- 9 - IF IF WAS A SEED If I was a seed, I would be an acorn way up on the bop branch of the tallest tree in the world. Once there was a great big storm. The wind was blowing very hard and it wsls raining, lightening, and thimdering all at the same time. I was blown off the branch on which I was grown. Then I fell down, down, dovm. As I fell, I was blown farther and farther away from the tree. I could see that I had blown across two rivers and seven miles of forestland, and I was not anywhere near the ground. I kept falling and blowing for three weeks and three days. Once in a while I could see the ground through little breaks in the clouds . Once I even- saw some other seeds go sailing by me. Finally the wind stopped and I drifted down under thd clouds. VJhen it cleared up, I found I was over Paris. Then some wind came up and blew me back up into the clouds. I finally drifted to earth for good in China. It started to snow, and I rolled into a little hole and went to sleep. When I woke up, I was a full-grown tree. David Saylor, Fo3?m C Age 9.

- 10 THE BEST EASTER EGG IN THE WBLD I was a poor little boy that lived in the middle of nowhere. At least, to me it was the middle of nowhere, for I lived in a hospital and was very sick. I had a private room. One day I was sitting in bed watching street cars go by and wishing I was at home getting ready for Easter, for Easter was getting near. Then and there I sat up in surprise and stared! For X saw a huge bunny hopping into the hospital. He was at least five feet tall. He hopped right into my room. I was so astonished I could do nothing but sit up and stare. Then the bunny spoke. Would you like the best Easter Egg in the world? I had recovered from my astonishiaent . les, I said. Abra-cadabra, said the bunny, and a huge Easter Egg appeared. It was at least ten feet tall. It was pure chocolate with candy inside. I could say nothing. Robert Hirsch, Form C Age 9.
