The Escape - Blaise

Sophie the snake sat on her moss-covered branch in her glass case in the insect zoo and tried to sigh. She knew pythons could not sigh, but still, she tried. Why am I in a insect zoo? She wondered. Why not in a regular zoo like regular animals? It’s not fair! I mean they get a nice, spaced-out, big cage or something, While all I have is a puny, glass case. She wished she could escape. You would too if little kids tapped at the glass and stared wouldn’t you? When no one was staring at her, Sophie slithered down to her food bowl to check if there was anything to eat. Half a cricket and a mouse. Both dead hmm. She liked killing them herself. She espescally liked live crickets and grasshoppers. They were her favorite for two reason: she liked to watch them hop around until she got bored, and they taste really awesome! Anyways Sophie ate the mouse and a leg off the cricket. She slithered up to a branch underneath the red light bulb that had been placed in her cage to keep her warm. Just then, a little girl came by and Sophie stiffened, what she always did with little kids. Sophie found that staying still made the kid less interested therefore, made them stay not as long. The little girl started saying,” Mommy, mommy! Come here, quick!” A woman was walking towards her saying,” I’m coming Amanda I’m coming!” She stared into and said, “Oh that’s a nice big snake, isn’t it?” Amanda nodded and said, “That’s why I never want it to get loose, especially when I’m around!” The mom laughed. All of a sudden her older brother snuck up behind, her with a giant stuffed centipede. He put it on the shoulder that wasn’t next to their mother’s shoulder. He put it so his sister could only see the head. As you can probably guess, Sophie freaked when she saw it. She screamed, Sophie flinched, she did not like loud noises. The mother started scolding the boy, but here is the important part: when Amanda screamed Sophie barely had time to flinch and I will tell you why. When Amanda screamed, she also lunged forward, knocking over Sophie’s case. When Sophie fell, she felt sure that if snakes could gasp, Sophie would have done the biggest one ever. The glass case came tumbling to the floor and with a THUMP and shatter, the case broke. She slithered out the door that a worker was holding open for people to get out. The worker tried to run out and shut the door but Sophie was too quick for him and slithered through the door. The worker slammed the door shut. Sophie quickly slithered away and even now she still thanks Amanda. The end.

My Little Nook - Jessica

My Little Nook

I have this little place where I like to go. I call it my little nook. I can hear the birds singing merry songs, the clock tower bonging away to tell me that it is now 2:00, and a squirrel scolding me from a nearby branch. I can feel the cool pavement under me, and the sun on my back. With my hands, I can feel the grainy roughness of the pavement, and the soft, yet chunky dirt that lines it. I can see green leaves from a nearby tree waving gently above my head, and people walking by, but I don’t think that they notice me. The squirrel that was chattering at me is now zipping up to the highest limbs of the tree, seemingly eager to get away from me. My nook is so peaceful, and that is why I love it.

Four Legs are Better Than Two - Gabriella

Four Legs are Better Than Two
By Gabriella Radina

As the sun drifted through the branches Sullivan Sloth woke up lazy as usual and climbed down the tree to do his morning business. Pongo the Parrot flew by happy and singing as usual stopped for a drink on a flower by Sullivan. “Beautiful day right Sullivan?” she chirped excitedly “Right Sullivan?” she said again “Oh yah beautiful day alright.” He said irritated that Pongo had disturbed my nap during my pee. “Well I’ll be off and tell Artie the Aardvark if you see him not to eat to many ants. I’m having a party a few days and with his stomach he will be as full as an overstuffed Thanksgiving turkey. Oh and thank you in advance.” Said Pongo “Okay.” Mumbled Sullivan. As he climbed back up his tree Artie ambled by slowly while looking for something to eat. ”Don’t eat to much Artie.” Sullivan said quietly glad that he could tell Pongo that he told Artie but that Artie didn’t listen. As Sullivan looked around for another feeding branch Sally the Slug s-l-o-w-l-y c-r-a-w-l-e-d by exclaiming “Their coming their coming the big men are coming.” “Sally who is coming? No one is coming besides Mitchelle the Monkey for the party. What is going on?” I finished “Big Men with big sharp looking things are cutting down trees.” Sally said still trying to catch her breath. “So what do you think?” Sally asks me. “Well? She says, “If my calculations are right it took you 21 days to get here so the Big Men are probably gone by now but thanks for the worrying.” I say knowingly no one ever listens to me but this I’ll be right I know I will, said Sally. Sally gloomily while slimly sliding off. “Hello? Sullivan?” said Mitchelle “What?” I say slowly opening my eyes “MITCHELLE!”I say more awake and forgetting I should do my business before I pee on my visitor. THUD! THUNK! BONK! “What was that?” Mitchelle asks, “I don’t know but I’ll go out and look.” I answer back thinking I’ll pee and check at the same time. As I climb down MY tree Sally s-l-o-w-l-y slides by “what’s the racket?”
Chico the cheetah said, “The Big Men are coming and cutting down trees” says Sally knowingly and giving me an I was right and you were wrong I told you so. “We have to build something for everyone to stay and make bricks to drop on these weeds,” says Chico roaming up and down out of breath.
Later that day everyone who lived in the jungle gathered and brought sticks, hay, leaves, and food of all sorts. As we worked together to make bricks the nrrrrrr of the chain saws got louder. Finally at6:00P.M. we were ready. All the animals in the jungle tried to look as normal as possible but when everyone is carrying 1-3 bricks it’s hard to look normal. Everyone went to their trees and waited and waited and waited until finally the workers approached Sullivan’s tree as the worker pulled the chain to start the saw the animals of the forest threw bricks and mud and that was the end of people cutting down trees now if we could only convince them Four Legs are Better Than Two.

My Surroundings - Ella

MY SURROUNDINGS

I am surrounded by brick on two sides and a window, in front of me with a newspaper. A pillar was behind me and sun on one side. A bird has made his home close to me. There are two birds that I know of one perched on a little ledge and one in the nest. They are beautiful birds yellow and black with a hint of red on it’s tail. Right now it’s hiding his head under his wing. People walk to and from the building I am sitting by. I hear a bird’s song and cars going by. I also hear a leaf clattering by on the sidewalk. A clock chimes two and a cigerette lays nearby among bird droppings. A little black bug skitters by and I am starting to wonder if there are babies in the nest. The air smells musty, and the wood planks above me look red and burned. Two lights hang right above me. The sun shines forming a half circle. The bird’s song above me is so beautiful. The height from the floor to the ceiling is probably 12 feet. Three steps bring people to my level and a NO SMOKING sign hangs nearby. I noticed all of these in a few minutes and it taught me what you notice if you slow down and are aware of your surroundings.

Scotland ~ Rachel

Scotland

If you could go on vacation anywhere in the world where would you go?

I would go to Scotland.

What would you do there?

I would check out all of the architecture because it’s really cool but I’ve only seen it in books.

What does it look like?

Scotland has mountains and misshapen and rugged valleys that contain water lots of vegetation grow there.

Why would you go there?

I would go there because I have family from there and I want to learn about Scottish culture.


Tell me some interesting facts about your destination?

Scotland is on the continent Europe and in the country Britain.

Queen Elizabeth is obviously the queen and she owns a lot of Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh corgis my favorite two breeds of dog.

Mrs. Robert's Rock Shop - Paige

Mrs. Robert’s Rock Shop
Courtney entered Mrs. Roberts Rock Shop with the usual ring of the customer bell. “Hi Elise. How are you?” Courtney said to the owner’s daughter. “Good,” Elise answered “Mother wants the place tidied up between sales,” “I did that yesterday!” Court whined. “This place gets messy too often,” First she put every rock in its place. Then she swept the floor. “Done,” she panted. The window fell. “More work” she whined. After she fixed the window, a customer came in. “Welcome to Mrs. Roberts’ Rock Shop. I’m Courtney and this is Elise,” Courtney said to the customer. “I know it’s my shop and I know my daughter’s name.” It was Mrs. Ella Roberts, the owner. “Elise, darling. Time to go,” “Mother, remember Sadie isn’t going to be here. I promised her I’d work her shift,” said Elise.

When Courtney got home it was nearly 6. She told her mom and dad it’s not fair that since she’s only 10 she can’t do anything. Her dad her a story that made her feel better. She went back to Mrs. Robert’s Rock Shop happy.

My Dream Vacation ~ Kelly

My Dream Vacation

I’m going on a cruise to the Bahamas. It’s sunny and relaxing. The beach would be spectacular and the sand would tickle my feet. I would sip from a coconut and lay in a hammock. The sunset over the ocean would put me to sleep with crickets chirping all around me. Too bad this vacation is only in my head. I wish it were reality.

Oreo - Jeremy

I would pick up the Oreo and savor the smell. Then I would stick a tiny bit into my mouth, and slowly nibble it away, and savoring the taste of an Oreo.

My Oreo ~ Kelly

My OREO

Vanilla smell waves over me as my hand reaches toward the core of the OREO. I pick it up, it fells quite light, but the taste is that times 12. I break it in half and scoop the middle out with my tongue. Once the cream filling is gone I squish the chocolate crust together again and try to eat the rest slowly, but it’s gone before I can blink. The chocolate sticks to my teeth, but hey that’s more for later!

Oreo - Sheridan

First I would pull it apart. Then I would take out the white stuff. Then I would roll the white stuff in to a ball. Then I would eat the white stuff in one bite and then I lick it off my fingers. I would eat the brown cookie part in two bites. THE END

On the Ground ~Kelly

On the Ground

Down on the ground
I feel quite sound
With greenery all around
Church bells sound
Birds fly down
And sing all around
I may be in a town
But there’s greenery around
That’s where I’ll be found
Down, down on the ground

Rocks - Judah

This reminds me of blue Popsicles. The inside looks like treasure. It was bumpy and shiny.

This rock makes me happy. It felt like skipping across water. The top was smooth like ice.

This reminds me of grass and trees on mountains. It looked powerful like kryptonite.

I am the molar of a mammoth. I used to be inside the mammoths mouth I am inside a glass case in Manhattan KS on the planet Earth in the Solar System in the Milky Way in the universe. Somebody found me in North America probably buried under layers and layers of dirt. I couldn’t tell because dirt kept falling in my eyes. Now, I am here for people to look at and enjoy as the person who wrote this story did. I hope you enjoy me and aren’t too disgusted by the sort of rotting teeth. I’ll see you in about never since this story is made up and can’t see. Bye.

Sincerely,
The Molar

The Rock - Rachel

Rubies are red
Azurite is blue
Diamonds are hardest
Talc is weakest
Coal is old plant material
Gneiss is fossilized
Wood that fell to the ground

Can be found all around

Escape - Kelly

Escape

When I first got to my new home on this shelf I thought life would be swell. Boy was I wrong. Being a selenit rock I look way different than all the other rocks here. The first few days the other rocks said I looked weird in a good way. Now they say I look weird in a horridly bad way. Life isn’t worth living any more. But how am I going to get out of here?
One day the light above was unscrewed, shortly after someone yelled at someone else for being a dumbwit and forgetting to buy a new light bulb. This was my chance.
That night, after all the other rocks were asleep, I hopped from shelf to shelf and was careful not to wake anyone up. I squeezed through the opening and ended up on the roof. I slid down the drainpipe. I was free! I headed out to Chihauhau, Mexico like my nametag said I was from.
Once there I stumbled across my family and snuggled into my old home, my only home.
The End


The banded sandstone

I go light, dark, light
I can grow to great heights
I’m the banded sandstone
Was crushed down below
And that’s how I got so tight

If I could talk

If I could talk
I’d say quite a lot
‘Cause I sparkle and gleam prettily

I sit here all day
But that’s not the way
It was when I was made

Where I was found
Was down in the ground
And I was put in this old museum

Demi the Tree Spirit - Jessica

Demi was a spirit. A tree spirit, to be exact. She lived in a big forest called the Mythical Forest. Her best friends were a unicorn named Diamonds and a water spirit named Harmony. She had a pale green tint to her skin and wispy silver curls cascaded down her back. She wore a robe made out of cottonwood leaves, for cottonwood trees were the group of trees she represented. The leaves in her robe were stitched together with spider silk, and she wore a ribbon in her hair made out of the silk as well. She was able to run through the forest without a sound. She was tall and slender, and all of the little woodland creatures adored her. She lived in a thick old cottonwood tree deep in the heart of Mythical Forest.
The Mythical Forest was full to the brim with endless wonders. At night, little balls of light bobbed around the forest, acting as natural nightlights. During the day, the trees would bend over you if you asked for some shade. Everything worked together to make the forest a wonderful place to be.

Rocks - Sheridan

I saw a rock I picked it up and touched it and it said put me down! I said what he said I said put me down. You can talk? Yes. We became friends he lived in a jar and lived in my house. THE END

Rocks and More Rocks - Jeremy

Smoky, Smoky it looks so smoky
Hey there’s smoke billowing from that rock
It’s dark, dark gray
Wait it’s as hard as rock
I wonder what type of rock it is
Wait I think its smoky quartz



Hi call me Jaws. I have green eyes, a big green mouth. I also have very, very sharp greenish white teeth. Sadly I don’t have any feet so I have to roll around.


One day Dogtooth [a piece of calcite shaped like dog teeth] was walking down the street when he spotted a wanted sign. The reward was for 1 million dollars so he went walking around town until he saw the person who was wanted then he chased him down and asked are you wanted for stealing $100? Man police these days aren’t very bright. How would you like not to go to jail if you return it they will probably let it go this time. So they went and returned it and the wanted was forgiven.

THe Secret of the Geode ~ Elora

THE SECRET OF THE GEODE

A deep, sparkling hole
With quartz all around
Encased in a dull-looking rock
Open it and see
Otherworldly wonders
Inside the ordinary rock
Things are not always as they seem
So look carefully
Before you assume
That the rock
Is ordinary

Untitled - Jeremy

One time when I was a gambler [Before I Sam Spade became an artist.] I won 3 million dollars 1mill in 20-one 1 mill in poker and 1 mill in Black Jack.
I am now an artist, millionaire and a former gambler. Though I still gamble a lot, but one day I had an idea I could make a sculpture out of cardboard. So I made 21 inch die [or dice] I also made a stand for it. The stand had winning hands for card games. Then I sold it to the Beach Museum Of Art. I can’t believe I made a sculpture out of cardboard!!


Hi I’m Shane Shick. I’ve been working all daylong. I’m taking a break now. It’s been tough for my family lately because my son has been kidnapped! Hey, be quiet, I think I hear my son screaming! I better follow him. As soon as got up I could see him running away from someone. I ran after him until I got to the river the local gangster Aaron Fritz was beating my son to a pulp. I jumped into a rowboat and rowed as hard as I could and I accidentally ran into Aaron's boat and it started sinking so I grabbed my son and for a moment and smacked Aaron in the face and pulled him up. Then I took the bandit to the sheriff’s office. Aaron got a prison sentence for 50 years. He also said that when he got out he would kill us.


I would like to be a doctor a dentist
Maybe a baker or an MLB team owner
I would like to be a chemist
Perhaps I could do it all and do it all
Then I’d be a millionaire

Life in the Mountains: a Girl's Story - Jessica

My name is Shima. I am ten years old. I live in a little village on the east side of the Natakay Mountains. Our homes here are built right into the side of the cliffs of Mt. Tarlae. They are made out of a chalky, pale-white rock called Chirilaxx, which is always cool to the touch. It must be, for it is always hot in the Natakay Mountains. Few plants grow here, so we rarely get fresh fruit and greens, or, as some people call them, vegetables. We mostly survive on long-legged animals called Waywaes, which are abundant. Therefore, most of the men in our village of Martaka are hunters, and boys are trained to hunt at the age of seven.
My father, Jarmer, is a successful hunter. He comes home every night with the delicious red Waywae meat hidden away in his Waywae-skin satchel, and the dusty-brown Waywae pelt slung over his left shoulder. I love to watch him come walking up the soft dirt path to our cozy little house every night. The way the late-afternoon sun glances off of his glossy, black, ear-length hair, the way he saunters up the path as if he has no care in the world, the way he swings the satchel back and forth, back and forth, and most of all, the way he calls out my name in his deep strong voice, ruffles my glossy black hair (even though it’s usually pulled back into two braids), and drops the soft Waywae pelt into my outstretched arms for me to use for clothes and blankets.
My father is not the only one with jobs to do each day. Every day, in the dim, early-morning sun, I haul the big chirilaxx jug down to a small stream hidden in the valley inbetween Mt. Tarlae and Mt. Utapartu, our neighboring mountain. I dip the jug into the cool mountain stream and let it fill with water for my family to use. When I lift it out of the water, I set it on the riverbank, then scoop a handful of the refreshing water up in my hands and press my face into them. Ahhh. There’s nothing as good as the chilling water of Lurmita Stream on a hot day. But I have a responsibility to do for my small family. I quickly but carefully set the jug of water on my head and trudge up the path to my home in the mountains, careful not to spill a drop. I hold my hands on either side of the jug to keep it steady.
When I walk in the door of my home, I set the jug down on a small table. It is made out of a tree called the Vallatara Tree. After pouring the water into three small cups, one for each of the members of my family, I run to greet my mother, Taela. After giving her a hug and receiving a kiss on each of my cheeks, I run to build a fire in our fire hold right outside our house and get started making breakfast, which usually consists of leftover Waywae meat mixed with the little amount of herbs we have left in our storage pots. The rest of the day I play outside with my rag doll I got 7 years ago, when we took a visit to my grandpappy and grandmammy. I also sometimes run errands for my neighbors. When the sun disappears and the sky goes dark, I hurry inside and go to my bedroom, a small room off of the main one. I huddle under my Waywae pelt that I use for a blanket and fall asleep, ready for another day in the Natakay Mountains.

Tea with the Queen ~ Paige

Tea With the Queen

Diana Kessler once worked at Cinderella Cleaners. She retired and 3 years later had a daughter, Leanna. Over time she had another daughter, Jessica.

Leanna had just turn 10. She was old enough to work at Cinderella Cleaners. Jessica was 6. “It’s not fair!” she whined. Leanna didn’t care though. She was paid $20.00 each week.

“There you go,” called Leanna’s mother as Leanna got out of the car. “Just one picture. Please sweetie?” asked her mother. “Fine,” Leanna said embarrassed. After the picture and goodbye kiss from Jessica, Leanna went inside. There she met Cat’s (A friend of her mother’s) child. Her name is Sydney. “Hi,” Leanna said. “Hello,” Sydney said back.

Leanna started her shift by getting all belongings out of pockets. In one she found an invitation. “Sydney come hear what this says,” she called you, Mary Laving and one guest have been invited to have tea with the queen on June 21, 2010. That’s tomorrow at 7:00 U.S.A., time. See you then

With all regards, Jane, Queen of England. “If the Lady doesn’t pick it up we’ll go,” said Leanna.

The next day on a private jet they went to England dressed as Mary’s nieces. Finally, after getting through security they met the queen. They told her they were Mary’s nieces and that Mary was sick. All went well and they got home safely.

Walk on the Rock - Rachel

The painting I chose to write about is called walk on the rock. It’s a picture of a creek in winter. When I saw it I thought about my dad’s house and my happy place, where I want to be. I like the style the artist used to paint the painting because I can relate to it. I also like it because it reminds me of one of my homes.

Thoughts - Ella

I personally have always been inspired by this giant ball made of waterhoses.

Since it’s a shape within a shape it reminds me that first you break out of being a kid,

The first shape. Then you break out of being an adult the second shape.

I thought it was neat how one artist drew on mulberry paper.

The picture of the mother with a child reminds me of a old saying you are born into

The world as a baby and you leave it as one as well. There is a picture of a lady with

glasses and she kind of reminded me of myself . I also liked the Whitey Cracker

guy because he looked so interesting and old fashioned .I liked a saying on the

wall that said “You either like it or you don’t and that’s ok.” I think that explains

almost everything. I liked all the different sculptures. There were amazing quilts I

especially liked one called crazy quilt.

A painting called Monday Morning caught my attention with its bright colors.

I liked the gold bowl.

The pointalism painting reminds me of fire, storms and grass.

I thought a green crazy paperweight was cool.

The clouds in one pastel picture looked like a photograph.

A picture of a barn covered in snow caught my attention.

I liked the statue out of cardboard.

I also like the architecture of the shimmery arch.

I like the tulips and the pictures of the lady.

I thought the skull in the hole was kind of scary.

Hope ~ Elora

HOPE

Oh little white cup
On a dark brown counter
Surrounded by darkness
You are the only light
In the dark world
Where dreams fall away
And children are lost in despair
You are the hope
That shines in the darkness
Reminding the people
To sip from the white cup
In the dark room

A Little Red House ~ Elora

A LITTLE RED HOUSE

THERE IS
A little red house in the snow that stands all alone in the white, glistening world. If you listen you’ll hear children laughing inside at their father’s story in the little red house in the snow that stands all alone in the white, glistening world. If you sniff the air you’ll smell apple pie fresh from the oven waiting to be eaten by the children who are laughing at their father’s story in the little red house in the snow that stands all alone in the white, glistening world. If you look you’ll see the mother who is sewing who made the apple pie that’s waiting to be eaten by the children who are laughing at their father’s story in the little red house in the snow that stands all alone in the white, glistening world. And if you knock on their door, I’m sure they’ll let you in.

Two Ball Triangle - Ellie

I see a big ball and a small ball. Both of them are colorful. Both of the balls have triangles in them. And they have polka dots inside them. They have a few animals on them. They have lots of colors there’s white lines and red blue yellow lines and black green lines. It also has gray brown lines. It has orange lines too.

I see something orange it looks like fire. It’s very very pretty I think it’s made out of plastic. It’s very shiny. I think it came sea. If I touch it I think it would be cold.

The Kansas Meat Ball - Ethan

Once I went to the art museum and saw a statue. That looks like the earth in a giant

Meat ball and a very colorful earth and a colorful meet ball with points and the earth has points too. They are made of triangles.


The Titanic

Once I went to the art museum and saw the model of the titanic. I think it sank in a pond and people fished it out of the pond a few years later because it is very rusted. It should have four lifeboats but it only has one and it lost two holders for lifeboats.

The Hungry Tarantula - Jeremy

Hi, I'm Harry the tarantula. One day, I was very hungry. So I went out to find some crickets. Sadly, I couldn't find any so I went hunting for grasshoppers. I found grasshopper eggs, then I met my great great aunt Mexican Redrump. I said, "Hello," and went inside someone's house and someone tried to kill me. I ran into a mouse hole and was trying to kill a mouse.
And the mouse said, "Ahh please don't eat me I'm too young to die."

And I said, "But I'm starving. I guess I won't eat you if you find me some food," and then I sighed.

The mouse asked me what I wanted to eat and I said grasshoppers or crickets. The mouse said, "Go to Cleveland. They are having a cricket convention." So I went to the airport to catch a plane to Cleveland when he got off he went to find a hotel. I went up to my room and found 1 billion crickets. I ate a few and stuck the rest into a container and went back home and stored them in my freezer and I lived happily ever after, at least until next week.

Slowly, slowly I inch up a blade of grass. Almost there... alas I lose my grip and down I fall. The hard, cracked ground welcomes me back. Will I ever become a butterfly? I must spin my cocoon before dark. I'll never make it! A dragonfly swoops down. He says his name is Abyss and that he can take me up the blade of grass. I have heard that dragonflies never lie so I nod my wee head and climb on Abyss's back. We fly high, then he lowers me down. I thank him for his time, then I lift up and start to spin on a low branch. Cool, white silk surrounds me. Covered in silk, I wait for days. My body is changing. One day, the cocoon becomes clear. I open it. Something on my back is heavy. I see myself in a puddle. Wings! Slowly I test them. Soon I fly high as a butterfly!

I'm as Tiny as a Bug - Paige

Montana loves insects like butterflies and ants. Her sister Dakota hates them. Their stepfather loves to invent. One day their stepfather went to lunch. Dakota went in his lab. she messed with one of his inventions. It was called the Shrinkinator. She got in front of it and a ray shot out. "What happened," she said. She went outside. Montana was collecting bugs. "No, no, no!" shouted Dakota but Montana had already picked her up. "You look like Dakota," said Montana. Dakota bit her. "You bite, don't you," said Montana. She shook her hand and Dakota fell off. She went back in the lab and started the Shrinkinator. Then she set it for growth. "How tall am I?" she wondered. "Oh yeah, 4 ft. 9." A ray shot and she grew. "Back to normal," she said.

The Bug Maze - Kelly

I guess I'm a stupid ant. I just had to try this awesome looking maze! A strange spider invited me to try his maze. It didn't look very hard at the time, plus it was FREE! How could I pass up an offer like that? So I agreed to try it. Now I"m concerned, I have no idea where I am. There are so many different turns to choose. Now I think it's a trap. Strange sounds are coming from, well, everywhere.

A sticky substance is oozing down the walls. Should I turn around or keep going? Should I run and hope for the best, or walk and guess which turns look the least threatening? Should I try climbing the walls and risk getting stuck? All questions will be answered on the new, thrilling, heart-pumping, PG movie, THE BUG MAZE!

In theaters August 3rd.

The Escape ~ Blaise

Sophie the snake sat on her moss covered branch in the glass case. She tried to sigh, but being a python, she couldn't. She wished she could escape. You would too if little kids stared and tapped at the glass wouldn't you? When no one was staring at her she slithered to her food bowl to check if there was anything to eat. Half a cricket and a mouse. Hmm. She ate the mouse and a leg of the cricket. She slithered up to a branch underneath the red light bulb that had been placed in her case to keep her warm. She did that so that the water drops from the water bottle because she had been sitting under it before. Just then, a little girl came by and Sophie stiffened, what she always did when little kids came by, so as you can probably guess, Sophie didn't get to mouse around a lot. The little girl started saying, "Mommy, Mommy! Come here! Quick!" A woman was walking towards the girl, saying, "I'm coming Amanda, I'm coming." She stared into and said, "Ooh, that's a nice, nice big snake isn't it? Amanda nodded and said, "That's why I never want it to get loose, especially when I'm around!" The mom laughed. All of a sudden, her older snuck up behind her with a giant stuffed centipede. He put the shoulder that wasn't next to their mother's shoulder. He put it so that his sister could only see the head. As you can probably guess, a man freaked when she saw it. she screamed, Sophie flinched; she did not like loud noises. The mother started scolding the boy, but there's an important part: When Amanda screamed Sophie barley had time to flinch, and I'll tell you why. When Amanda screamed, she also lunged forward, knocking over Sohie' case when Sophie fell, she felt sure that it snakes could gasp Sophie would've done the biggest one ever. The glass case came tumbling to the floor and with a THUMP and a shatter, the case broke. She slithered out the door that a worker was holding open for people to get out. The worker tried to run out and shut the door, but Sophie was so quick for him and slithered through the door.The worker slammed the door shut. Sophie quickly slithered away.

Lily Lubber's Race - Jessica

"And #14, Lilly Lubber, wins!" announcer Herald Hoppington's voice boomed around the arena. I, Lilly Lubber, champion, shook my blood-red wings in a tpye of victory dance. I had trained long and hard for this day, when the annual Grasshopper Hopping Rac etook place. I looked around the stadium and spotted my mother Libby, my father Larry, and my twin sisters Lila and Leia proudly waving their black-tipped antennas at me. The mayor of Grassville, Charlie Chewer, presented me with a basket of lettuce leaves. I leaped out of the arena with the basket nestled between my wings. I couldn't believe it! I had won! I was starting to daydream about eating my leaves when my family hopped up to me.

"I can't believe -" started Leia.

"-that you are the champion!" Lila finished. It was a new thing that my younger sisters enjoyed. One of them would start a sentence, then the other would finish it.

"Good job, honey," Mom congratulated me.

"I knew you could do it," Dad smiled.

That night, we had carrots as a victory dinner at Darcy's Diner, then flew home to our log. As I snuggled into my bed of ferns, I smiled contentedly to myself. I had won the Race, and I was proud of it.

The Unique Bug ~ Sheridan

There was a unique bug. Wow that bug is very pretty. He has been on a very long trip and he is home. The unique bug did all of his chores when he got home. After his chores he took a bath with the fish. The unique bug was at Florida. He saw every thing in Florida. After his bath he went to bed. The unique bug.

Creatures in the Shallow - Rachel

As I looked into the crevice of a rock beneath the water I saw a crawdad creep. I saw the fishes sleep. I saw a water scorpion sneak. I saw a fishy romance peak. The orange one was magnificently pretty. The black one was slender and strong. On the surface stood 2 giant waterbugs.

My Life as a Velvet Ant Needs Improvement - Gabriella

My name is Jr. Jo Bob the Velvet Ant. I live at the Insect Zoo. Where, I don't know. I have a lot of friends their names are J-J 1 and J-J 2. They're the desert beetles. Actually there are about 100 of them, that's why everyone's name is J-J. Squirmy is the desert millipede who squirms against the glass, and he has a brother Squirm Jr. King and Kwang are the Lubber Grasshoppers who look painted and are very glad to be bigger. J-J 1 and J-J 2 recently killed their 3rd brother because he wanted to build a castle and everyone bring their food to him. The hissing cockroaches basically chill and break up fights between the J-J's. Now to my story.

I came here two years ago and met everyone. Seemed like a pretty nice plpace but now I'm homesick and I'm halfway up the glass wall. As I approach the top I push open the top and I'M FREE. I'll still visit but I'm going to live in the walls now. I'm happy and have met a very happy velvet ant named Jeorgia and we will live happily every after.

*UPDATED* A Place In Time - Ella

A Place In Time


There is a place in the world where the birds sing only quietly,
Where the sun beats down and lights up the forest floor. The moss creeps along at it’s own pace and time seems to stop. In this place where Mother Nature overpowers I can only see this scene dreamily as if in a fog. In this place the creatures do not know of another place in another time where life isn’t going so smoothly. The air smells like smoke hanging down over the city like a thick cloud. Litter coats the area and the stinch of gasoline hangs in every crevice. In this polluted place animals scatter at the thundering sounds of elevated trains, buses and subways. While they run they dream of another place the place I first mentioned and they think about why the people of the world are destroying their habitats. The people in this time are aware of what they are doing but don’t think much of it. They just go about doing their business, going to work and then coming back to their cozy homes at the closing of another day. Some good-hearted people try to help by recycling, picking up trash and whatnot, and that helps so keep up the good work on that but what would help even more is to go out and encourage other people to do it too. Now while you work on that I’ll tell you even more about the place in time that is our goal as the people of the world. In this other place ants and spiders work together in their groups to make a house stronger or feed young ones just like we as people should work together. Now I have one question which place would you rather live in? In answer to that question a little girl living in New York City said, "The better one." Now life is better. Everyone works together and we all know that every person counts as we all work together towards a common goal.

Emperor scorpion - Aaron

The emperor scorpions glow in the dark the color green. They have stingers. Their stingers are powerful. They live in dirt and they sit still because they're lazy. He lives by himself because he is happier. His friends and family and not happy with him. He likes the dark in a cage because it is big and it has space. He sleeps by a skeleton. It is his bed. He likes it there. It has 6 legs. He is 1 inch long. He is 7 years old. They are cool.

Desert Beetles - Isaiah

If I brought home desert beetles, they would get into my mom's vegetables and eat them. Then they would crawl around the house and scare my mom.

Ice Cream - Ryan

Ice cream is the best.
It tastes better than chicken breast.
It is prettier than a bird's nest.

Four Legs are Better Than Two ~Gabriella

Four Legs are Better Than Two


As the sun drifted through the branches Sullivan Sloth woke up lazy as usual and climbed down the tree to do his morning business. Pongo the Parrot flew by happy and singing as usual stopped for a drink on a flower by Sullivan. “Beautiful day right Sullivan?” she chirped excitedly “Right Sullivan?” she said again “Oh yah beautiful day alright.” He said irritated that Pongo had disturbed his nap during his pee. “Well I’ll be off and tell Artie the Aardvark if you see him not to eat to many ants. I’m having a partying a few days and with his stomach he will be as full as an overstuffed Thanksgiving turkey. Oh and thank you in advance.” Said Pongo “Okay.” Mumbled Sullivan. As he climbed back up his tree Artie ambled by slowly while looking for something to eat. ”Don’t eat to much Artie.” Sullivan said quietly glad that he could tell Pongo that he told Artie but that Artie didn’t listen. As Sullivan looked around for another feeding branch Sally the Slug s-l-o-w-l-y c-r-a-w-l-e-d by exclaiming “Their coming their coming the big men are coming.” Sally who is coming? No one is coming besides Mitchelle the Monkey for the party. What is going on?” I finished “Big Men with big things are cutting down trees.” Sally said still trying to catch her breath. “So what do you think?” Sally asks me. “Well? She says, “If my calculations are right it took you 21 days to get here so the Big Men are probably gone by now but thanks for the worrying.” I say knowingly no one ever listens to me but this I’ll be right I know I will, said Sally. Sally gloomily while slimly sliding off. “Hello? Jullian?”

The Fish Whisperer - Rachel

At the foot of the pine tree covered mountain flowed the most mighty and the most gentle river that any one as ever seen at the moment the river was calm and a man stood on the pine covered river bank the fish were swimming serenely through the water but when the man saw a grizzly bear on the opposite bank he bent down and put his face In the water he told the fish to hide so they swam into an under ground cave an then the man pulled a hidden lever and pushed a green button and the water started churning white froth and the grizzly reluctantly turned and trumped away the man ran deep into the woods and disappeared into a trapdoor in the side of a tree if you traveled to the top of the tree you could see the whole mountain and the, now raging river surrounding it .Instead of going up he sprinted down the stairs to the under ground cavern where the fish, sparkling water , and gems and jewels awaited him when he saw his first mine light he sped up when he reached the lake the fish were drifting happily across the water the man made sure the grizzly was gone before he let the fish back out he enjoyed a drink at the spring before he went back up to his post for a few hours. When he was finished he went upstairs and went to sleep. He woke up to a warm breeze drifting lazily through his window and he knew he had saved all of the fish he lived along side with.

My ears started to pop as my 19-year-old brother and I climbed in elevation. I’m a 21-year-old girl with dark brown hair. Chris, my brother moved in with me when he started collage. Ever since we’ve gone on as many outdoors adventures s possible.

Today Chris and I were climbing a 500 ft mountain and spending the night in a tent just below the summit. We’ve been hiking for almost 3 hours when we stopped to eat are first PBJ sandwich. After our first meal we kept hiking.

* * *

It was 7 when we reached the top. We looked down over a valley and a small hill. Chris and I started to look for a place to set up camp. After 5 hours of hiking we fell asleep in our cloths after setting up the tent and rolling out the sleeping bags. We forgot all about eating our second PBJ sandwiches in Chris’s backpack

* * *

When I woke up Chris was still asleep. I looked at my watch to see it was 8:30. I woke up Chris to tell him that we needed to start packing up and heading home. We rolled up our sleeping bags and tied the strings around them. We crawled out side and found Chris’s backpack torn to shreds. We looked at each other and decided that we needed to get the heck out of there. We took down our tent in10 minutes and shoved it in its bag. We started off with no breakfast because something had eaten it.

The Fishing Trip - Jessica

“Grandpa, hurry up!” called 7-year-old Frilla over her shoulder as she joyfully skipped down Turrett Road. Frilla and her grandpa were going fishing at Lake Mariah over Spring Break, and she was practically jumping with excitement. Grandpa Lanen walked quickly up to his granddaughter and put his arm around her shoulder to calm her down, but it didn’t do much good.

“Can you believe it? My very first fishing trip! I can’t wait to catch a fish!” she exulted.

“Frilla, remember, you must be patient to catch a fish. It is not all fun and games, you know. If you are jiggling and wiggling as you are now, all the fish will be scared away,” Grandpa warned for about the hundredth time.

Frilla stopped jumping and walked solemnly and silently next to her grandfather, but in less than three seconds she erupted in giggles again, “Oh, we’re going to have so much fun!”

Finally they reached Lake Mariah’s dock. A brown wooden dinghy sat in the water, tied up to the dock by a thick red and blue striped rope.

“Here it is,” Grandpa announced, “The Peacemaker.” Frilla leaped into it and it rocked precariously from side to side. She quickly jumped out again, biting her nails nervously.

“Are you sure it’s safe?” she asked worriedly.

“Yes, I am sure,” Grandpa Lanen chuckled at her foolishness of jumping, not stepping, into the boat. He stopped the boat with one hand and helped Frilla into it with the other. He laid the rods and bait in the bottom of it, stepped in, picked up the oars, and cast off into the sparkling blue waters of the lake. He paddled around for a bit, looking for a quiet place to fish, while Frilla peered eagerly over the side of the boat for fish, nervousness forgotten.

Untitled - Paris

In Alaska Bob struggled to catch a piranha. He fought hard but it fought back. With all his might he reeled it in. Then it ran out of water and died. He did it to get food for his tribe. His tribe had a big BBQ. They had lots of meat. But first they pulled out the teeth and gave them as a necklace to Bob. To this day Bob catches more fish but with a spear. His tribe lives on fish, deer, and more. But, one day Bob got blown up by a grenade, from an angry, tribe that was mad at him for taking all the fish. Then the tribe ransacked the village and took all the fresh fish and left the rotten fish for them. The tribe left and Bob lived!!! Bob was a great hunter and warrior but he could not fight or hunt with the injuries. The other tribe had hated him for taking all the food and wining in all the battles. Later that day Bob died :(

A Fisherman's Nightmare - Jeremy

I am a 29-year-old fisherman here is one of my scary nightmares. One time I was fishing and I brought six fishing poles. Then I went to the center of Lake Michigan in my boat the mountain Hugger. I could tell the center was a hot spot because I could see the ripples that the fish had left behind. So I put in two fishing poles and I caught 2 fish then I put the rest of the fishing poles in the water. Then a few minutes later I caught six fish at a time. Then I had to reel them in and weigh them, I’ll tell you this they each weighed 15 pounds. Then I went home to put them in the freezer. Then I went back to my hot spot and I found someone fishing in my hot spot. I was so mad that I pulled a grenade out of my pocket and threw it at the other boat BOOM it blew up!! Then I moved back to my spot and put my poles back out. I ended up catching 36 more fish. Then I went back home and accidently left the fish in the boat. Then I went to bed. When I woke up I felt terrible I went to take a shower and I discovered that I had fish guts all over my face then I went to look in my boat where I left my fish there were no fish in my boat or my freezer. Then I went straight back to the lake and to my hot spot. Over 5 hours all I caught was seaweed. Then I herd a thud then I herd water rush into my boat I was sinking!! NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I yelled then I swam all the way back to the shore so I couldn’t get eaten.

Mount Everest - Paige

Nakiya had just gotten to Mount Everest. She and her 3 little sisters Grace, Chloe, and Sophia were going to hike it in 3 hours. Their friend Bella Collen had just arrived. “Ready to go?” She asked. “On 3” Said Nakiya “1,2,3!”

They were halfway up when they heard something. “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” “Sophia!” Shouted Grace. She was rolling down the mountain and landed in the rocks. “We have to down,” Said Bella. “Well duh,” Said Nakiya

Nakiya called 911 at the bottom. “Goodbye Sophia,” Said Chloe. “See you later,” Answered Sophia.

3 days later the 4 girls saw Sophia. She was wrapped from head to toe in bandages. She had a cast on her right arm, her left leg and her neck. “She’ll have to stay for 4 months,” Said the doctor

In 4 months she was out. She could bend her arm so she could use crutches, but she had to eat soft foods. Now she’s fine and happy.

A Wonderful World ~ Blaise

Darkness falls through the sunny, bright forest. The dark fills the forest with night, and fills me with fright. I run to a tall tree, and climbing frantically, I ascend to the top. I try my best not to drop. The whole world surrounds me. There are leaves all around me. I see the moon and the stars. Those trees look so bizarre. And then I realize what a wonderful world we have. Darkness falls through the brightness of the forest.

Untitled - Sheridan

One day I saw one boy taking a picture of another boy that was fishing. The boy that was fishing caught a grate big fish. The boy ate the fish for diner. The fish was blue, black and white and gold. The boy cooked the fish on the stove. He had his friend over to have the fish with him. They found out that the fish was the biggest fish ever. THE END.

They’re punishing me,” thought Linda as she sat on the beach. She got angry just thinking about her parents who brought her here. Out on the glassy water, she heard Gabbie squeal with delight. How could her best friend love water so much? It was deep and cold. In the distance, Linda spotted the shiny white and orange boat with Gabbie being pulled in a tube. Gabbie’s short, frizzled hair had been blown back from the wind. A gentle hand on her shoulder disturbed Linda’s thoughts. Her brother Joeden, tall and tan, kneeled down and took her hand.

“Come on Linda. Go on the water. Just this once. It’ll be fun. I mean, look how much fun Jaden and Gabbie are having.”

As if to prove his point, the two on the tube shrieked. If she didn’t go, he would never give her a moment of peace. Linda rolled her dark blue eyes.

“Alright,” she huffed, “but just his once.”

“Just this once,” her brother agreed with a grin.

“Ok cross your legs-yeah like that. Now grip these handles, see the finger marks there, and don’t let go. Got it?” Jaden reached over and snapped her life jacket. “Ok let’s roll!”

Gabbie gave Linda a thumbs up. Joeden gave her a pat on the back. Linda felt like she might hurl.

A humongous force hit her like a tidal wave as the boat shot off. Linda screamed as she gripped the handles so hard her knuckles turned white. Not like she would have noticed since her eyes were closed. Her only thoughts were that this was crazy and how sad she was that she never tasted tomato soup before she died.

When she finally opened her eyes and found that she was NOT dead, Linda actually started to have fun. She enjoyed the way the water dipped and rolled and how the water seemed to sparkle in the light. Linda even let out a “whoohoo” once.

When they got back to the beach, Joeden and Gabbie were waiting with a towel and ice cream.

“How was it?” Gabbie asked eagerly.

“I loved it!” exclaimed Linda with a smile. “Let’s go again after lunch.”
