One day there was a girl she was about 17 years old she lived New York city. Her name was Jennifer. She went to Mrs. Linden’s Library to look for a nature book. She went into the nature book section. So she looked around the section. And she seen a dusty old book. The tile said A Growing Jungle. And also said “Do Not Open”. When she walked up to the counter the clerk [named Bob] said,”don’t read this book women you will be sorry”. “I don’t care,” she replied.

        So she went home and started to read the book on her bed. She was
reading the book and as she turned the next page a mist of some kind of
sleeping gas sprayed out. When she woke up she was not in her room any
more. She was in some kind of a Jungle. She said “holy cow” I really need to
start spring cleaning. She thought that if she look for the spot wear her door
use to be. But the door wasn’t there. She didn’t know wear it was at
all.

She started to think about what the clerk [named Bob] said “don’t read this book women you will be sorry”. Then she said I should of listened to the clerk [named Bob]. She herd a loud sound and it wasn’t a sound that you here in New York only at the Zoo. It was a monkey sound. then she felt a mushy coold thing on her face. She looked and it was monkey poop. “Nasty!!!!!” She said. Then She saw a monkey he was going crazy because he found a energy drink she drank the other day and there was still some left in the can. He was jumping off the walls and thronging poop everywhere.

        She was very mad and she screamed. She keep on walking and found a lake. The lake ran into a swamp. Then she went into the swamp. When she was in the swamp she saw alligators. Then the swamp ran into a house. So then she went to the house. When she got to the house it was locked. So she knocked the door down. She just keep pushing and pushing the door until it fell.

        When she got into the house it was the most ugliest house she had ever saw in her 17 years long life. She was really tired from all the excitement about the room decorations. So she looked for somewhere to rest. Then she found a bed to lie down in it was up stairs. Very fast she fell asleep. When she was sleeping the jungle was sucked into the draw that had the book in it. And when she woke up she couldn’t believe it,it was here own room. She was so excited that she was home that she Went out side and saw that there was no more swamp. She was really here she slapped her self 50 times.

        Then she went in the house and saw that here room had no swamps or animals. She was in serious shock and she became . When she walked into her rooom she suddenly hared a monkey noise from her closet. No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She scram so loud that Bob heard her and some wear in the town at Clerk [named Bob], said I warned her about the book but it is to late now.

Why you should have a little monkey

                              I think you should have a little monkey because they are funny. Some people think they are the most messy of all animals. But they also are kind of clean. They pick off the fleas. But the  gross part about it is that they eat the fleas that is gross.

                             There is another reason why you should have  little monkey. Because you can dress them up. You can also teach them to do tricks. So they are fun. People think they are loud and noise. But I think that they are just trying to talk to you.         

                                   There is one more reason why. Because they are cute and you would love your little monkey. Some people think they are all over the place. But all you have to do is give it a banana and it will stay still for a little bit.

                                That is why you should have a little monkey!!!!!!!   
                                        
                  

Flat Mariah                

      Hi my name is Mariah. I am going to tell you about how I got flat. I was
going to get the mail so I did. When I opened the mailbox there was a letter
that said YOU WIN. I opened the letter and it said that I win a free trip to the
Bahamas I was so happy jumping in the street a big truck coming street
to me. then it was dark then I woke up. I thought
it was just a dream but I saw the letter next to me. It wasn’t a dream at all. I
was real. but the most weird thing was I was flat. I thought I was going crazy. I
got up and it felt so strange to walk. but nothing is going to stop me from
going to the Bahamas. So the first thing I did to get ready to go. I earned my
clothes as flat as I was. And then I packed my cloths and I was ready to go.
Ooh I for got to git my camera. I put in my bag and now i am ready to go. So
The next day I went to the airport and got my ticket and got on the plain. All
of the people were staring at me like I was some kind of alien. But I just
didn’t pay any attention to them. 5 or 6 hours latter I was there. It was the
most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life. The first thing I did was get
all of my stuff in the hotel room. The next thing that I did was go to the
beach And I didn’t really get to swim but I did get to float in the water. The
other thing I did was go and see all of the beautiful sites there is to see.
Then the last thing I did was go and order room service. It was allot of fun it
was great. And that is what my story.

I am going to tell you about Abraham Lincoln

By Mariah Oroquita

Abraham Lincoln. He was born February 12, 1809. He was born in a log cabin in Kentucky. The day that he died was April 15, 1865. His name is Abraham Lincoln his family called him Abe. He was an important person because he was the 16^th president of the United States of America and he wanted slavery to end ever he was since he was little and it did stop. So it’s like his dream came true.

                                    I am going to tell you about his childhood he had an older sister,
Older step brother and younger brother that had died. And he also had his mom and dad. His only friends were his sisters and brothers because he didn’t live ware kids were around. He was not rich and snobby. He was very poor and was a good kid and had a hard working family. He mostly lived in then his family and he moved to south to India in the north. He was sent to school once or twice a week.

• Now I am going to tell you about what motivated him. What motivated him was slavery he wanted to stop it. Then on November 6, 1860 he made his big move and got elected to be president the 16^th president. He gust wanted to stop slavery and this was the only way to do it. He wanted to do this because the slaves were getting treated unfairly. And thought it was cruel.

I am going to tell you a little bit about his important achievements. One is that he helped to stop slavery. Two is that He became the 16^th president of the United States of America. He was also happy that the north won the civil war no more slaves now he thought.

I am going to tell you about what had happen after all of this. You can learn something form this man to treat all people equal. And an interesting thing is he got married and had two boys. And that is what I have to say about Abraham Lincoln.

Can you help me find some sites that are about Abraham Lincoln.

One of the things I would give money to schools. So that more teachers can come and teach kid And so that teachers get better pay. The other thing is so they can go on field trips and learn things that teachers can’t teach them. And that is why I think that we should give more money to schools.

Another thing I do is give homeless people homes. The things about that are so they can get cleaned up and get a job. They can have a couple of weeks to get together too. And to keep them safe from other people that think other things about them. That is another thing I would do.

I would rebuild the White House. I would do that so in is sturdier. The other thing is so it can last longer. And so other people in the future can see it. That is why I would do that.

The last thing is that I would make school hours shorter. The hours would be 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. But I give harder work to do. The thing about that is that they can spend more time with family. And that is what I think I would do.

That is all the important things I would do if I was president of the United States of America.
