SAMARA 17 The Big House Once upon a time there was a terrible witch, and she lived in a big house. She loved to catch children. Children did not like that terrible witch at all. Children were afraid of that witch. All at once she saw a child go past the house and she ran out to try and catch the child. But the child ran and ran. Sheila Embleton, Age 5, Transition The Fairies The Fairies are such pretty things. They dance and, sing all day. Thev have such lovely, silver wings. Oh! how I ' d love to see them play! Carolyn Smart A Day at Camp Fortune Camp Fortune is a very nice place to ski. The hills have just the right amount of snow to ski on. Some of the hills are steep, so they have tows to pull you up. The hills for tiny tots don ' t have tows as they can easily get up themselves. Every Saturday I go there with my father. At one-thirty I have my ski lesson. I hate having my ski lesson as I get cold so quickly. This is because I have to wait for the others to have their turns. Sometimes the ski teacher won ' t let me go to the lodge to warm up. At the ski lesson I learn things like the kick turn and the snow plough and how to stop. After the ski lesson we say good-bye to our teacher and wait until the next Satur- day. The subjects in the ski lesson may be familiar to you but they are not to me. I am hoping that some day I will learn all the cor- rect thinks to do and so be a good skier. Cathy A IacLaren, Form III The Things I Dislike I don ' t like apple pie. I do not like apples or cooked carrots, fish or mushrooms. I can ' t bear to hear about them as they are so ter- rible. I dcn ' t like cake or ice cream. Some things I do not like at all and some I just dis- like a little. One day when I came home from school I asked, What ' s for supper? The answer was one of the things I hated the most, apple pie. Sometimes I have to go to bed early and that is one of the things I dislike more than anything. I do not like it when my father says I can not watch television. Some- times when I want to go to my friend ' s house the answer is no. These are a few things I dislike. Vesna Milatovic, Form II The New Dress One day Aiummy took me to the store. She knew I needed a new party dress. And there was going to be a party. We went to the dress floor and A4ummy looked at the dresses. Then she saw a beautiful dress. She asked the lady how much it cost. But she said it was already sold. I was very disappointed because I did like the dress. At two o ' clock the telephone rang. It was the lady at the store. She said we could have the dress. I was so happy. At six o ' clock the dress came. I got dressed and did my hair. At eight o ' clock the guests came. Everyone said it was the nicest dress they had ever seen. And I had worn my dress for the first time. Carolyn Smart, Form III The Concert We went to a concert at Rockcliffe Public School. We had lots of fun listening to the nice music. All the pieces were very good, but we liked the march about the soldiers best. The instruments were all very interest- ing, and the conductor told us about them. He also told us about the composers who wrote the music we were to hear. We sat near the front and wondered if the people in the back could see because there was such a big- audience. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. After the concert was over we went home. We talked about the music nearly all the time we were walking home. We hope we will hear it again next year.
