SILAS Silas, his name is red, like apples and strawberries, his name is like sugar, it's like roses growing out of green grass and butterflies with cool patterns. His name is valuable as gold, tall as a mountain, beautiful as a rainbow. The name is like a blanket wrapping around you, it's appealing as ice cream, like the fall. It's like the world all around you, I'd call it one of the best names. Silas. Wednesday, May 25, 2005
WHY THE SNAKE DOESN'T HAVE LEGS Snakes used to be sea creatures with a lot of legs, then Neptune created a tsunami, so powerful, it washed away all the snakes' legs and the snakes landed on the land and the snakes still live the same way, on the land with NO legs. HOW OCTOPUSES GOT THEIR INK Octopuses did not have ink, but one day Bacchus spilled wine on all the octopuses, and Neptune was excited and the waves were strong, so strong they blew the wine into all the octopuses and the wine looked like ink. Whenever the octopus is in danger, wine comes out, but people call it ink. HOW DOGS GOT TAILS A long time ago dogs did not have tails, one day a dog sat on a branch, then the branch got stuck. A week later the stick became a part of the dogs body and got softer and that happenned to all the other dogs too. Monday, May 16, 2005
How old is my canoe? echo: new How should I meet that I know? echo: Bo. What should I do, I just made a mistake? echo: ache. What should I use, I just broke the law? echo: saw. Or should I confess? echo: yes. Should I jump out the window? echo: no. Bye. echo: Bye. APPLAUD FOR SPORTS Applaud for sports like volleyball, soccer, swimming and much more. Applaud for soccer, when you score a goal, volleball, when you get points, swimming that's relaxing and cools you down, football when you score touchdowns, baseball when you hit homeruns, archery when you get bull's-eyes, gymnastics that's fun, challenging and energetic, tennis which makes you active, badminton when you start being quick. Lacrosse that makes you run a lot, golf that helps you aiim, martial arts which makes you tough, hockey that's amusing, snowboarding when you learn tricks, canoeing for strong arms, track and field for those who are strong and fast, and basketball for people with endurance. Applaud for sports like all the ones I mentioned and get prizes, medals, and trophies! Sunday, May 15, 2005
HOW THE ICARIAN SEA GOT ITS NAME When Dedalus and Icarus were trying to escape from Minos, Minos knew what they were up to, Venus, the god of love helped him and told him what to do, so when Dedalus and Icarus were flying, Minos threw a golden apple and Icarus chased the apple into sea and drowned, then Dedalus named the sea after his son. HOW CONTINENTS FORMED About 1 million years ago, the earth was one piece but one day Zeus, the god of sky, got angry at someone. He threw his thunderbolts as hard as he could but always missed that person and he hit the earth instead, so hard, there was a crack in the earth, he kept on doing that and the pieces of earth floated away to different parts of the earth. Today, those pieces of land are in the same place and we call them continents. Saturday, May 14, 2005
Have you seen a fox alive and made of gold? That's pretty outlandish. What about a pillow made out of lemonade for the fox, who's very smart, really smart, not like a normal fox, a fox like lemonade made of gold, not like a pillow but smart and outlandish. The fox is too outlandish, very smart, smarter than a human, stronger than a pillow. I wouldn't call it a fox. I'd call it gold, 1,000 times better than lemonade. I like lemonade but it isn't as outlandish as a fox made of gold, a fox that is smart, a fox comfy as a pillow, stronger than a pillow. Not like lemonade always weak, but a gold fox. Isn't that outlandish? The fox is smart so always trust a fox made of gold. It is gold unlike a pillow very smart not lemonade very outlandish a gold fox. Trust me, there is a fox made out of gold. Of course it's outlandish, like a fancy pillow. It's not like lemonade but that fox is smart. Sunday, May 08, 2005
I AM A BOUNCY BALL I am a bouncy ball who's had a lot of adventures and has been in many hands. I'm made of rubber and have a lot of colors on me. Whenever somebody drops me I will always bounce back into their hands. One thing for sure, I'm glad I am not afraid of heights! Moms are like rainbows, especially mine. They are remarkable, amazing and they remind me of an ice-cream store but my mom makes me think of an ice cream store that is bigger than earth and my mom is the sunshine, always on the bright side. She is like a shield never letting me be bored. Best of all she is like a little heart always liking you. Sunday, May 01, 2005
Eel Eel, oh eel, how did you get that long, thin body? Was there a pencil and somebody transformed the pencil into you? How can you move so quick? Is it because you're scared of something and can't keep still? Tell me your secrets and I will tell you some of mine. Trust me, eel. The Lamp The rusty lamp looks good even though it's all black. It's bumpy and rough and it feels good, for me at least. It doesn't work, but I don't care. I just love this rusty, black, bumpy lamp. Someday you will understand. |
