Grassy Brown and Grassy Green


This is a picture of my two pet grasshoppers in their cage. One grasshopper, which is Grassy Brown, is on the left side of the picture. The other grasshopper, which is Grassy Green, is eating the delicious leaves. He is hard to see because he is green with the green leaves. Another word for this is camouflage. Grassy Brown and Grassy Green got their names from my old pet grasshopper, Grassy. When I was in the back of my house and I was walking towards the front to play with my toys, a huge brown grasshopper jumped directly in front of my face. He reminded me of Grassy because when I first found Grassy he jumped right in front of my face. But this wasn't Grassy because he had spots- Grassy did not. I almost touched the grasshopper with my tongue because I did not see the grasshopper and I was talking. Then the grasshopper got scared and almost jumped on my dad's foot. It's hard to think that my tiny pet grasshoppers will be huge grasshoppers someday- as big as Grassy!

Mothy


This is my pet moth. I don't know if the moth is a boy or a girl, but I named him or her Mothy. Mothy can be seen in the lower right hand corner of this picture (where the circle is). Mothy likes to drink the nectar from the white flowers. I know this from observing moths during the summer. I already have a little game I like to play with Mothy. Whenever I point at Mothy he flies around really quickly and makes me smile. Mothy can be touched, but I have never tried to touch him since he has been in the cage. I found Mothy in the grass at the park. I carefully snuck up behind him and cupped my hands around him. Luckily it was the park across the street from my house so it was very easy to get him home. I quickly walked home with Mothy in my hands. It tickled when he flew around inside of my hands. Mothy sleeps a lot during the day but sometimes he finds time to play. I really feel like Mothy is getting used to me and Miles. We really love him and I think he loves us too.

Monster Berry Hunt


Monster Berry Hunt

by

Avalon Blumenthal 

Chapter 1 Pongo Valley

Pongo Valley is where monsters live. The monsters that live in Pongo Valley are  omnivores. “Hon,” called Aleena.  “What?” called  Freddy.

Well, before we start,  Aleena  is a lady  monster  and Freddy is a  man monster.
So  back  to  the  story.

“I  am  going  to  have  a  baby!”  replied  Aleena. Freddy rushed over as a baby monster popped  out!
“Lets name him Fred,” said  Aleena.
“Yes, let’s  name him Fred,”  said  Freddy.
“I’ll feed him the  berries I just  picked,” said  Aleena.
The  next  month  Fred  was  walking! Fred was happy because he found out he was going to have a baby sister. Fred was also happy because he made four new friends named Reb, Frent, Greela and  Ara. They were all boys.

Four more years passed and Fred’s baby sister was born. Her name was Lucille. Three more years passed and Lucille had no friends except herself. It was no fair. Fred was seven now and he was not sharing his friends with a three year old.
Lucille always got left out in games so she always had to do chores. She would do things like pick berries and sew clothes for her mom. 

One day Lucille snuck up on Fred and in front of his friends Lucille yelled, “Bath time for Fred!” Fred was so angry that he chased Lucille to the bath where Aleena was standing. Aleena picked Fred up and put him in the bath. Fred cried as Lucille walked out of the room.   

“Daddy.” called Lucille. “Yes.” called Daddy. “Can we read?” said Lucille. “Yes.” said Daddy. “Let’s read The Red Button .” said Lucille. “Ok.” said Daddy. 

                          “The Red Button”
          
                            by

             Levra                    Cab 



One day a little red button fell off a shirt . 
It rolled in the gutter and it rolled in a shoe.
It rolled in a tunnel and it rolled to you and you picked it up and sowed it on a shirt .
        
                        THE                        END!”

Meanwhile Aleena had read to Fred “Bear Bus”.   



                        “Bear Bus


                             by
        
            Carret Carl 


The bear bus travels through the town with little bears in it.
But one day the bear bus came to you and you hopped on it and rowed  away.

               THE                               END!”

Then Fred and Lucille went to bed. The next day Fred ran over to Ara. Ara  was the biggest. “Ara let’s gang up on Lucille.” said Fred. “Ya!” said Ara. “Lucille went to pick berries let’s follow her.”said Fred.

Fred and Ara pulled Lucille’s hair. Lucille got mad! She ran home and told Aleena. Aleena put Fred and Ara in time out. 

The next day Lucille made a friend! Fred picked berried and cleaned. So did Ara. Night fell and Lucille and Fred read


               My                        Picture


Then they went to sleep. The next day Fred and Lucille went on a trip. Lucille and Fred and Aleena and Freddie all picked lots of berries for the trip. 





Chapter 2 The Long Way to Go


They walked until lunch time. Then they ate their berries. Lucille picked more berries. Soon they came across a lake. Fred pushed Lucille into the lake. Lucille fell with a splash. Fred laughed. Lucille swam. 

When Lucille got out she had no hat or berry basket. She was sad. But at least she did not lose her things. Her things were wet. She ran back into the water. She called her parents and brother over. They swam across, got out of the water, and kept walking. 

Finally at sundown they got to Grandma’s cabin. “Grandma, Grandma!” They called. Grandma was dressed old fashioned. Grandma was always funny. She wore a bonnet and boots. She said: “Get some dress up on!” So they did.

The monsters spent the night. The next day they had to leave. Grandma gave Lucille a new dress. It had stripes. Well, it wasn’t really a dress, but it was cool anyway. Grandma gave Fred a cape with the letter F on it. 

This time they walked day and night... walk... walk... walk... walk... walk... walk... walk.
Lucille was so happy when they got to Grandpa’s house. Grandpa was happy too. It was dark by the time they got there. 

“Grandpa’s in his p.j.’s,” said Fred. 


Chapter 3 The Wonder


“Get p.j.’s on,” said Grandpa. So they did. 

Grandpa wore his puffy slippers. Lucille wore her gown and her puffy hat with curls hanging down. Fred wore his cape with a weird onesie thing and a puffy hat. Grandpa laughed. Everyone was so happy. It was like Christmas.

Lucille’s dress had snowflakes on it and Fred’s pajama’s had a snow mountain on it. The next day...

When Lucille and Fred woke up, they looked out the window and screamed! White covered the island everywhere. The grown ups came rushing in.


Chapter 4 The Snowman


“Oh!” exclaimed Grandpa. “This is snow. You see, we grown ups kept it a secret that it would snow.” 

Lucille and Fred had never seen snow and never knew what it was. 

“SNOW!” screamed Lucille. “Snowman!” screamed Fred. “We see snow! We see snow!” they both sang.

“Let’s make a snowman,” said mom. “And snow angels,” Grandpa added. The snowman was big. The angels were fun.

Snowball fight!

They played all day. Soon the whole area was covered with Lucille and Fred’s snow art. A great thing happened. It snowed even harder. Soon everyone was white. 




Chapter 5 Wow!


The wow about this chapter is that it snowed so hard, right? But then the sun comes out. Lucille and Fred become sad and lost and have a cold heart. They are so sad that they SCREAMED!

They screamed so loud that the world went dark! The sun’s heart felt so sad because he thought everyone liked him. The sun did not shine through the rest of December. But the monsters made up a month called sun month. This made the sun happy and shiny. And shinier and shinier until... the whole world lit up and it was sun month. 

“Sun month!” screamed Lucille and Fred. 

SUN!

Lucille and Fred sent the sun presents to celebrate. The sun wanted to send a gift too, so he made Aleena pregnant! Nine months later she had a little girl. She named her Swirl. Swirl loved the sun and the sun changed. But the wind blew dark clouds into the sky. 


“Wind is stronger than sun,” said the horrible wind. Sun took off his sunglasses and started to cry.

“NO!” screamed Lucille and Fred. “Sun is powerful too!” they shouted. They started to Blow! Harder and harder and harder and harder... until sun was powerful too. Sun blew with them and they blew the clouds away. 
Sun! Fireworks! They play with the sun! Sun! 
The monsters go home. They are a family of five now. They all have friends. They all are happy. They take a family picture. 

Chapter 6 Friends!

Sun is good but wind can be good too. Sun is fun. Wind can be fun too. Adventures. Adventures are fun. You are fun. Sun! Sun! Sun! Friends! Love! Monsters! 
Fred, Freddie, Swirl, Lucille, Aleena, Grandpa, and Grandma - Pongo Valley.

        THE END!

The Diamond Fall


One day, one hot summer day Roofa was going on a hike when she came across a huge DIAMOND! This diamond was 3 feet wide and 7 feet tall! Roofa did not want to share the diamond but she could never get it home herself. After all, diamonds are the most heaviest minerals.  So Roofa pushed and kicked the diamond off the cliff and watched it shatter into a million pieces. 

Roofa sighed carelessly. Roofa continued her walk and found lots of  pretty minerals but none of them were as pretty as the   SHINY   diamond. Roofa sighed again not expecting the weather to answer but it did with a boom and a crash of lightning. Roofa hurried back to her car. 

Roofa drove home disappointed because of the storm and with a hurt foot because of the diamond. Crash! Roofa could barely see through her windshields. Wipe, wipe, wipe. Roofa drove back through the forest. The smell of the forest reminded Roofa of Christmas. Roofa finally made it to her house where she settled down with a a nice cup of hot chocolate. It felt much too cold and wet to do anything, so after Roofa finished her cup of hot chocolate, she curled up, read a book, and soon she was asleep. 

Roofa woke up with a start. It was pouring. Roofa looked at the clock. It was 6:00 in the morning! Had Roofa really fallen asleep at 5:30 and awoke at 6:00!? Roofa made a pancake and then started to get ready for her new day. When Roofa was ready she read a book and at 9:00 in the morning she slipped on her shoes and got in the car to go hiking. It was turning out to be a sunny day. 

When Roofa got close to the waterfall she heard cheering. Then when Roofa  arrived at the waterfall she saw a ... DIAMOND FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The waterfall had chunks of diamonds in it! There was a police standing next to the waterfall saying: “You can take 1 chunk of diamond.” Before Roofa went to the waterfall she told the police what had caused the diamond fall. The policeman was so stunned he let Roofa take 2 pieces of diamonds and that weekend Roofa was to go to the canyon and tell the story of the diamond fall. 

Roofa somehow knows Avalon Blumenthal and she told Avalon the story and so Avalon wrote a story about the diamond fall and this is it.

Flying Fairy Land


It rained. On a little house in the middle of the night. A bunch of black fairies came to the little house. A girl named Avalon let them in. The fairies and the girl played and danced. And sung. They played and danced and sung until dawn.

 A tap on the door. The girl opened the door. It was the king and queen fairies. The king and queen had golden crowns. The fairy king and queen took off their crowns so no one would know it was the king and queen. The fairies told the girl not to tell anyone about them. 

The girl left for school. When she came back the king and queen put on their crowns. The girl told them she had not told anyone so the fairies gave the girl a present. They said: “Jump.” Avalon jumped then slowly floated down. It was like she could fly!

The next day she went to school. She was the center of attention. When she got home she had to go shopping. When she went shopping she jumped so high over the aisle. But she did not jump so high she could not come down. She could swim in the air! 
She was the center of attention. 

Then she woke up. Avalon had a lovely dream and this was it.
