My Home

I will tell you about my home.

I live on G**** and L***** Street. I live in the % % on the 3rd floor. My room number is 308. I hear fire engines and police car's sirens all the time. If I don't hear that, well , it's still pretty noisy.

I have to admit, I like to play connect five with my dad or my mom. I beat them a lot. My dad likes to play over and over again until he wins. If I win, I run out of the door of the room and yell "I won!" If my dad loses, he always says "I didn't see." And I would prance out of the room.

My favorite parts of my home is the living room and my room (which is my desk at home). My dad likes to watch television and play ping-pang ball, and get coupons. Okay, back to talking about my desk. My desk is a shade of dark brown. It has four drawers. The left drawer on the top is my toy drawer. The one next to it is my private drawer. And the one under it is my backpack drawer. I put all the backpacks I don't use right now. And the one to its left is my roller skate and safety drawer.

That is all I can think of today. Bye!

Dear Santa Claus,

It was hard to make my decision. But, I finally made it. I want the whole colcetion of the Secrets of Droon Books except for number one and super edition number one because I already have those. Please put my gift in the stocking.

Sincerely,

A.T

The Book Series That I Like

My favorite book series are: A-Z Mysteries, Encyclopedia Brown books, The Secrets of Droon, Bailey School Kids, The Boxcar Children and Goosebumps.

My favorite book from the A-Z Mysteries book was The Talking T-Rex. Someone stole Jud's money he raised! I didn't read all of it. I only read to number twelve, chapter four.

I didn't read all of The Bailey School Kids except so far, my favorite one was: Sea Serpents Don't Juggle Water Ballons. Melody and Lisa think Eddie's math tutor is a sea serpent!

I don't know about The Boxcar Children and Goosebumps.

Happy Reading!

P.S.- I love to read!!!

The Soldier Meets His Horse

This is a short story about a soldier who sees a horse. Once, a soldier went inside the forest and saw a horse behind a tree. Since the soldier didn't have a horse, he decided he should get one. So he talked to the horse in a soothing voice and he and the horse galloped off.

Halloween Poem II

It's Halloween,
Beneath the gray clouds,
There's a big crowd!
And what was the crowd doing?
My, my, they are trick-or treating!
After they finish doing tricks,
They do the eating!
Tricks,
Treats,
Oh,
Whatever!
At least,
They have a hapy Halloween!

The Abby and the Twenty-six Witches ---- a Story Retold

Once upon a time, on clear full moons, twenty-six witches flew on their brooms gliding high over the village making horrible sounds. The village people wanted to see the full moon, but they couldn't, and they hid under their beds. But, on rainy full moons, the witches did not come.

One night, an old woman and her husband couldn't stand it, suffering under their beds. They went to see the Abby. The old woman told the Abby, "Can you get rid of the witches?" The Abby nodded his head and replied, "I'll try."

The Abby held a meeting of the village. He thought for a moment and asked for twenty-five of the bravest men in the village to get their white robes and keep them in a tight clay pot, and wear some rain coats on October 31st.

When October 31st came, the Abby met the men at the entrance of the mountains. They all wore black raincoats and they carried their clay pots with their robes inside. The Abby and the brave men hiked up and down mountains and hills but they finally got to the witches' cave. (Some say the Abby looked scared in the front.)

The Abby and the twenty-five men heard wicked laughter from inside the cave. Many men shivered. The Abby explained he would go in first and if he whistled once, they will put on the white robes in the clay pots. If he whistled twice, that means they run into the room and grab a witch and dance.

The Abby set his plan to work. He walked into the cave wearing his dry, white robe. One of the witches asked, "Are you a witch?" The Abby said, as he tried to sound like a witch, "Yes, I am!" Another witch asked, "how did you get here without getting wet?" "I walked between the raindrops!" he announced, "and I will make twenty-six men, including me, dance with you." He whistled once, and whistled twice, and twenty-five men ran into the room in their white robes and grabbed a witch and the Abby grabbed a witch himself.

They all danced for a while and the witches cried out, "I haven't danced in twenty-six years!" Then they had a big feast. The Abby and twenty-five men announced, "We will teach you how to dance between the raindrops," and they all grabbed a witch again and led them outside the cave. The Abby and the men let go of the witches and they began to shrink. "You tricked us!" the witches shrieked. And the witches were never heard from again.

Now on full moon nights, people can go out and enjoy the Moon.

Halloween Poem

Once I saw three ghosts sitting on posts,
Eating buttered toasts,
Dripping down their chins,
Getting sticky on their fins,
Sticky,
Sticky,
Sticky,
Sticky,
What slobs!
