31 T HE BOY IN THE BLIZZARD By Joane Sorba 9 -13 31 The blizzard was gradually getting worse. Out on the prairie, a few miles from town, John Martin was glad that he was safe in his cabin from the horrible blizzard. While preparing his supper John heard a funny noise at the door. It startled him. At first he thought it was just the wind roaring and howling about his door, but a moment or two later it began to get louder and more distinct. It sounded like pawing. Curious, he opened the door. In bounded a small brown dog, white with snow. The dog leaped excitedljr at John and grabbing his pant leg between his teeth, he yanked John to the still wide open door. John, understanding that the cute little dog wanted John to follow him, did so, first wrapping his jacket about him and grabbing his cap. Out into the blizzard he strode and oh, what a terrible blizzard it was I The wild north wind howled and whistled about him. The wind was hurling snow in every direction making it very hard to see ahead, John blindly followed the dog. Finally, after a most tiresome walk which seemed to take quite long, but was only several yards, he reached a hidden, lonely spot where he found a little boy lying in the snow, half-frozen. He picked the boy up and carefully carried him into the cabin, John placed the boy in a warm bed near a cozy fire and then heated some food for the boy and the dog, THE IOST NECKLACE By Heather Robb One day Tom ' s aunt called him upstairs. When he got upstairs his aunt said, Tom, my pearl necklace is missing. Have you seen it? No, I haven ' t, replied Tom, Well , said Aunt Jane, it is a very valuable necklace and wc must find it . They searched Tom’s aunt ' s room but it was nowhere in sight, Tom said, Are you sure it is not in your jewel box or in one of your drawers? But his aunt was positive that it wasn ' t. Tom willingly helped his aunt to search all the rooms including the basement and the attic, but they couldn’t find it. They had searched every room in the house, but they researched them. When Tom came to his aunt’s room he slowly lifted the top of her jewel box, hoping against hope that the necklace would be there, but it wasn’t. That night, while they were eating, Tom noticed something around his aunt’s neck. He walked over to her and pulled it out. His aunt looked down with a surprised face. When she saw what Tom had ' pulled out from under her collar, she cried with joy. It was her pearl necklace! She had been wearing it all that time!
