Martin Honig PREP THREE | First Prize | THE GIRL AND THE CROW | Once upon a time there was a little girl who was so poor that she had no food. On day she went out in the woods to look for food.

Will you show me where I can find some? You can find some right here , laughed the crow. He really meant it, but Karen couldn ' see it, (for she did not know that the crow was magic.)

I saw the flowers and the trees. And heard the buzz of busy bees. Once I went to smell a flower. Then I began to see its power. It began to nip me hard, And I went running round the yard. Time went slowly through the spring, And I began to notice things. But of all the flowers and the trees, The best of all was the evening breeze. After I composed this rhyme, I went outside to have a lovely time. Then I thought of all the things, That I could see in the beautiful spring. Jennifer Thompson 34
