    • Do you like amusement parks? Well I sure do. To amuse myself I went twice last spring. My most memorable moment was riding on the Caterpillar which is a gigantic rollercoaster high above the ground. When I saw how high the Caterpillar rose into the bright blue sky, I knew it was for me. After waiting in line for thirty minutes I made it to the front where the man measured my height to see if I was tall enough. I gave the man my coins asked for change and jumped on the cart. Tick tick tick the Caterpillar climbed slowly up the tracks. It went so high I could see the parking lot. Boy was I scared. I thought to myself there's no turning back now. People were so scared they screamed as we swiftly zoomed fast fast and faster along the tracks. As quickly as it started the Caterpillar came to a stop. Unfortunately, it was time to pack the car and drive home. That night I dreamt of the wild ride on the Caterpillar. Taking a trip to the amusement park and riding on the Caterpillar was my most memorable moment ever!

    • Kara was almost asleep when she heard a buzz and looked over to see her screen light up. The notification said "You're Invited!". Kara opened the text and saw all the event details. This was going to be so fun! She loved celebrating with her friends, and was especially excited to celebrate her best friend. When she got home from school, Kara asked her mom if they could stop at the mall later to buy something to take to the party. She didn't want to show up empty handed! Her mom said they would have to wait until it wasn't a school day. A few days later, they rushed and got to the mall as soon as it opened so that they could beat the crowds. But when Kara got inside, she wasn't even sure which store she wanted to look in first. She ended up buying something she thought would go with a lot of the clothes Jamie liked. Plus, Jamie had only gotten her ears peirced the month before so she would be excited to add to her new collection.

Below the tallest tree in the forest, sat an injured dragon protecting her nest of eggs. The dragon could not retreat nor fight. It was not the hunter who injured this dragon. That remained to be unknown. Cruelty was not the way of this hunter. Instead of attacking the injured beast, he worked all day repairing the dragon’s wounds. The hunter would spend the next few weeks ensuring no harm came to the dragon or her nest. After the hatching of the eggs, the dragon and her offspring left the forest, returning often to visit the hunter.

    • Throughout the centuries people have explained the rainbow in various ways. Some have accepted it as a miracle without physical explanation. To the Hebrews it was a token that there would be no more universal floods. The Greeks used to imagine that it was a sign from the gods to foretell war or heavy rain. The Norsemen considered the rainbow as a bridge over which the gods passed from earth to their home in the sky. Others have tried to explain the phenomenon physically. Aristotle thought that the rainbow was caused by reflection of the sun's rays by the rain. Since then physicists have found that it is not reflection but refraction by the raindrops which causes the rainbows.

Before she left, she pulled on her coat and boots and told her mom she would be home before the street lights turned on. When she got to the party, she found her friends waiting at the ticket booth, shivering. Kara looked out at the ice and was instantly glad she brought her coat! Once they paid, the employee asked "What size do you need?". Kara sat down to put on her rented footwear. She was glad the blades were sharp, because dull blades could make you slip on the ice when you rounded the rink. Kara and her friends had a blast, and they made sure to sing to Jamie before the night was over.

    • Kara was almost asleep when she heard a buzz and looked over to see her screen light up. The notification said "You're Invited!". Kara opened the text and saw all the event details. This was going to be so fun! She loved celebrating with her friends, and was especially excited to celebrate her best friend. When she got home from school, Kara asked her mom if they could stop at the mall later to buy something to take to the party. She didn't want to show up empty handed! Her mom said they would have to wait until it wasn't a school day. A few days later, they rushed and got to the mall as soon as it opened so that they could beat the crowds. But when Kara got inside, she wasn't even sure which store she wanted to look in first. She ended up buying something she thought would go with a lot of the clothes Jamie liked. Plus, Jamie had only gotten her ears peirced the month before so she would be excited to add to her new collection.

It was a cool day just like that day when she heard a rustling noise that was louder than the faint breeze that was blowing through the trees.

She began to walk away from her tent when she saw something move in the distance and heard the snap of a fallen tree branch. She continued to see what broke the branch. As she was walking alone in the dark with the moon shining above, she saw something large with hair running past her. While she was walking her foot stepped into what seemed like a small depression in the earth when she suddenly saw the shadow of the large creature in the distance. She quickly realized that she had stepped in the large foot-like tracks from the monster.

    • Many complicated ideas about the rainbow have been formed. The difference in the rainbow depends considerably upon the size of the drops and the width of the colored band increases as the size of the drops increases. The actual primary rainbow observed is said to be the effect of super imposition of a number of bows. If the red of the second bow falls upon the green of the first the result is to give a bow with an abnormally wide yellow band since red and green light when mixed form yellow. This is a very common type of bow one showing mainly red and yellow with little or no green or blue.

People look but no one ever finds it. When a man looks for something beyond his reach his friends say he is looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

    • You wish to know all about my grandfather. Well, he is nearly ninety- three years old. He dresses himself in an ancient black frock coat usually minus several buttons yet he still thinks as swiftly as ever. A long flowing beard clings to his chin giving those who observe him a pronounced feeling of the utmost respect. When he speaks his voice is just a bit cracked and quivers a trifle. Twice each day he plays skillfully and with zest upon our small organ. Except in the winter when the ooze or snow or ice prevents, he slowly takes a short walk in the open air each day. We have often urged him to walk more and smoke less but he always answers “banana oil.” Grandfather likes to be modern in his language.

    • Do you like amusement parks? Well I sure do. To amuse myself I went twice last spring. My most memorable moment was riding on the Caterpillar which is a gigantic rollercoaster high above the ground. When I saw how high the Caterpillar rose into the bright blue sky, I knew it was for me. After waiting in line for thirty minutes I made it to the front where the man measured my height to see if I was tall enough. I gave the man my coins asked for change and jumped on the cart. Tick tick tick the Caterpillar climbed slowly up the tracks. It went so high I could see the parking lot. Boy was I scared. I thought to myself there's no turning back now. People were so scared they screamed as we swiftly zoomed fast fast and faster along the tracks. As quickly as it started the Caterpillar came to a stop. Unfortunately, it was time to pack the car and drive home. That night I dreamt of the wild ride on the Caterpillar. Taking a trip to the amusement park and riding on the Caterpillar was my most memorable moment ever!
    • My family and friends were coming to visit for the holiday that occurs every November in the fall. My mom and dad spent all day cooking and cleaning. The food was going to be finished a little after everyone arrived. Everyone was arriving around dusk to celebrate together. Just as everyone arrived, there was heavy rain and lightning. Suddenly everything went dark in the house. When my mom checked the food in the oven, the food had not finished cooking. We got out all of our candles and flashlights then started playing card games as my mom called many restaurants to see if she could order food. We ended up sharing what we were thankful for as we ate pizza together. It was a holiday I will always remember!

    • The morning of the party, Kara checked the ivitation again to make sure she would be at the right place at the right time. She didn't want to show up late! Before she left, she pulled on her coat and boots and told her mom she would be home before the street lights turned on. When she got to the party, she found her friends waiting at the ticket booth, shivering. Kara looked out at the ice and was instantly glad she brought her coat! Once they paid, the employee asked "What size do you need?". Kara sat down to put on her rented footwear. She was glad the blades were sharp, because dull blades could make you slip on the ice when you rounded the rink. Kara and her friends had a blast, and they made sure to sing to Jamie before the night was over.
