Ice
by J. F. Shores
Alex knew he wasn't supposed to go play by the river,
especially when it was freezing. He had gone to play in the snow in his
backyard but was bored, so he decided to play down by the river. He
thought it would be okay, just this once.
Alex walked down to the riverside, but walked too far in.
He fell through the ice and landed in the freezing cold water. Alex know
knew why his mom told him never to go by the river. He was so cold, he
thought he wouldn't live much longer.
He thought about giving up, when a female mountain guide
came running past with her dog who was tied to her with a piece of very
strong climbing rope. She saw Alex struggling in the water, took the rope
off her dog, made a lasso out of it and threw it around Alex's waist.
Carefully, she pulled Alex out of the icy waters, saving his life.
Alex never went down to the river to play again.
Vending Problem
by James Dalgleish
There were two dogs named Einstein Jr. and Fang. Einstein
Jr. created two monsters, The Evil Vending Man and the Evil Math Problem.
Einstein Jr. also made a potion that made evil villains turn into good
people. Unfortunately, the potion did not work. Instead it reversed and
made villains worse. The villains began to destroy buildings.
The two evil monsters found each other and decided to
build a big and powerful robot named Vending Problem who would make the
world come to an end. Einstein Jr and Fang knew they had to stop this
robot. They headed off to New York, where the villains lived, but in order
to have power, they had to complete some tasks. The first task was to go
to the Warlock of the Woods, who told them that they would get a sword,
helmet, shield and armor. They then set out to get the golden coin of
China. They gave it to Lee Chang, who let them past.
The second task was to get an ostrich egg for the dwarf
Warf D for his breakfast. They got the egg. By now Einstein Jr. and Fang
were getting tired from all this walking, so they took a plane to New York
and destroyed Vending Problem by throwing the sword at the bulb. Vending
Problem died.
Dragon
by Jeffrey L.
One day, a dragon was in a cave. It had no food to eat in
the cave. A tiger came and said, "Do you have food in the cave?"
"No. No food. I want food, food, food!"
One day later, the dragon called, "I am so hungry, I
need food. I have had no food for 3 days."
The dragon and the tiger left to walk in the desert where
they found a fairy. They begged the fairy for some food.
"I can get you a big, big, mountain of food,"
said the fairy.
"Is that true?"
"Yes, of course, I am a fairy. Is that all you
need?"
"Yes!"
"Go back to your cave and you will find a big, big
mountain of food in there.
The dragon said, "Let's go back to the cave and get
some food." When they got back to the cave, he said, "Wow, that
is a lot of food. But we can eat it all."
The Boy Who Lived in the Closet
by Julie Sikora
Once there was a little boy and he lived with his aunt,
uncle and cousin, named Gary. After a horrible day of cleaning toilets,
Aunt Matilda and Uncle Fred shoved Gary into his closet room. Gary thought
his room was very nice and cozy. Aunt Matilda, Uncle Fred and Sam all
thought the room was tiny, but Gary didn't care what they thought.
The next day was Sam's birthday, same with Gary's
birthday. Sam got up very early that morning and was jumping on the
stairs. Gary got up and walked into the living room into a pile of
presents. Gary heard Sam saying, "How many presents are there this
year?"
Uncle Fred replied, "150."
"But that's as much as I got last year!"
"We'll get you one at the toy shop, ok?" said
Aunt Matilda.
"O.K." Sam shouted. Gary came too. Gary stared
at all the toys he would want to get, but he would only get one gift, if
he moved out, which was impossible. It was time to go. When they got home,
Gary had showers to clean, but the doorbell rang. It was a very tall man
and he was looking for Gary. "Happy Birthday, Gary," the man
said. Uncle Fred and Aunt Matilda backed away.. The man asked Gary if he
would like to go to wizard school. Gary said, "Only if Uncle Fred and
Aunt Matilda will let me go."
"Sorry, we don't believe in magic," they said.
"I guess that means a yes," The tall man and
Gary walked out the door and introduced themselves. The tall man said,
"It must be horrible living with those people."
"Oh, yes," Gary replied. "So what's your
name?"
"Hagrid," the tall man answered.
"My name is..."
"Well, everyone knows your name is Gary,"
interrupted Hagrid. "We better go get your supplies for wizard
school. You can go into the wand shop," said Hagrid. Gary went into
the wand shop. No one was there, then a head popped out from a corner.
"Oh, I've been expecting you, Gary," said the
man. "Try this wand. Just give it a wave." Crash, all the books
fell down off the shelves. "Well, definitely not this one! Try
this..." Crash... again, this time a light. "Try this one. Well,
it's perfect," said the man. Hagrid bought Gary all the rest of his
wizard's supplies. He even got an owl for Gary's birthday. Hagrid took
Gary to the train station 9, and then he had to go.
"You have to go to platform 9 3/4 ."
"O.K.," Gary replied. Gary saw some people
running through the wall. Maybe they knew where that platform was. Gary
asked a woman, "Do you know where platform 9 3/4 is?"
"Run right through this wall 9-10. If you're a bit
nervous, then try to run." Gary found a spot on the bus.
A boy asked if he could sit beside Gary. He replied,
"Yes." They were almost there and for the remainder of the
journey, they had to take a boat. They picked someone to go on the boat
with them. Gary, and his new friend, Charlie, and a teacher came on with
everyone else.
The Mygzogians
by James Dalgleish
January 21, 2002-02-28
One blue day on the planet Zog, Wally and Kinarf were walking side by side. They were walking along, swinging their poking sticks and discussing life. Wally had known Kinarf for a long time. Kinarf was his friend’s father’s sister’s mother’s ugly roommate.
All of a sudden one of Wally’s eyes swivelled around and waved wildly at something flying in the air. "Kinarf!" Wally said, "have a look at what’s up in the sky!" Kinarf waved all six of his eyes in the air, and saw a blue triangle going as fast as a bullet towards Wally. As Kinarf looked up in the air, the blue triangle hit him thwack in his big head. Four of his eyes bulged out, fell out and shattered. Poor
Kinarf. Wally poked Kinarf with his poking sticks. They were very useful when things fell out of the sky and hit them. This happened a lot because Zog no longer had an ozone layer.
"Come on Wally, put your tongue back in your head and wake up." Wally slowly turned his head inside out and four more eyes popped out. Wally said, "Please don’t do that right in from of me, go into the pit to do that". Poor Kinarf rubbed his big head, rattled his six eyes and Wally poked him again. Kinarf finally woke up.
"Come on Kinarf; let’s go see what this is." Wally slumped over to the triangle and pressed a tiny red button on the outside. The blue triangle opened, and inside another triangle, smaller than the first appeared, in all, there were 17 triangles inside. In the 17th triangle there was a little tiny note that said Dear Planet X, McDonald’s prices are lower than ever. Only 3.49 for two-cheeseburger meal. " Huh? Not 3.4 that’s a really good price," said Wally. "We should go check out this two cheeseburger deal".
Kinarf said, "Let's go in the transporter and
check this out." Kinarf and Wally both pulled their pull starts on the side of their bellies and hollered, "Beam us up, Snotty!" and poof, they disappeared.
And poof they appeared before a funny looking creature. "Look at those eyes," said
Kinarf. "It only has two and it’s a weird pinkish colour." But they recognized the McDonalds arches on the
creature's hat, so they were sure they were in the right place.
"We’ll have the two cheeseburger meal," Kinarf and Wally said at the same time. All of a sudden the meal appeared – two big brown lumps. "Yech," said Kinarf and Wally, "This looks awful and it tastes worse than it looks. Let’s get out of here. Let’s go home and eat at McRonalds where the food is blue." The both pulled their pull starts and disappeared back home.
The Haunted Car
by Jillian Danko
Vroom Vroom. I woke to the sound of an engine going. I went downstairs to see what was happening. I was very surprised to see our car in the living room. I sprinted up the stairs into my parent’s room and yelled. "The car is in the living room!"
" Go back to sleep Annie. It’s six in the morning and you were probably dreaming," her dad muttered.
After convincing her parents into coming downstairs, she said, "I told you that the car was in the living room!
How did it get in here?" Annie asked. They looked around; nothing had changed except now there was a little hole in the wall big enough to fit a mouse.
Annie’s parents ran to the phone and called the police. "Help, help, our car is in the living room!" my dad bellowed into the phone.
"We’re coming right over" the police said in a stern voice.
Soon after they had called, 10 police cars had turned up on their driveway. Annie’s parents explained to the policemen that nothing was
different from last night, except for a tiny hole in the wall big enough to fit a mouse in it.
After two hours of investigating, the police started to hear moaning sounds. They searched all over following the sound and suddenly, right in front of their faces, a ghost appeared.
"Aaahhhhhh…a ghost," screamed Annie.
"Hello," muttered the ghost. "I think you need some help."
"But you are a ghost, you are supposed to be scary, haunt houses, and stuff like that!" Annie exclaimed.
"But I’m not an ordinary ghost. I’m the ghost of a leprechaun and I just played a trick on you because you ran out of treats on Halloween night. But since I am a nice ghost, I can get you out of this mess."
So he did. The ghost took out his laser beam and aimed it at the car. The car turned as small as a hot wheels car. The ghost shrunk with it and drove it out of the hole that was only big enough for a mouse to fit through. He made the car normal size again and never in their whole entire life did their car turn up in their living room again.
The Cookie Baking Ghost
Jennifer Ristic
It was late Saturday night and Tom was having trouble sleeping again. Everyone was asleep and it was nearly midnight. As Tom lay awake thinking about the next day, he heard the clock strike midnight. Just as the clock fell silent, Tom smelled the aroma of sugar burning! So Tom did the only sensible thing to do.
"Mmmm cookies and milk," thought Tom as he silently grabbed his baseball bat and crept downstairs.
Approaching the kitchen cautiously, Tom heard whispering. Shaking, he peeked into the kitchen. He gasped! There in the kitchen was a long floating hand dripping
with flour and egg yolk! It was holding a small rolling pin and beside it floating in mid-air, was a can of milk!
Tom accidentally dropped his baseball bat with a clatter!
"Oh my", he heard someone say.
"What are you?" asked Tom startled.
"I am a ghost," said the
voice; "What are you?"
"I am a boy," said Tom. "But it is sort of hard to talk to someone you can’t see. Could you make yourself visible please?"
"I’ll see what I can do," said the ghost throwing the rolling pin and milk towards the table. Two flashes of red, blue and green light flashed and magically a young girl appeared.
Tom cautiously tip- toed into the kitchen. "What are you baking?" he asked nervously
eyeing the rolling pin. "I am baking cookies, as I am cursed to do every Saturday night," she sighed through her tears.
"Could you tell me how you became cursed anyway?" questioned Tom.
"Sure, I could tell you while I’m baking." The ghost suddenly shrieked scaring Tom.
"When I was alive," the ghost whispered rather loudly, "my mother and I baked the best cookies in all of our village. Then one day a boy named Carlos moved into our village and started boasting that he could make the best cookies. Eventually I heard about it. So I challenged him to a cookie baking contest. Every Sunday after church, Carlos and I would bring our cookies to the pope and each time he tasted them he would
say ' Sorry Kara but Carlos’ cookies are just lighter and fluffier than yours.'
I kept baking cookies and baking and baking, trying to have lighter cookies, but one day the
oven door exploded killing me. Now I am cursed to bake cookies every Saturday for my jealousy. The sad part is now I know how to make really light, fluffy cookies. I call them cloud cookies, but no one ever got to taste them because when I open the
oven, they float out through the roof." She looked at her timer.
"I have an idea," exclaimed Tom, "I’ll be right back." In a flash he dashed back downstairs.
Tom put his baseball bat away and took out his catcher’s mitt. It felt like he was flying back down the stairs.
"What do you have that for?" shrieked the ghost when Tom entered the kitchen, eyeing the mitt.
"When you open the oven, I can catch a cookie to taste. Then you’ll be free of your curse," Tom hurriedly explained.
"Good idea," exclaimed the
ghost.
"Get ready, here come the cookies!" she shouted as she opened the
oven. As the first few came out, Tom grabbed one with his catcher’s mitt. In his excitement he grabbed one with his bare hand, so he could take a bite of it.
"YEOWW!" he screeched as it burned his hand.
"Silly fool boy!" shrilled the ghost. "Don’t eat them yet, wait until they cool. Here comes the next batch of cookies!" she said as she opened the oven door again.
This time when Tom caught a cookie, he waited a few minutes. Then he touched it carefully with one finger. It was cool. He quickly gulped it up. Suddenly, Tom started to float into the air, and float above the ground! But Tom didn’t care, the cookies tasted great! "These cookies are … HUH," he said astonished.
The ghost started to disappear. "Thank you," whispered the ghost, "I’ll never forget what you did for me…" With that, she disappeared.
Now, Tom isn’t afraid of dying, he knows what will be waiting for him on the other side. Cloud Cookies! But what is really weird is whenever he dreams about them he wakes up floating a foot above his bed! But he doesn’t care. He knows that it will be a way for him to remember the great Cloud Cookies!
The
Haunted Cemetery
by Jessica Kinal
Once upon a
dreary midnight, in the clear night of a black sky, a Zombie raised from
the dead. His name was Fred. Fred was a very happy Zombie. He decided to
visit his mom. When Fred got there, he rang the doorbell and put on a
large grin on his face. With his large grin, he he hugged his mom. She
looked at him and screamed. She fainted and fell with a big thump. Fred
looked down and felt sad, thinking he'd killed her. Fred raced back to the
cemetery.
Fred found a
mirror on one of the graves. He looked in it and with surprise, he saw he
was a skinny skeleton wrapped in Saran wrap. Fred went ballistic. He
ran around the cemetery screaming, when suddenly someone came in. He
paused, thinking about where to hide. But it was too late. The person saw
him, screamed and ran away. That person told everyone that the cemetery
was haunted. While the Zombie lived in the cemetery, it was considered a
haunted graveyard. Would you like to visit my cemetery?
Elf's
Animation
by Jay Vetsch
One night, the
elf was drawing and making an animated cartoon. This is how the story
goes. One day, a deformed door-to-door salesman was trying to sell some
state of the art robots. First he went to the pumpkin patch and saw a
pumpkin. So the salesman asked the pumpkin if he wanted to buy a robot to
help him with daily chores.
The pumpkin
said, "Are you crazy? Pumpkins don't need robots; they need people to
help them grow properly. Then they carve scary pictures on us so we scare
little kids away."
"OK,"
said the salesman, "but you don't what you're missing."
So the salesman
went off to find someone who wanted to buy a robot. The net stop was the
graveyard. When he got there, he found a skeleton. He asked the skeleton
if he would like to buy a robot.
The skeleton
said, "Of course not! All a robot would do is get in my way of
haunting people." So he went off to the Red Piper's Cabin in search
of someone who would buy a robot. At the Pied Pipers Cabin, the salesman
was asked to come in and have some coffee.
The salesman
said, "Sure. then I can show you our latest product." When the
salesman was showing him the robots, the Pied Piper's Rottweiler came in
and started to bark and tried to bite the robot's legs off, because he
didn't like the robot. After the Pied Piper settled his dog down, he said,
"Even though I like the robot, I could never buy it because my dog
would never learn to like it." So the salesman went home after a long
day of trying to sell robots to people.
In the morning,
the salesman went to church and unfortunately brought his robots with him.
When he was in church he saw the Pied Piper, his rottweiler, the skeleton
and the pumpkin. When the robots saw these four characters, they went
crazy because nobody wanted to buy them. They went so crazy, that they
started to hurt people. They hurt the Pied Piper, the pumpkin, the
skeleton, the rottweiler and even the salesman.
Suddenly a
wizard entered the church and said, "Oh my gosh. Evil robots are
hurting everyone. I must do something drastic, so I will use my most
powerful spell. Hocus Pocus, Diddly Darn, make these robots turn into
yarn."
And that's
exactly what happened.
"And
now," said the wizard, "I will make it so this never happened.
Clidus bekam bat-like dapened, make it so this never happened."
Poof! And
that's the elf's animated cartoon story.

The
Ghosts Return
by
Jaclyn Wabisca
“I
dare you to go to the old mansion and stay in there for 2 hours, or
else.” Jimmy threatened the
gang consisting of Howie, Jen, Jay, and Lil.
“You’re
on,” Howie said bravely.
“Good,
you better take some pictures to prove that you actually went there,”
Jimmy said shoving a camera into Howie’s hands.
Just then the bell rang to go home for the weekend.
“Well,”
Jen said, “It looks like we have a big job to do this weekend.”
“Yep,”
Howie said.
“Well,
let's go to the tree house and plan our weekend,” Jay said.
So the gang walked down the road to the tree house in Jay’s back
yard.
“…So
we meet here on Saturday morning,” Howie said.
“Yahh…but
what will I tell my mom?” asked Jen.
“Well…
you could tell her that you are going for a hike with us,” Howie
replied.
On
Saturday morning Jen, Jay, and Lil got out of their houses so that they
could go to the mansion. “Ok,”
Jay replied, “Do we have everything?”
“Check,
check, check, and … hey, where is Howie?” Jen asked as she went down
the checklist.
“Yahh,
he was the one who got us in this,” Jay said.
“Let’s
go look for him at his house,” Lil suggested.
“All
right,” Jay said.
Bing
bong went Howie’s doorbell. Then
Howie’s mom opened the door. “Oh
hi,” said Howie’s mom. “Howie is upstairs sleeping.
How come you guys are here?”
“Oh,
we’re here because we’re going on a hike today,” Lil said plainly.
“All
right you can go and wake Howie up,” Howie’s mom replied.
So Lil, Jay, and Jen went up to Howie’s room.
Jay knocked on the door then went in.
“Hey, what are you guys doing here?” Howie asked.
“We’re
coming to get you,” Jen said.
“Yahh,”
Lil added, “Cause you’re the one who got us into this mess.”
“All
right, all right,” Howie said getting out of his bed. “ Can you guys leave me alone while I change?” Howie
added.
“Ok,”
replied the gang. So when
Howie was finally done changing the gang set off for the mansion.
“Ok
here we are,” Lil said.
“I
don’t feel good,” Howie complained.
“Oww
you’re a chicken,” Jay said.
“Boock,
boock, boock, boock,” Jen teased with her hands in her armpits.
“Why
that is not funny,” Howie said crossing his arms.
“Hey
it was just a joke,” Jay said sarcastically.
“Ok
enough with the fighting,” Lil said.
“Yahhh.
It is time to face our fear,” Jen chimed in.
“All
right,” Howie and Jay said together.
Creak
went the door of the so-called “HAUNTED MANSION”.
“Let’s
just take some pictures and get…”
Slam
went the door, before Howie could finish.
Lil tried to get the door open but it wouldn’t budge.
“Oh great, we’re stuck in a mansion that is supposed to be
haunted,” Jen complained.
“Well
better get us out,” Jay said sitting on a chair. At that moment the gang fell onto the cold ground.
“Awww,”
Lil said, “I landed on something cold but..”
“Hi
you guys<” a vices said.
“Ahhhhh,”
the gang hollered.
Jay
tried to get up but something held him down.
“What the heck?” Jay said in surprise.
“I
don’t know,” said another voice.
”You
stop that,” said the first voice. A
ghost like figure stepped into view.
“Hi
my name is Frankey and my brother, the other guy, is named Seanow.”
“Hi,
my name is Lil, this is Howie, Jen, and Jay,” Lil said.
At
that moment Howie started taking pictures of the room.
“There I just got 10 pictures.
I’ll just get 14 more pictures and then we’re out of here,”
Howie said.
“Well
the problem is you have to find your way out of this maze,” Frankey
replied.
“Just
great,” Jen complained.
“Well
lets get started,” Jay said getting up.
“All
right,” Jen said with a positive attitude.
So the gang set off into the maze.
“Hey
weren’t we here already?” Jay pointed out.
“Well,
yah, I think we were,” Lil said.
“I
don’t know,” Howie said, “I have been too busy taking pictures, I
only have to take 6 more.”
“That’s
great,” Lil said sarcastically.
“Hey
Frankey,” Jen said, “can you go through walls?”
“Yaah,”
the rest of the gang said.
“Well
I guess I could,” Frankey replied.
“Well
get started,” the gang shouted.
“All
right, all right,” Frankey said. 'Wush,'
and Frankey was through the wall. The
gang waited in silence.
“Well
there are some stairs over there,” Frankey said pointing through the
walls. The gang started
running around the maze then finally, after half an hour, they found the
stairs.
“Hey,
we’re here,” Lil and Jen said together.
“And
I only have two more pictures,” Howie said. “Now one more.”
“That’s
good,” Jay said sarcastically.
“Well
what are we waiting for?” Lil asked.
So the gang started to climb the steep steps.
Just then Jen slipped.
“Aww,”
Jen said starting to cry.
“What
hurts?” Lil asked.
“My
leg,” Jen said through sobs.
“We’ll
carry you home,” Jay suggested.
“All
right,” Jen said. So Howie,
Lil, Jay and Frankey picked Jen up. So
when the gang and Frankey got to the top of the stairs they rejoiced.
“All
right we made it,” Jay said in relief.
“Yahh
but we have to go all the way home,” Lil pointed out.
“And
what will my mom say when she sees my leg like this. And what will my excuse be?” Jen asked.
“You
could say you fell on the hike,” Howie said.
“But
that would be lying,” Jay said. “You
told your parents that you went on a hike but you actually came here”.
At that moment Howie just took a picture of the gang.
Frankey
said in amazement, “Yahh!”
Jen
said “And we could also tell the truth."
“All
right,” said the rest of the gang.
“I’ll
help you carry Jen home,” Frankey said.
Lil
said, “All right but stay invisible.”
“You
can stay invisible can’t you?” Howie asked.
“Yes
I can,” Frankey replied. So the gang and Frankey set off for Jen's
house.
“Hey
Mom,” Jen said as they entered the house.
“Back
so soon? You were only gone 2
hours,” Jen's mom said coming out of the kitchen.
“Oh my. Jen what
happened to your leg?”
“Well
you see, Mom, we didn’t actually go for a hike,” Jen said.
“Well
what did you do instead?” Jen's mom asked hesitating.
“Well,”
There was a pause, “We actually went to that old mansion,” Lil
replied.
“Well
I’d better call your moms.” No
one said a thing, because they were too scared to say a single thing.
So when everybody’s moms were at Jen's house it was a different
story.
“We
are not mad at you because it is natural for kids to go to that old
mansion,” Lil's mom said.
“Because
we all did,” Howie's mom said.
“You
mean you are not going to ground us or anything?” Jay asked.
“No,
we are doing nothing of the sort,” Jay's mom said.
“All
right,” Lil said.
“Well
we took some pictures because Jimmy dared us to. So can we get the pictures developed?” Howie asked.
“So
Jimmy dared you,” Jen's mom said.
“Yahh,”
the gang replied. Jen's mom
went into the kitchen and called Jimmy’s mom.
“Well,
Jimmy is grounded,” Jen's mom said.
“Yess,”
Jay said in relief.
“But
we are going to take Jen to the doctors right now, and Howie, Jay and Lil
are going with me to get the pictures developed,” Jay's mom said.
“All
right,” said the gang.
So
when Jen got back from the doctor's, it turned out she did break her leg.
The whole gang got their own copies of the pictures.
“Hey, I didn’t take too bad of pictures,” Howie said.
“No,
you didn’t,” Lil said.
“I’m
never going up there again,” Jen said.
Hades
and the Secret Passageway
by
Josh Littke
Once
upon a time, there was a devil named Hades.
He had a pet named Fluffy. Fluffy
was a three-headed hellhound. One
day, Hades took Fluffy for a walk. While
they were walking, they found an underground passageway.
They went into this passageway and found some treasure.
Every day, Hades would go back to the passageway and take some more
of the treasure.
One
week later, they went back and the passageway was gone! They looked and
looked, but they couldn’t find it. Just when they were about to give up,
they found the passageway. This
time it didn’t contain treasure; it contained half of a treasure map.
They took the map home to study.
The next day they went back, but found nothing.
One
week later, when Hades went back to the passageway, it was gone (again)!
He looked and looked, and finally found it.
In the passageway, Hades found the other half of the treasure map.
When he got home he put the pieces together.
The
map said, “First you found treasure, and now you’ve found the map. But
the best treasures of them all are friendship and love.”
Hades
looked at this and said, “Friendship and love are the best treasures.”
So from that day on, Hades never mean again.

were trying to go to the Forbidden Forest weren’t you?” yelled
Courtney’s mom. “How many
times do I have to tell you that you are not allowed to go to the
Forbidden Forest!”
Courtney
aged 12 and her sister Brittany aged 14 had been trying to go to the
mythical Forbidden Forest ever since they had found out that the gypsies,
elves, fairies, nymphs, nyads, trolls, goblins, sprites gnomes and the
supernatural lived in it. But
when their parents found out what they were doing that they forbade
Courtney and Brittany to ever go in there.
That night
Brittany crept over to Courtney’s room and woke her up,
“Psst Courtney you awake?” she nearly yelled in Courtney’s
ear.
“Yes,”
Courtney mumbled. “But be a little more quiet if you don’t want to
wake mum up!”
Quickly
and quietly Courtney and Brittany got dressed, put their coats on and
tiptoed outside and on to the sidewalk.
“Where
are we going? asked Courtney.
“Well if
mother won’t let us go to the Forbidden Forest in the day, we’ll go at
night,” answered Brittany.
When
Courtney and Brittany entered the Forbidden Forest something scurried past
them. “What was that?”
Brittany said nervously.
“Well,”
said Courtney, “I have a book about fairies etc. and that was a Nyad,
not dangerous at all.”
After a
while they saw an opening in the trees.
In the opening there was a gypsy caravan.
“Let’s
go and see the gypsy inside,” Courtney said.
Inside the
caravan the gypsy was looking into her crystal ball.
“Hi,
gypsy. Could you read our
palms?” said both Courtney
and Brittany.
“Sure,”
the gypsy said, sounding a bit annoyed.
“Me
first,” Brittany said first.
“Hmmmm,”
the gypsy said staring at Brittany’s palm, “I see something not very
good in the future for you and you like books.”
“That’s
very interesting,” said Brittany.
“My turn,”
Courtney said very excited.
“Oh your
palm is very dear,” said the gypsy more interested.
“It shows you and Brittany going to the library, and looking at a
book in the future.”
“That’s
not true,” Brittany called out. “We never go to libraries!”
“Do not speak to me like that,” the gypsy cried. “This shall teach
you!”
The gypsy
went over to the cupboard and pulled out a saxophone.
She mumbled, “I place a
curse upon you that will teach you a lesson full of nymphs, fairies and
nyads that will haunt you now and forever.”
The way
the gypsy said it made Courtney and Brittany shiver with fright.
“Now go,”
the gypsy screamed, “go.”
When
Courtney and Brittany headed out the door, immediately a nyad jumped onto
Courtney’s face and she screamed. When they finally managed to get out of the forest, three
elves, two fairies, four nymphs, and five nyads attacked them.
When they got home they crept up to their rooms, put on the pajamas
and went back to bed.
The next
day there was a scream….
“A…A…A
troll attacked me!” gibbered
Courtney.
Then
Brittany came from her room and gibbered, “ A…A… leprechaun came and
attacked me!”
“You
must have been dreaming,” their mother said.
That day
Courtney and Brittany went to the library and looked up curses.
They found only one book. In
the book they looked up gypsy curses.
They found out that they had to say some strange words and the
curse was gone. That day
Courtney and Brittany headed out to the Forbidden Forest.
Epilogue
Well,
after Courtney and Brittany got rid of the curse they found out how to get
rid of gypsies by letting leprechauns loose in her caravan.
So they caught one in the forest and that was the end of the gypsy.
Skeletons
in the Snake Pit
by
Josh Littke
Once upon
a time there were two cowboys. One was named Bob, the other was named
Chris.
One day
when they were riding along they met some Indians named Little Bull and
Big Hawk. They took the cowboys to a snake pit and threw them in. The
snakes gathered around them.
Some
skeletons went between them and the snakes. This saved the cowboys. The
cowboys thanked them and went back to traveling.

by
Joshua Opyr
Thump,
thump. “Mike what’s that?”
“I
don’t know, Josh. Lets go check it out.”
“AAH!!
The evil werewolf is back to get its revenge! Mike what should we do?”
“Let’s
try to sprint to our bikes. On the count of three. One, two, three! RUN!
Where should we go Josh?”
“Let’s
try to lose him in the forest Mike.”
“OK.”
“What’s
he doing Mike?”
“He’s
calling for three of his friends Josh. We are doomed Josh!”
“Shh,
Mike. They will hear us.”
“Hey,
Josh and Mike. Can I help you guys?”
“Sure
Tom, how?
“Being
a distraction so we can get away from the four werewolves.”
“What?
No way, you two!”
“Oh
well, you said you would.”
“Nooooo!
Come on Mike.”
“Let’s
go Mike.”
“Oh
ya, let’s go.”
After
half an hour of running from the werewolves Josh said, “I think we lost
them Mike. Mike? Oh great, I lost him and the werewolves. Mike, there you
are. I thought I lost you.”
“No,
but good news. The werewolf fell in the water and went down the
waterfall.”
“Good
job Mike. Let’s head home.”
Four
days later they heard, thump, thump.
“Not
again! Mike that was you doing the thump, thump! I’m going to get
you!”
On
a Halloween Night
By
Julia Lin
I
went out for trick-or-treat every Halloween, it is usually a lot of fun,
but not this year. I
trick-or-treat with 2 friends, Jean and Kim.
We went to a farm for trick-or-treat because lots of people did. We walked through a fence and 10 cows were inside.
We
smiled to them and said “Hi, Cows!” and their eyes turned red!
We ran and passed through a coop where chickens lived.
We took a break and saw a rooster walking back and forth.
But this rooster was very strange so we took a look at him.
We looked at him and saw that he didn’t have feathers!
We ran and saw a little pony.
When it opened its mouth and we saw it had sharp teeth.
We ran again and saw some sheep.
The sheep grew feathers and flew into the sky. We
didn’t stop until we reached the farmer’s house. When the farmer opened the door and…. He didn’t have a
head!
