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.

The Great Wise Deer

by Kate, age 8, Pennsylvania

There was a tree so tall and grand
That everyone lent a hand.
Chipmunks scurried up and down.
Birds sang high and low
To the deer and the doe.
But then someone chopped the tree down.
Now everyone wears a permanent frown.
But the Great Wise Deer came down.
“So plant a new tree if you’re so sad.”
“Like you said, everyone lend a hand.”
And so they did.

Chippy the Salsanoloist

by Blaise and Lachlan, Virginia

Once upon a time, Chippy the Salsanologist was visiting Mt. Salsano. He was there because it was about to erupt! He traveled over using his chip self as the sail for his boat.

When it erupted, Chippy discovered he wasn’t injured! He figured out he was lava-proof and that the lava was actually salsa!

He called his chip friends over to have a chip party.

At the chip party, they ate fresh salsa tacos. They wore bucket hats to catch the salsa lava! They built houses with a chiplift (“Hehe, get it?” said one of the Chippies) with the dried salsa-lava. They also built pipes for the salsa to flow through their town which led to their houses. Salsa came out of the faucets after being cooled for snacks and special drinks. And the warm salsa powered the town. Chippy built a salsa plant!

Then Chippy had another salsa party on Mt. Salsano. Salsa street fire hydrants blew salsa and another hydrant blew toppings and were aimed perfectly so they hit the taco table. Chippy realized the hydrant broke off a part of his chip and that he could regrow it!

Chippy discovered a new building material!

Chippy helped build other chips’ new houses. They could bite the chip walls to eat them with the salsa and they regrew in seconds! So they used a wrecking ball to knock down the old houses and tossed the pieces back into the hot lava. These turned into a new colored salsa and they made a second pipe to go to the houses. It was a different flavored salsa! Of course!

Chippy built a salsa well on Mt. Salsano. His chip friends carved out walls and dipped them in the salsa well. Yum!

Chippy built a new school to teach Chip Jrs. how to build with the chips.

Now all the chips have red and black salsa and have a mix of so many flavors and they loved it so much so they kept on making it.

And the Chippys ate happily ever after. (“Hehe, get it?”)

Lillie: Hey, Dad!

Dad: Hey, Lillie!

Mom: Oliver, what is that in your arms?

The Case of the Missing Quadrilateral Statue

by Oliver, age 7, Ohio

One day in a museum people were excited to see a new exhibit- the Quadrilateral creature. In case you're wondering what it looks like, it's like a human but no body, no hands, and no arms. But when the thing was opened the giant statue was missing! The museum guard who was doing the tour for the new exhibit said they had to wait until the statue was returned. Someone from the crowd said they were a detective and they could find the statue. They said the first clue was to find footprints that would lead right to it. The guard said he would leave her to it. There were footprints but they were no ordinary footprints- they were in the shape of feet not shoes! The footprints were paint and they checked to see if the paint was wet or dry. It was dry so they said the robbery was last night. The trail led them to a broken window and then when they went through the broken glass they were led to a... pigeon?!?

The person investigating left. The pigeon began to chuckle and then laugh. Because it wasn't a pigeon. It was a costume. It was a... capybara?!? A few weeks later the detective went back and the capybara was waiting. This time it was caught on camera. The capybara was arrested and that's when it was revealed that it was REALLY a quadrilateral creature! And then it said, "I just wanted the statue because it looked so good. Also, we still exist. There's a whole tribe of us who live in your village. But I'm so quiet you didn't even notice that." And then the case was closed and the humans and quadrilaterals lived in peace forever. Oh and by the way- case closed! Yay!

Shape Island

by Austin, age 11, Texas

Once, there was a Pre-K class, and one day they were learning shapes. "Ok, class, grab your journal and pencil and copy the shapes on the board..." After the class looked at a few shapes, a boy named Cory said to his teacher, "Can I go get a shapes book?" When she said yes, Cory went to the bookshelf and picked up a shape book. When he flipped to the first page and touched a shape, he was sucked into the book onto an island."Whoaaa!" "What is this place?" Cory said when he landed. Then a triangle popped out of nowhere and said "Hi! I'm Polygon, but you can call me Poly. Welcome to Shape Island!" "Where?" "Hm? Wait, you know about this place?" Poly said. "Oh well. Would you like a tour?" Poly asked. "Sure, I guess." Cory replied, as Poly led Cory around the island. "This is the grocery store, this is the bakery, and this is the toy store with its best-selling building blocks." About an hour later when Cory and Poly were at the bookstore, when Cory grabbed another book, he started getting sucked into the book like earlier, only slower. "Oh well. See ya, Poly!" "Bye, Cory! Come back soon!" About a second later, Cory was back in his classroom. "Oh, Cory, that book you're holding? It also acts as a portal to a place called..." "Shape Island." They both said. "Yeah. I know." Cory said. "Oh. Ok. Can you take your seat now?" "Alright." Cory said as he took his seat.

The Highest Bidder

by Liam, age 12, Wisconisin

Disclaimer:

DO NOT DO THIS.

It was a fine time at the auction. The richest people would come to buy stuff that they could just buy online for less, but no. They gotta go to an AUCTION. I should stop ranting about auctions, and move along. Anyway, the auctioneer brings out the item. A box of chickens. Why were chickens in a box?? NO REASON. Anyway, nobody wanted to buy it! Except for one man. "$200." He says, out of his seat. The auctioneer looks around. No one else is bidding. "Well since no one else is bi-" He is stopped. "Too low?? I got this. $200, and my shoe." Everyone is frozen in shock. "Uh, we don't need your sho-" Stopped again. "$200, my shoe, and my penguin. His name is penguini." A very fancy, very dignified, penguin walked out, as everyone said "That's a cool penguin!" Penguini quacked. "I'll even throw in this tiny piano!" He adds, pulling a piano out of his pocket. The auctioneer is at a loss for words, but he speaks. "Well, you certainly get th-" Once again, stopped. "You drive a hard bargain! I'll go higher! I'll throw in the concept of a perfect circle!" Everyone gasped. "A PERFECT CIRC-" STOPPED AGAIN!! "Ok, fine." The bidder says. Boss music starts playing in the distance. "$200, my shoe, penguini, THE CONCEPT OF A PERFECT CIRCLE......and my dinosaur." Everyone gasped. Shocked. Once again, the auctioneer spoke, “WW-where is he?” He quivers. “Oh, he’s here right now.” Just then, A GIANT T-REX SMASHES THROUGH THE BUILDING AND SHOOTS ITS LASER EYES EVERYWHERE! Everyone leaves. “Did I win the auction?” The bidder asks.
