ELMER THE DRAGON Elmer wasn ' t an ordinary dragon. Elmer breathed bullets instead of fire. Elmer never liked to hurt anybody. When Elmer saw a bur gler he never tried to kill him. Elmer always shot at legs and arms so he wouldn ' t kill them. Once Elmer killed a burgler and he felt very sad. He did not shoot anybody be- cause he feld so bad. In World War IX Elmer was asked to fight in the war because he would never run out of bullets. America was against Russia in the war. After Elmer got rid of the front lines he needed something to eat. Elmer ate so much that the men had hardly anything to eat, so they couldn ' t fight. Elmer went back and bombed the second line. When Elmer got to the third line he started wrecking it. The Russian men got smart and shot all their am- munition at the dragon and killed it. The men got food and beat the Russians. All the men were sad that Elmer died. They made a monument for him and had a day called Elmer Day. Ned Jessen THE MONSTER OF WHAUKEY-EEKA The monster of Whaukey-Eeka was a very nice monster, and his name was Herman Berban. He was a big but lonely monster, because when he went around trying to make friends with people, they ran away. So all day he sat on the shores of Whaukey- Eeka moaning, Oh why don ' t people like me? One day Herman smelled smoke. (He had a very good sense of smell.) He got up and ran to where the smoke was coming from, and when he got there he saw a big fire. The fire was heading for a town, and Herman knew at once that if the fire reached it, the town would burn down. So he took a big breath and blew out the fire with a mighty blow. Then all the people came to Herman cheering. And from then on Herman was a happy monster. Harold Joseph 16

3a r ah THE CATS HAT I once saw a cat Who played with a hat The hat tumbled over And covered the cat. He scratched a hole And tried to get out. But he was too stout And couldn ' t get out. Along came the wind. As strong as could be, It blew the hat off him So he could be free. Oh! that little cat Was as scared as could be. So he ran in the yard And climbed up a tree.
