The Night I Shared a Room with My Sister
by Amelia, age 7, Texas
It was a normal winter day, my mom had a crazy idea (in my opinion). It was... wait drumroll please! Dun dun dun okay now! It was to share a room (with my sister)! Ooof! That was tiring. I think I read at least 100 words. Uh huh!!?? You know about sleeputidus. If you share a room you have it. You know your sibling's snore. Ha ha. That was hilarious! Now back to the moment part. I had a little trouble falling asleep. The next morning I asked my mom, "If I had to sleep with her every night." "Yes!" said my mom. The end!
Dogs with a Secret
by West, age 9, Texas
Once there was two dogs. Their human was called Sarah. And Sarah always fed them the same thing - dog food. Sarah always thought the dogs loved dog food, but the dogs had a big secret. They thought they were forced to eat dog food, which they were. But the secret was that they really wanted popcorn, tomatoes, and all kinds of different foods. Then on a far away galaxy there were aliens, and they were going to planet Earth. Everybody screamed because the aliens were about to smash into Earth. But then, the two dogs scared away the aliens, and they finally got popcorn, tomato, and their every wish. The end.
