All Because I Bit My Knee
by Tobias, age 10, Oregon
I did a flip on the trampoline
I hit my face and then my knee
I bit my knee
I bit my knee
All because I bit my knee
I cried and cried and cried, "wee, wee!"
I need some bandages and some cream
I bit my knee
I bit my knee
All because I bit my knee
When I got home I said, "Daddy please,
I need some bandages and cream.
I bit my knee,
I bit my knee,
All because I bit my knee."
Then I got some bandages and cream
I told my parents about my knee, you see
I bit my knee
I bit my knee
All because I bit my knee.

The W And Its Friends
by 6-year-old Charlie in New Jersey
There was a W. It went “wuh wuh wuh, wuwuwuwuwuwuh, wuwuwuwuwuwuh”
It was friends with V and M and U.
The friends W, V, M, and U liked to play together on the playground. W’s favorite thing on the playground was the monkey bars. The same for V, M, and U. M wasn’t as good at the monkey bars as his friends W, V and U, because he didn’t have long branchy arms like they did on their letters. They like to jump.
One day at the park, they ran into P, who was walking a dog and a cat. The dog was a golden retriever. And a gray and brown and black kitty. And then P asked to be their friend and doggy and kitty asked also to be their friend. So they all did the monkey bars together. And then P did it and W was just so close he only missed one of the monkey bars. There was one left for W.
The End.
