Original Stories
The Left Side of Time
by Mira, age 11, Tennessee
Dig through the left side of time:
Run through the palace of rhyme,
Seeing the sights and lighting the lights,
Smelling the sea in the pile of dirt;
Wind on your way, pick up a blue shirt;
Fly with the eagles and fly with the stars;
Two miles north and hit Mars;
Smell like a cowboy and head west,
Singing the song of the challenger dress;
Go backwards and hit the palace of rhyme,
Now go through that hole in the left side of time
Fitix vs. Mosquito

Hey! I'm going to the park! Oh no! Mosquitos!

Then got on land, closed the door, locked it, and goed inside. “RUFF, RUFF, RUFF! UHH! Alien spaceships are outside! Oh no!” She telled her Mom, “Mom! There’s alien spaceships outside!” “Don’t go outside!” said Mom. She didn’t go outside. She eated the picnic inside and then she had a relaxing day. And they were so so so so great. In one second, she was sleeping at night time and she heard something opening the door and nothing was there. She looked downstairs, but nothing was downstairs. She looked in Mommy’s bedroom, but she didn’t see anything. The doggy looked upstairs and downstairs, but nobody was there. OH NO! That’s the end.
The Dinosaur That Did Karate
by Greyson, age 8, California
The Dinosaur named Metal Jaw took a karate class and got a black belt right away. Metal Jaw was happy that he got a black belt but he was confused. It usually goes white belt, then yellow belt, then orange belt, then purple belt, then blue belt, and then black belt. The teacher named Greyson forgot. Metal Jaw asked why and Greyson said he forgot. So Greyson got in trouble. bububuuuuuuu (trouble sound) the teacher Greyson got back to white belt but he knew all of the karate moves so he got his black belt back very fast. Metal Jaw is now his favorite student. ROAR!! Dinosaurs are honest at Karate. The End.
