27 Mrs. TurtIe's Tea Party One Saturday morning Mrs. Turtle got up bright and early. She was having a tea party and had to go and get some bugs and flies to eat at the party. She was inviting Mrs. Ioan Toad and Mrs. Heather Frog, and all the rest of the frogs in the town of Muddy Water to her party. She didn't know what to use as a table so she decided to use the backs of her child- ren. She went outside to get them and told them that she would have to use them as a table. She set the table, then she heard a ring at the door. There in the doorway were guests. When they sat down to eat, one of the children sneezed and all the dishes went all over the floor and some were broken. That was the end of the party. Everyone felt sorry for Mrs. Turtle be- cause some of her good dishes were broken. They had a meeting and all the guests got her a cup and a saucer. They had a party and gave her their presents.

As the little golliwog watched the water go by, his little head began to nod, and then he went to sleep. He dreamed that he was walking slowly through the woods. lust then he saw tiny people moving among the leaves, they were fairies. Each fairy had a tiny pot of paint and a paint brush. The fairies painted some leaves red, some yellow and some gold. Suddenly a fish jumped in the stream and made such a splash that it wakened the golli- wog. He saw that all the leaves were green. Then he stood up and went to look for the pots and brushes and the fairies, but he could not find them. He knew that he had been dreaming. SUSAN DANIELS-Grade III At The Beach One day the sun was shining. A boy and girl were at the beach. They were playing in the sand and they were swimming in the water. It was warm that day so the little girl went swimming in the water, and the boy started to make a sandcastle. He put big and little stones around the sandcastle. Then, when he had finished it, he called to the little girl, Susan, Susan, come on and see my castle. Susan came in from the water and looked at the castle. She said, That's nice! Then they went home together. SIGNEY STEWART-Grade I Oh me, the cat, Oh me, the pup Can go out in the cold And not button up. LEAGH PHILLIPS-Grade II An Exciting Day One day a boy and a girl went out in the woods. They took with them their kite. While the boy went to get his bike the girl stood by the kite. Then she threw it up in the air and she held on to the string and the wind carried her away. When the boy came back he saw that his kite and his sister were gone. He looked to his right, he looked to his left, but he could not see the kite or his sister. Then he looked up into the sky, and he saw his sister and the kite. He called to his sister and said, I will help you get down. He fetched his father with a heli- copter and a rope and they got her down. BARBARA ASHDOWN-Grade I

Suddenly Golly heard a loud noise. He speedily dressed and ran outside. Then he saw a Flying Saucer lying in the orchard. He saw a little green man standing beside the Flying Saucer. ' When Golly asked him where he came from, he said, 'A I come from Venus. Then he asked Golly whether he would like a ride in the Flying Saucer. Golly cried, Oh I'd love to. So he climbed in. There was a loud whirring noise and off they started. Suddenly they landed. They were on Venus. Green men came running from every direction. The green man showed them what he had brought from earth. They said they didnt like him. They charged at him and he started to run. Help, Help, he shouted. Suddenly he felt himself falling. Wake up. dear, he heard somebody call. He woke up to findhis mother leaning anxiously over him. Then he told her all about his dream and she laughed. HI know somebody who musn't watch T.V. tonight, she said. CAROL WARDILL-Grade IV I Wonder Why I wonder why we sleep at night, And wake up in the morning light. I wonder why the sky is blue, And why I am not like you. I wonder why the birds can fly, And we canft sail up in the sky. I wonder how the bee makes honey, And why the monkey is so funny. I think of these things every day, When at school and when at play. I want to find out why before I have to wonder anymore. DARCY McKEAG-Grade III Shadows When I go to bed at night Mother turns on a dim hall light. And everyone who passes by Makes a shadow past my eyes. Some look like a giant's stride So under the covers I quickly hide. Some look like fairies gay Dancing, dancing all the way. I see so many lovely things Like crowns and jewels, queens and kings And as I lie and count the sheep, I grow so tired I fall asleep. MILO SPOONER-Grade III Over The Hill A little girl and her dog wanted to go sliding with their sleigh. There was a little hill about a mile away where there was a good slide. The girl's name was Mary and her dog was called Snowball, because he was so white. Mary took her sleigh and ,Snowball was running beside her. They walked along till they reached the hill. Over the hill they went to the slide. They had lots of fun slid- ing until the sleigh bumped into a tree. Mary tried to stand up but her leg hurt too much. She began to cry. Snowball ran around Mary but she wouldnt play so he knew something was wrong. He ran home and barked at the door. Mother opened the door and Snowball tugged and pulled at her skirt until she fol- lowed him all the way over the hill. When she saw Mary crying mother picked her up and took her home. She called the doctor. He found her leg was broken. At supper Snowball had the best supper of all for being such a good dog. NANCY RUSSELL-Grade III Over The Hill Up the hill we run and play All upon a winter's day. Down we go upon our sleigh Laughing, laughing all the way. When we get tired, home we go, And mother gives us hot cocoa. After that we have a nap And fall asleep on father's lap. LOUISE NEBBS-Grade III
