The Pinecone That Wanted to be a Cow Boy (Literally)

A Thanksgiving Story

by Maya, age 9, Delaware

Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving! I had no idea what the word meant, but it was everywhere! The farmer, his wife, their three children, everyone was talking about it! I decided to ask the farm car what it was and settle this. He broke into a fit of laughing when I asked.

“You’re such a turkey!” he howled.

I stared down at my feathers, beak, and tail.

“Well, you’re right about that,” I said, confused.

He was laughing too hard to talk now.

“Thanksgiving,” he said through his giggles, “is when they turkeys.”

My beak dropped open. I ran through the chicken coop and cow pen like a…well, like a turkey!

“What is up with you?” a cow said calmly.

“GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!” I screamed frantically.

****

“Okay, so…” I drew a line in the dirt. I was with my friend, the barn owl. “The hot chilis are here. I’m here. If I …”

“Those chilis are just way too hot,” my friend interrupted.

“That’s the plan!” I exclaimed. “These chilis are hot enough to blow me to the moon! I’ll come back after Thanksgiving.”

“Too hot,” the barn owl repeated.

“Well, I -”

“WAIT!” said the barn owl. “There’s one thing you should know!”

“No time!” I said, running towards the crops.

I plucked a plump pepper prestigiously. I stuffed it in my beak. “Gobble!” I shrieked. It was SO spicy! My feathers turned red, but I didn’t blow to the moon. The spice was what I was worried about now.

****

There was one last thing left to do. I had tried everything, from trampolines to gummy bears. I had to convince the farmer to eat something else. I stole a ham and cheese sandwich and carried it to the farmhouse’s front door. I rang the doorbell. The farmer’s wife answered.

“Hello?” she said.

I held out the sandwich in my beak.

“Oh, for me? Sorry, but we’re vegetarian.”

Peanut Butter Smothies

by Matilda, age 9, Vermont
(note: the story has a Puppy, but Matilda doesn’t know what the name of the Puppy is yet. So Puppy is the placeholder)

Doggles is a fast food restaurant for dogs. However, in this universe, dogs can drive (dogs take the place of humans).

Two huskies – Puppy and Dad – are at the drive through. (Mom is at a conference in San Fran-barkso).

The speaker clicks on: “Welcome to Doggles, what would you like?”

“Uuuu mmmmmmm,” says Dad.

“a kibble burger, and a peanut butter smoothie!” says Puppy.

“I’m the Dad – I order what I want you to get!”

“Oh, come on!”

“Can this little one please have a treat meal with um one small kibble burger and a ummm..”

“Nothing else?” says the speaker.

“And a bag of small treats.”

“Is that all? Anything for you?”

“Oh yes of course… I will take a salmon burger with a cup of peanut butter flavored water.” (he’s a dog – don’t mind the peanut butter flavored water)

“Coming right up!”

“Dad! I wanted a peanut butter smoothie!”

“Oh sorry, honey um…someone else needs to order, we need to go down to the next window.”

“Here’s your food!”

“Thank you here’s the money. Come on honey we need to get home.”

“Ok Daddy but next time can you get me the peanut butter smoothie?”

“We’ll see.”

“Ok Daddy.”

Later at their house after the finished their food….

“Honey, get in the car I am bringing you somewhere.”

“Where Daddy where?”

“It’s a surprise, come on.”

They are in the car for half an hour when… she says, “ On the way home from this, can you get me a peanut butter smoothie?”

Then she sees it. “Oh. My. GOD.” There is a big building with pillars at least as tall as two of their house put together in all different colors in rainbow order. (we know dogs are kind of sort of color blind, but we’re not sure how to deal with this particular scenario).

Puppy says, “Daddy, is this our stop?”

“Yes, honey.”

“What’s in there? What’s in there?”

“It’s a surprise of course.”

As they walk inside, she sees something almost magical. It looked like a playground, but it wasn’t exactly a playground.

So she gets on the big rainbow playground-looking thing, and then it exteeends up and stops abruptly at a cloud. She is still young, so she doesn't know that you can fall right through a cloud, so she starts to walk onto the cloud, and it is completely solid!!! So she sees this big table and tries to climb on it, but it extends, extends, extends exteeends! Once the table is extended, big, large stairs pop up to the top of the table. So she walks up the stairs that appear, and there is a big table of peanut butter smoothies!!!

And then her Dad came up and said, “Drink all you want.”

The Puppy says, “Wait, don’t say it, don’t say it!”

And then he screams: “The end.”

How to Make Grilled Peaches

by Hannah, age 9. New York

The first step to making grilled peaches is to take all the cushions off your couch. Next, you need to pull out the vampire grill. But obviously the vampire grill only works at night. So, if you want grilled peaches during the day, you need to do this.

First grill the peaches at night. Then, when they are ready put them in a container. After this, you are going to need to heat them back up. So, what you are going to need to do is 1) put your container full of grill peaches in the middle of your living room, 2) draw a demon circle around it, 3) you need to make sure the demon doesn't attack you so you need to use your sweater to cover your head and then rub flowers all over you so demon can't smell you. 4) ok, now you have warmed up the peaches. But in the process you burned your whole living room.

So, you need to go to the demon avoidance store. But you need to get demon dollars to spend. To get demon dollars, get an ordinary penny and rub it on your butt. Now, you need to get two flowers and poke holes in them to turn them into goggles. Then look at a candy store, it will turn into a demon avoidance store.

At the demon avoidance store, they need to know that the penny you turned into demon dollar is really a demon dollar, so you need to rub it on our butt again. Then go to the "Kioscooooba" (audio attached) and put your butt penny inside the Kioscooooa and exchange it for a demon dollar.

Now go to the living room replenishing aisle and get the living room replenishing spray but make sure it is the living room replenishing aisle, not the hall way replenishing aisle or the bathroom replenishing aisle. Go to the check out and pay using your demon dollar. Go home and spray it all over your living room. Lastly, congratulations, you have got your grilled peaches.

The Blanket That Couldn’t Be Warm

by Elijah, age 7, Washington

It was a cold winter night and Fiddly wanted his favorite blanket, but he couldn't find it anywhere. He searched all over his room and found it under his bunk bed. His sister must have put it there. Fiddly takes his blanket into the living room and relaxes with it on the couch and it randomly starts to get colder. Confused, Fiddly calls for his dad to come check it out. His dad takes a look at the blanket and wraps it around himself. He instantly turns to ice. Fiddly runs to his mom and tells her that dad is frozen. His mom laughs, thinking that Fiddly must be joking, but follows him anyway. When they get to the living room, it's snowing! Fiddly's mom rushes over to dad and yanks the blanket off of him. Immediately, Fiddly’s dad unfreezes and is very confused. Wind starts to blow through the house and the snow is getting thicker. The blanket pulls itself from Fiddly's mom's hands and starts to speak. It explains that people have been unkind to it, so it has grown cold. Fiddly gets the idea to say nice words to the blanket to help it warm up. He tells the blanket that it's his favorite and the best blanket ever. He asks the blanket if it could be warm again. The blanket didn't realize that it was Fiddly's favorite. The snow and the wind went away and there was no sign that there was ever snow there to begin with. Fiddly is still cold and wraps himself in the blanket and it is so warm and cozy. He's happy that he could make his blanket feel like itself again. Fiddly says “The End.”

The Strange Green Snow

by Isla, age 9 UK

Drake and Bobby McBobbyson (but we call him Bob for short) are best friends. They were having the

best me of their lives at a sleepover, at Drakes house, when Drake’s mum came in and said “boys, it’s

me to go to bed.”

They fell asleep and woke up to a ginormous fart! “Eeeewww!” they both said at the same me, then

they fell about laughing. Drake gets up and looks out of the window. “Come quickly Bob! It’s snowing,

but the snow is green!” Bob rushes to the window and gasps. He looks at the comic they had been

reading last night called ‘The Day of the Green Snow’.

Drake and Bob decide to go outside to explore. Bob picks up a handful of snow, and to his horror, it

starts wriggling in his hand. “Drake, it’s moving!” he shouts. At that moment, they hear a loud rustling

sound, coming from behind them. They both turn around and they couldn’t believe their eyes.

Standing before them was a big, fat, green snow alien! It turns out, it wasn’t snow at all, it was

actually ny green aliens – and now they were clumping together to make one giant monster alien.

Drake and Bob look at each other and whisper “run!”, and both shoot o running. The monster starts

following them and suddenly they hear an almighty roar. They turn around to look at what’s

happening and see the big giant alien monster eat the house! “Aaaaahhhh!” they shout. They see a

big bush and decide to hide behind it. Bob puts his hand in his pocket and nds the popping candy

that he had put in there yesterday. He had an idea! “Drake, let’s throw the popping candy in to the

monsters mouth”, he said. So they both got their popping candy and threw it in to the big alien

monsters mouth. Then, suddenly, the aliens were popping everywhere – up, down, le right –

everywhere!

The next thing they hear is a li le voice saying “why did you do that?”. Drake and Bob look down and

see lots of li le aliens looking up at them. Bob said “it’s because we don’t want to be eaten by li le

aliens, do we?” The aliens looked sad and said “no, no, no, we’re so sorry. We weren’t trying to eat

you, we were trying to ask you something.” “But why did you eat the house then?” said the boys. “It’s

because when we cough, we eat stu by accident. We’re so sorry” said the aliens. “It’s ok”, said Bob.

“But what did you want to ask us?” “Oh, we wondered if you could help us rebuild our ship?” said the

aliens. “Oh ok”, said Drake, “we’d love to. But rst, please can I have my house back?” The aliens

laughed and said “Yes, of course. Just give us a minute”.

There was a rustling sound again, as all the aliens that were ung everywhere came back to cling on

to the big clump. Then Drake and Bob heard a loud, rumbling sound, followed by the biggest fart

they’d ever heard.

“There’s your house”, said the aliens, with a giggle.

Then one hour later, the big, bad steamroller was in his tummy. “That looked yummy,” another pig said. Then the pig found the big bad steamroller’s brother. Then two hours later he came back. “That’s way more disgusting than it looks,” the pig said. “Now I also need to use the bathroom” He went to his bathroom, but it was also clogged by the world record’s biggest motorcycle, and then he rode on it for 100,000 years. “Wow!” said Tom Pig. “That’s 50,000 more years than I did,” said Tom Pig. “Minus 50,000 years, plus 50,000 years. Hurray! I’m good at math, Tom Pig said. Then he planted a plant and tried to build another house, this time, out of computers. And then he made 12,000 alarm systems in case somebody came into his house.

What Happened to Our Sunscreen? The Story of Moonscreen

by Lena and Harriet, age 7, Canada

What happened to our sunscreen.

The story of moonscreen.

By Harriet and Lena (twins aged 7)

It was a hot and sticky day at the beach. The Rooney family was about to dig into their lunch. The Dad’s name was Rune, the mum was Rin and the kid’s name was Rose. Just as Rose was about to put sunscreen on, a seagull came by and swooped in and took the sunscreen. The seagull thought it was a wrap for lunch. Rose said “oh no! That’s my sunscreen!”

The seagull went back to his den. Once he got there, he noticed that it was sunscreen and not a delicious wrap. He went [spitting/farting sound]. He got mad and decided to play a trick. Then he got ready to fly back when he turned into a magician. And then, he turned the sunscreen into moonscreen. It looked like jello. He flew back as a seagull and gave it back to the Rooneys.

Rose said “Oh finally we have our sunscreen back”. When she opened it she said it looked like jello. Then she looked on the bottle and it said moonscreen and she said “Ahhh!”. Then the seagull turned into a magician once more. He said, “Put that on. It’s getting late in the day and you need to protect yourself from the moon and it’s totally normal. And anyways, it’s going to be a full moon tonight”.

So Rose put it on. Rin and Rune also put it on their whole bodies. But then, their butts started wiggling and they couldn’t stop. They all said “stop doing that, why are you doing that??” They could still walk. Rose said “what the?! It was cursed and he tricked us.” The mum and dad were so scared that they had to run to find something to do with their wiggling butts. They saw a hula hoop competition and they went and they won but there was no prize. Then they saw a dance competition for teams of 3 people. And they danced and danced and danced till they were done and they were so tired. But guess what? They won! And guess what the prize was? Sunscreen! They put on the sunscreen and their butts stopped wiggling. The End.

One tree called the doctor and said, “hi, my name is Banana Pants and me and a forest have been cramping a lot, like since forever!” The doctor’s name was Joey- Jon. “Ok, I’ll be there at 18:00,” he said.

The Mooze

by Ryan, age 5, California

Once upon a sink, there was a bottle of milk that got left in the sink. Three Thursdays later, when the weather was super hot, the milk turned into an ooze. Or a Milk-ooze. Really, it was more of a Mooze.

The Mooze crawled out of the sink, and headed for the pantry. It made all the food in the pantry go bad. Really, really, bad. Better call the Cow Police bad.

When the Cow Captain arrived, it was too late. All the bad food had destroyed the house, and was on the moo-ve into the nearby town.

The mooze had snuck onto the shoe of the boy who lived in the house, and on his walk to school, it decided to escape into the open world.

There was CHAOS happening as The Mooze made popcorn kernels explode, and the roofs of houses went flying into the air. Before The Mooze could take over the whole world, it would have cross the ocean.

In order to stop it before it reached the ocean, everyone summoned the rain, yelling “RAIN FALL, RAIN FALL!” While doing THE rain dance. Until it did.

The Mooze was diluted, and melted into a mooze blob that sank into the ocean floor after it was washed into the sea by a big whirlpool that went all the way down to the bottom of the deepest, darkest trench. (The Mariana Trench)

The Mooze was never heard from again. The humans cheered and cheered until the water drained out, evaporated, and the ooze was officially gone.

The End.
