The Dad and the Magician

by Amara, age 9, Washington, D.C.

Once upon a time there was a dad and his family. One day the family went to go see a magician. When they got there the magician said welcome everyone to my magic shop. They looked around and saw magic sets and all sorts of stuff. But there was one room that said Fortune Telling. They went inside and they saw a big table with a crystal ball in the middle. The magician said would you like a fortune? They said yes. The mom went first. Her fortune was that she would be a very good cook. Next the child went. Her fortune was that she would save the day. Then it was the dad's turn. His fortune was that he would weird things in his sleep. But he didn't believe it. That night when they went to bed, and he was sleeping, he started to talk and say things like "happy birthday" and "clean the house kids". He was so loud that it woke up the mom. She saw everything and even recorded it. In the morning she showed the dad, he said oh my gosh the magician was right. And they all laughed. The end.

Fred’s Backstory

by Jacob and Sam, South Africa

On Fred's holiday he went to France. While he was there he went to visit the Eiffel tower (he flew). He saw two brown dots on the Eiffel tower he had to investigate quietly. He flew closer to see what it was. He saw that they were moles. He quietly asked "MOLES WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!". "Sorry Mr. Duck" said croissant (the moles names are croissant and butter but they look the same so you can never tell who your talking to) "we were trying to find our home but its very hard to find anything when we can't see very well". And from then they were best friends. Later after Fred escaped the farm he went back to try free the other animals so that they could also taste delicious snack especially popcorn.
