered.

Then he went downstairs to eat. Bill, Joe’s baby brother, was crying and throwing food at Ms. Frankfur, and it got worse when Joe ran into the dining room yelling, “Bungee jumping!” That made the situation worse. It startled Ms. Frankfur into flinging baby food into Bill’s face, making him SCREAM and throw a fit.

“Oops,” Joe whispered. He grabbed his bacon and eggs. “I’m going upstairs.”

Then he ran upstairs, fearing the chaos behind him.

“Since when did you become OBSESSED with BUNGEE JUMPING?” Joe’s sister, Abby asked.

“I had a dream about how great bungee jumping is,” Joe stated. “I’m going to the store after breakfast.”

Then he was grounded for life, not being able to own a bungee cord. THAT made him return to normal.

Until the next day . . .

“GRAFFITI!”

Oh, and Joe never went to the store.

A Boy Named Cheeta

Daniel Han, 9
Logan Elementary School

In 1992, there was a boy named Cheeta. He farts when he plays football and that gives him more speed and energy. The normal professional football player’s running speed is 30 kph, but Cheeta’s running speed is 200 kph when he farts. And the fart sound is twenty times as loud as a foghorn from a ship. So Cheeta spends his running time in the air instead of running on the ground. That means he is almost flying. So when he flies with the ball, nobody can tackle him. But nobody knows that he is flying because it is only two inches off the ground. Cheeta’s team name was Superfart. And Cheeta’s team won ninety-six to zero. Cheeta’s teammate didn’t even have to throw or catch the ball because Cheeta didn’t pass. But it was still a very good game. Cheeta was on the news. Also, he beat the Guinness World Record. Also he started playing soccer and running marathons. All the games he played until he turned seventy-two. He won 988,617,651 medals. And he melted all the gold medals and sold them. And he became rich. And he also sold his aerodynamic mask.

One day a one-year-old cheetah, Cheeto, signed up for football. So on the first day of training she was ready. But she wasn’t ready. She was always falling and farting A LOT! And all the other players on the other team fainted and Cheeto’s team won! Hooray for Cheeto.

Not a Normal Cheetah

Anna Harrell, 9
Burns Park Elementary

Hello, I am Cheeto. This is my diary. I am not a normal cheetah; I stink. I smell really bad because beans are my favorite food. It was just a normal day . . . when I got a text about a football opening for the Michigan Wolverines! I was soooooooooooo excited! Of course I said yes. The next day, I went to practice. I was different . . . I was the only cheetah. They were all wolverines. We started to practice. No one passed to me! We practiced a lot and the game arrived. We played Michigan State. All the players were tigers. I tooted . . . everyone ran away. They threw the ball to me and I got a touchdown! Our team won! The team cheered for me! I was soo happy! It was the best day ever!

The End!! :)
