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.

"No!"


I moved to a new neighborhood.


"No!" signs were everywhere!


My house was big.


So many "no" signs... but...


one "yes" sign!


"Yes, you can put up "No" signs!"


But on "No" Street, I say "yes!"


Especially when...


this question is asked: "Would you like some ice-cream?"



The No! 
I Mean,
The Yes!
I Mean...

THE END

Buzz Buzz Buzz



a song

by Avalon Blumenthal                                                 Buzz, Buzz, Buzz

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buuuuzz
I do like nature, yes I do
Colors gleam and shine
The colors stand out from red to purple
From black to white
Nature nature’s colors

A bee buzzes: Buzz, buzz, buzz
The bee is yellow and black
Just like white and black
Colors are beautiful like blue and pink
The colors wink

Now the butterflies come
The monarch is orange
The ladybugs are red
And black - they have spots
Now I dance upon the willow tree
The bees are buzzing at me

I dip my hand in the pond
The water cools down
Now the pond all settles
And I go to sleep

Silkworms


My teacher, Ms. Cid, said I could take these silkworms home for the weekend. I get to feed them. They eat Mulberry leaves. They feel soft and squishy. I can't wait until they're bigger!
