WIND The wind it is a lively thing; It tosses and pitches, And sweeps across the grass Picking up leaves as it goes. The wind is sometimes wild And sometimes gentle. Harold Joseph [ 23 ]

THE LITTLE LOST ORNAMENT One day an ornament got lost in the tree. He just couldn ' t find a way out of the tree. He tried the Tree Freeway, but that wasn ' t the way out. He took the Tree Tollway, but that wasn ' t the way out. He drove around so much that he had to pay the toll 1000 times, and that -didn ' t help him a bit! Then something awful happened! He lost his way again and fell out of the tree! Well, he rolled over to the trunk of the tree. There was a button at the bottom of the trunk. He push- ed the button and a tiny elevator came zooming down. The ornament got in the elevator and went zooming up again. Up, up, up he went until he got to the top. And there, right in front of him stood the branch which he was hooked onto. But there was someone else in his place. Move! said the little ornament. No! said the other orna- ment. But the little orament pushed and shoved until he got his place back. So then to top off his day, the bright star on the top of the tree started to scold him for being late. You are late for the party! she said in a cross voice. But I ' m glad you ' re back anyway! Then after everything was done, the little orna- ment fell sound asleep. Zzzzzzz! was all he could say. Susan Mullins THE STRANGE HORSE One night I put my favorite horse by my bed. I began to dream that my horse came alive; all of a sudden I felt something lapping my face. I open- ed my eyes but nothing was there. It happened again the next night. The next night I could not sleep, and there it was, it was my horse. The next day I trained him and even rode him. How much fun it was riding everyday, jumping, and we even entered horse shows! I got ten blue ribbons, eight red ones, and five loving cups with money in them. My horse was great. He was world famous by now and went on T. V. How I loved my horse: He was wonderful, just wonderful. By now he has 15 ribbons and 10 lov- ing cups. And he will live forever! Thayer Preece [ 22 ]
