She asked me if I ' d come with her. And I said yes. So off we flew. We flew right to London. That ' s where she lived. She took me up to her room and showed me all her magic secrets. She showed me all her pets. She had a cat, a parrot, a magic turtle, and some catfish. I slept at her house. In the morning we had dry fish and turlupumpkin and it was good. We went for a walk and we saw a baby dinosaur. And we took it home. Then we had lunch and guess what we had for lunch. We had a piece of a goose leg and dried up turtle. Then I played with the cat. Soon it was time for bed. When I went upstairs, I was so sleepy that I forgot to take off my clothes. In the morning I asked if she would fly me home and she did. Lisa Skalny Form I (Grade 3) THE WITCH It was the 31st of October when everyone was out dressed in different costumes. But there was one little girl who didn ' t have a costume. Suddenly there came a puff of smoke and a great big broom landed on the carpet. There was a witch, the ugliest you ever saw. But the witch was kind and asked why she was crying. The witch seem- ed to know what was wrong. She picked the little girl up and took her to the castle. The witch dressed the little girl in a black dress, put a cloak on and a hat. Oh little witch! There ' s one more thing, a big nice broom. Now come and let ' s have a little fly before we go trick or treat- ing. They flew over to go to visit some of the witch ' s friends to show the new witch. They all went to the big black pot and danced around. Just then Mary ' s mother called. It was all a dream, it wasn ' t Halloween, it was only the middle of July and there was no black dress, no cape, hat, or broom. There was only Mary ' s mother calling: You ' re late for school .

As I sat on a lonely beach Watching gulls swooping and butterflies Which only today, this peaceful day. Show a mixture of grace and loveliness. Why today, should you ask, is it that everything Yes, everything, seems so sweet that nothing Could destroy it? This peaceful time, A lovely time, which is everlasting and fine. No answer could be given for a question so hard. So please stop and listen: It ' s a time of peaceful bliss, A time of lasting pleasure. . . Diana Riesman Upper II, Gumming House CHRISTMAS NIGHT The snow lay softly on the ground. The world was silent, not a sound. Except for the sound of Christmas songs near That little children sang so clear. The lights twinkled brightly on each tree. And every child was full of glee, As they opened each present with such great joy. To see their gift, perhaps a toy. The fire crackled, the sparks flew up. Mother looked at her present, some brand new cups. Father looked at his gift; it was nice indeed, That on Christmas Eve, no one was filled with greed! Louise Benjamin Upper II, Ross House

SNOW CANUTE The snow is a delicate feature. Tawny leaves are gone. The world is a scary silence When the glittering snow comes. The snow comes rushing down. The snow is glittering white. It comes in many shapes When the glittering snow comes. Andrea Jackson Form II Canute a brave and good king. Was walking out one day. He saw a fierce dragon beast. And then he rode away. At the castle he did find. His brave and trusty dog. He needed knights to fight away. This fierce big dragon hog. They rode away to fight the beast. The dog and the nine knights. They fought and fought till he was dead. Glory had the king that night. WINTER Anthea Liontos Form II All the leaves gather up together. The snow falls lightly to the ground. The wind starts to blow. Oh! what a sound. The water makes big waves. That jump up and down. The wind makes a never ending song That lasts and lasts all day long. Jennifer Elias Upper I WINTER Winter is galloping in At full pace; The snow is coming down fast; It ' s almost a race Between autumn and winter. A snowy cold hand pinches my face. 000 it hurts; It ' s white as snow and it ' s cold like ice, 1 wish it ' d go and spring would come. Susan Konopko Form II TWO KNIGHTS A king once had a noble knight, More noble than the others. Together they fought in many fights Winning every one. One fight they almost did not win. It was against a dragon. This dragon was the only one That almost won a battle. Together they fought for many years Until a dreadful day When this faithful knight, this noble knight Came to the end of his days. He was killed among the rushes By a terrible black knight. The king would not believe this Until he saw the sight. Shanola Jayasakesa Form II TALL AS THE STARS I know of a beautiful maple tree, that is now awake, alive, and free. But soon the youth of it will be dead, from that awful mean old frost. It was at one time dazzling with colour, swaying in the wind with its coat all crumpled. But now the forest is dark from its merry laughter. Oh! but now this tree has a coat of glisting white. . . from that awful dreaded winter. Janet Hardy Upper I JUNIOR LITERARY
