Archie The Ankylosaurus

 Archie was an Ankylosaurus. He was on his way to meet with his friends one day. Since Archie was an Ankylosaurus, his back was tough, and he had a hard club on the back of his tail.

Archie spotted his friends by the cave. “hello everyone!” he yelled. His friends waved at him; they were playing catch the stick. “hello! Catch the stick Archie!” screamed Berry, a Brachiosaurus. She threw the stick at Archie. Archie struggled to move his heavy body to catch the stick, but when the stick landed on his body, it cracked.

“Sorry for ruining the game everyone,” Archie exclaimed. “It’s fine, the game was starting to get boring anyway.” Said an Edmontonia, called Eissi.

Archie felt better. The friends decided to play hide and seek. An Ornithomimus called Orianna was counting. Archie hid behind a bush with all his other friends, Eissi, Berry, and Dixie. “2..1..0! Ready” shouted Orianna.

In the bush where Archie and his friends were hiding, Archie was taking up, a lot of the space. “Move over Archie!” whispered Dixie, a Dilophosaurus. As Archie moved over his club stuck out of the bush.

After a few seconds, Orianna shouted: “Found you!” “Ugh! Archie, this is all your fault! You broke the stick and you got us all caught in hide and seek! You are very bad at playing games!” scolded Dixie. “That’s mean Dixie!” Orianna exclaimed. Dixie didn’t care, she was being mean though.

Archie felt bad that he ruined his friend’s game. “Let’s play catch now!” said Berry, trying to get Archie’s mind of Dixie. Everyone agreed to play catch.

Archie was ‘it’. He had to catch all his other friends. All his friends ran, but Archie couldn’t keep up because of his huge club. It was slowing him down. After a while, Archie didn’t catch anyone. “Ugh! Archie, your so slow! I hate playing with you” Exclaimed Dixie. “Stop being rude Dixie!” demanded Berry. “Well, its true!” Dixie replied.

“Let’s play dino, meat and stone, (which is rock, paper and scissors.)” said Dixie. “But he can’t play!” demanded Dixie. She pointed to Archie. “It’s okay, you can play without me.” Archie said to his other friends.

The friends nodded. They went to the cave, to sit down. Archie sat outside the cave, sad.

Just as Dixie, Berry, Eissi and Orianna started playing, a T-Rex appeared from the other side of the cave! The cave the little dinos were playing in, was a T-Rex’s home!

“Ahhhh! A T-rex!” Screamed the little dinos. “I am going to have you all for supper!” exclaimed the mean T-rex. He was even meaner than Dixie! “Help! Help Archie please!” screamed Orianna.

Archie heard his friends scared roars. Even though he was frightened of T-Rex’s, he was determined to save his friends. Archie marched into the cave, angry. “Go away you naughty

T-Rex!” He demanded. The T-rex cackled evilly. He came closer and closer to Archie. “Use your tail to keep him away Archie!” suggested Eissi. “Okay!” Archie whooshed his tail vigorously at the T-rex. “Ow! Owi!” exclaimed the T-Rex. When the T-Rex touched Archie’s back it hurt his fingers. The T-rex even tried to bite archie’s back, but after he took his first bite all his teeth fell out! Archie didn’t even get a scratch from the T-Rex’s bite.

The mean T-Rex ran away crying and scared.

“You saved us Archie!” exclaimed Eissi. “Thank you Archie!” said Berry. “Yes, Thank you ever so much!” exclaimed Orianna. “Thank you Archie! And I’m very sorry. I was being really mean and rude. Your tail and hard back are amazing!” Dixie said, gratefully.

“Your welcome, everyone! Now I love my tail and my hard back!” Archie exclaimed delighted. Everyone hugged each other. “Now we can have our supper and not be the T-Rex’s Supper!” exclaimed Orianna. Everyone laughed.

George’s View

 “You might have known I live in a house.” Said George. “Lots of people live in houses, you see.” He said very excitedly with a small and fast wink. “Today I’ll tell you about my house.…. the best house in the world!” Screamed George. “Shhhh George, I am on the phone!”. Whispered mum. She sounded a little frustrated. “Sorry mum,” Giggled George silently. “Let’s go to my room. No one can hear us there.”

George tiptoed to his room. He made up silly karate moves and pretended as if he was a real skilled spy. Once he reached his room, he took a piece of paper out from his drawer. “Now, I am a narrator and you are the listening people. I will tell you about my view of my house! Let’s get started.” He squealed!

“There is a room where we do horrible things like essays, equations and much more, this place is very dangerous. This room is called the, study. In the study we do…do… I don’t know if I can say this, we do homework! If you stay too long in the study, it could lead to death of boredom. Mum says homework doesn’t hurt anyone and that homework is very important…. But I don’t think so. I hate homework.”

“There is a room with a magical box which has people and things in it. The box is called television and the room is called living room. I always wanted to know why it is called ‘LIVING ROOM’. So, here, I, George Hillans from Britain, who is known for having the best house has found the answer for it. The answer is because, without television and a squishy couch, nobody can live and since the television is in the living room, I can live…. simple.” Giggled George. “I am an absolute genius, don’t t’cha think?” giggled George.

“There is one place with candies, cookies and chocolates hidden everywhere. it is a magical land of fairy’s who eat fairy floss for all their courses. A crunchy goldfish which like to swim in a warm glass of milk. Oh! don’t get me started. I am going to skip the rest. But there is a catch at this place. There is a green horrid tree which are known as BROCCOLI!... NO!... THE HORROR! I absolutely hate broccoli. Remember, if you have eaten broccoli, and you like it, there is a huge chance that you have been possessed by it! My sister loves broccoli, so she is a 100% possessed by it. Anyways, this place is called kitchen. It is my 4th favorite place in the whole house. I am sure the kitchen is honored with that place.” George leapt to the next room with glee.

“Now onto my 3rd favorite place…. most people call it scary, but I say it’s cool. You can get your old games or anyone’s games here. Unused trash is also available. I like to say one man’s trash is George’s treasure… I know, a bit cliché…. You also can find silly photos or tapes here. This awesome place is called the basement. Basement is my secret hide out, so of course I love it. We also have an attic, but it is the most gloomy and depressing place in the house and there are rats everywhere, so I hate the attic.

“My second favorite place is where the worst emergencies happen. Where you have to hold it in, but you need to let it out! This place is called the bathroom.”

“Well, I guess it’s time for you all to witness….my most favorite place in this amazing and extravagant house. This room is MY ROOM! It has everything Oh! and I mean everything. The stories I could tell about me and my room will never End!” George said. He then leapt onto his soft and comfy bed.

George suddenly heard his family downstairs. He ran down and questioned mum. “Mum, what happened?” “Ohh...well George,” George’s mum paused. She then continued sadly. “We are moving to a new house near Aunt Linda’s”. “Oh! I see, then what is the matter then?” George asked. “But you love this house and we thought you’d get upset.” Said big sister, Ann with an odd look on her face. “George, are you upset about the fact that we need to move out?” Asked mum calmly. “Not at all.” Giggled George.

The whole family lit up with joy. George went up to his grandma and asked, “Is that your delicious muffins I smell?” Grandma replied joyfully, “Yes George and they are ready to enter everybody’s tummy.” “YAY”, The whole family shouted. George ate his muffin and went upstairs and said,“Well….. there it goes a new adventure to be started. But before I go, remember, Broccoli is evil! Bye for now.”

The yellow deceiver

 As I see the bright yellow lemon, I notice its identical stem ends and its slight shine. But at the same time, I notice its imperfections, its brown scratches, and marks, its wrinkles, and its rough random bumps. The tiny deep spots run about the lemon, by that I can tell that it's rough and its texture is almost grainy.

When I touch the lemon with my bare hands, I sense the freshness thanks to the coldness. And what I predicted was true, the lemon was rough and grainy. The bright yellow lemon did have a hard and tough body. But wait, this lemon isn't all bright and happy, wait till its colours unfold and you see how it deceives.

As I bring it close to my nose, I can smell whiff the juiciness, the tanginess, and the citrus smell. It's like I can taste it, but I am just smelling. This lemon seems so friendly, trying to lure people in with its welcoming fresh smells, and its fresh body.

Why does this simple fruit deceive so many? It looks so bright and inviting, as it deliberately displays its yellow colour. But as you look closer you really see. The only thing that's actually puzzling, is what lurks inside.

How does a single lemon seem so innocent? In reality, it tastes much further than what we see. The lemon makes my face wrinkle and my taste buds curdle. The sourness overpowers. It's a true deceiver, a yellow deceiver.

Yet I still do not hate these little yellow deceivers. I dread plain lemon, I hate it alone. But when lemons play with others, it truly shines. I can only imagine the world without lemons and other 'yummy' deceivers. Lemons really do prove, that what's displayed, isn't always what's underneath. Lemons, the bright yellow deceivers.

The Wise Owl Of Muffely Meadow

Once lived a hummingbird called Laney. Laney had just arrived from a year’s trip to Japan. Over in Japan, she had learned many things. She had learned ‘nuu koto no geijutsu’, well this is how you say it in Japanese… I think, in English, it is known as the art of sewing. Laney was phenomenal at sewing, oh, the way her knitting pieces feel! It was a phenomenal feeling. It felt as if it was your own delicate skin or delicate icicles.

Laney was super excited to come back home, into Muffely Meadow. She was walking along the path happily; she wasn’t flying as her wings got tired from flying all the way from Japan to Muffely Meadow. As the grass waved at her she waved back, when the wind whistled so did she, she was in the best mood ever. As she sauntered past the Oaktree, she found a long, and I mean really long line outside of the oak tree. Everybody in the line was holding the most succulent, yummy bird food in the world. There were some stars in the line like, Kitty Purry, Beeyonce, Demi Lovatoad, Elvis Presleech, Sealena Gomez, Lady baba, Luke Flywaker (yes, he is real), Mary-Kate and Ashley Olfin and more were there.

In her mind, Laney thought everyone was here to give her a big surprise as she had just returned. Before going to get an autograph from the stars, she scrambled off to Billy the Brown Bear and asked, “oh Billy I’m back, remember me your friend, Laney?” asked Laney. “Ohh, hohohoho” chortled Billy. “How could I ever forget you?” he said. “Why is there a long line outside of the oak tree?” Laney asked hurryingly. “well,” Billy was interrupted, “hurry up!” screeched Laney. “ell, the oak tree is home to the old owl now. We had discovered that he gives amazing advice and can answer any question. So every day animals come seeking advice from him. He doesn’t ask for anything, so we decided to give him food for his kindness…. Oh, we’ll speak later, it’s my turn to seek advice from the Old Owl.” Billy had entered the tree, trying to squish himself through the hole, after a few more pushes he had entered.

Unfortunately, Laney was mad inside, she thought ‘What rubbish, I am the one with great advice, they didn’t plan a party for me at all. She piques walked to her treehouse, it was just opposite of the Old Owl’s oak tree. “Ugh, nobody’s even here for me” Laney cried. “Well, seeing that I should be the one who gets all the attention, It looks like I have to steal,” Laney smirked, little did she know, she was just walking into a huge mess. The same night Laney arrived, she started trouble.

Laney came up with a devious plan, she snuck out of her home into the deep and mysterious parts of Muffely Meadow. She saw a small hut, at the edge of the meadow. As she entered it a voice immediately echoed in the room, “Hello Laney, you’ve come. Seeking attention and power I see. You never learned. Well, you will seek what you want.” Said a mysterious voice. Laney looked emotionless. She kneeled down. Then she started singing a song. As she sang it, two bottles appeared in front of her, one saying: Unconscious and the other saying: Voice changer. Without any reaction, Laney accepted the potions and ran into her home. All this mischief on the same night of Laney’s arrival!

At 3:44am, Laney snuck into Old Owls tree when no one was there. She cruelly fed him the potion that said: Unconscious as she said “Because of you, I got no attention. This has all happened because of you! You will pay now” She then cut off Old Owls feathers. She Knitted all the owl's feathers into a cloak. She then wore the cloak. She carried the owl back to her home and left him there. She was posing as an Old owl! That’s preposterous if you asked me! She left for Old owl’s home. When she reached there, she drank the voice changer.

The next day all the animals gave Laney food as they thought she was the old owl. Old Owl remembered everything that happened the night before, he told all his visitors, well the visitors that were visiting Laney, the fake Old Owl. Is this confusing? Well, you should’ve paid attention!

After 3 days Old Owl appeared in Laney’s home…..well his home that Laney stole. “If you are really the Old Owl, then you would be able to fly. Fly for me” Old Owl exclaimed. Laney knew she couldn’t fly like an owl. The old owl flew amazingly. She knew this as she saw him fly on Flytube. “Ugh! You’ve ruined everything!” Laney said in her normal voice. Everyone was in the line behind Old owl was in utter shock! “Seize her for treason” screeched everyone in the line! Laney gave back Old Owl’s feathers to Old Owl. Old Owl had to go through a serious operation to get his feathers back. As for Laney, she was banished for treason of one of the most important people! No one knows exactly what happened to Laney. Some think she went back to Japan; some think she lives with the woman who gave her the potions…. But that’s not important. What’s important is that trying to be someone you’re not cause you’re just jealous isn’t going to fix anything! Laney learned that the hard way.
