Bad Smell - Chloe C.

   We were walking around the field station , and it was a grey and snowy day.

The ground made a squish sound as we walked. As we went along we started

to smell a nasty smell. My dog Ernie and I decided to check it out. As we got 

closer my dog Ernie ran up ahead. I tried to stop him, but I could not. I ran up

to him and saw him smelling a dead deer carcass. I almost puked , but did

not, Ernie and I left fast And was glad. 

Two Poems from Anjali D.

Down

I feel down,

Picked at.

I feel blown,

Like a gust of wind has passed me.

I feel out of town,

Foreign every each way.

Nothing could make me sadder,

Than sadness itself.

Everything

It’s packing down,

I’m at the bottom.

Though it so overfilled it’s spilling,

I still manage to have all of it.

Nights and days are packed,

As well as mornings, noons and evenings.

It’s all coming down,

And there is no stopping it.

As I walked through the Enchanted Forest, I smelt a smoky scent. I ran towards it. As I ran the smoke started to rise over head. As the smoke got thicker I was able to see a long scaly tail; it was about 10ft long!! Then as I turned the bend I saw a huge dragon carcass. Around it were smaller versions of this dragon and I realized that they were newborn dragon babies. Dragons tend to have 4-6 babies a year. Then I noticed a special design on the mama dragon’s forehead. These dragons were the only mammal dragons in the world (they had a thin layer of hair all over their body, therefore they are mammals, so they give live birth. 4 of the 6 babies moved, so I picked them up and carried them back to my lab.I needed to get the babies out of the area because of the smoke from the mother’s nose.

At my lab, I took multiple tests on the babies, than I feed them a special milk.

On March 18th I found a mother and 6 baby mula-mula dragons, the only dragons that are mammals. Only 4 babies lived, the mother and 2 other babies died from starvation and the mother died from blood loss giving birth. I go back to collect the bones.

there I collect the dragons’ bones, but back at my lab there are 4 bodies, 3 babies and one mother.

The Wogasachi Tribe By: Sara J

 

My mother was Evy Monerest and my father was Pello Monerest. They were nice people, but both died by the Wild One. The Wild One is a told to have a lion’s head and a Cheetah's body. People said it had the wings of the Condor. I think it is not real, but I have no other evidence of how else they could have died. Any-way, my husband(#14) unfortunately died one night of phenomen. My daughter, Li-li-low (#3), and her nanny, Mary Poppins(#4),  are all i’ve got. I am the scribe of our tribe. I think the scribe is one of the most important jobs because I am the only one who can actually write very well. I also teach kids how to write, so that when I die, there will be someone to write down all the hisorey of our tribe. In my free time I sail on my boat, “Maria”, and sing to the animals. Li-li-low is now old enough and so she had to choose a job. She had two options, 1. A Gardener 2. A Dragon Slayer, she choose to be a Dragon Slayer! So I won’t be having any grandchildren anytime soon!

                                    

Cats by Anjali D.

Ebb walked down the street. She was a sweet brown cat and loved to catch rodents. She was bored and waited for the clock tower to strike 10, for that was the time she was going to see Callie and Gracey. As her 2 best friends, Gracey was a gray fat cat and Callie was a calico and a vocal cat. She was meeting them at café Meow, where they served the best desserts: Whisker Lickens. As the minute hand reached 9:55, Ebb raced down Purr Street in order to get to café Meow on time.

            When she got there, she was surprised to find a young black tomcat by the name of Sushi waiting expectantly. “What are you waiting for?” Ebb asked. “Cleo,” responded Sushi. The 2 of them had been best friends since they were born. As she walked into café Meow, she saw Callie waiting at one of the tables. Rushing over, Ebb accidently tripped over a cat’s tail. Immediately Callie jumped up and helped her friend to her paws. “Are you okay?” Callie asked, sympathetic. “I’m fine, thanks,” Ebb said, getting up,” Where is Gracey?” “ She said that she would be here any minute,” meowed Callie, checking her banana phone. As they sat down, Goblin, the waiter, walked over to them. “ Are you waiting for someone?” Goblin meowed. “Yes,” Ebb meowed,” we’re waiting for another cat.” As they waited, they watched all the different foods being made. They saw a Treat Deluxe, Salmon soft food, and a mouse.

            Gracey finally came and there was a rejoice. Gracey’s appointment with the vet had run late.

            This time when Goblin came over, they were ready. “Could I please have a mouse?” Ebb asked. “And could I please have Salmon Dry Food?” asked Gracey. “Could I have Tuna Soft food?” Callie meowed. “ Your orders will be here in a few minutes.” Goblin said as he walked away. “So….” Gracey said, trying to fill the empty silence.” So I  was wondering I you guys wanted to go on a cruise?” Ebb asked. “A CRUISE?” Callie asked, amazed. “you mean you will pay for it and everything?” Gracey meowed, clearly stunned. “Yes, Yes and yes,” Ebb said, “ we are going to the Bahamas!” “Great!” Gracey and Callie purred. The cats continued their excited squeals throughout the meal. They planned there trip and then went home to start packing.
