The sprinting team

   “Did you make it on to the sprinting team, Karen?” Ray asked.

“Yeah. How about you?” Karen responded.

“Yay we get to sprint together!”

“Yay!”

   Later that day, Karen and Ray went to practice. But when they got there the found out they had to sprint 100 meters.

“Oh my gosh!” Ray exclaimed.

“Why do we have to run that far?” Karen added.

“I don’t know but we will do it anyway.”

   They started running really fast, but although they ran quickly, they were not making enough progress.

Goldy

     Dashing through the door I hollered, "Mommy! Look at what daddy got me!" Holding in my hand a goldfish, with brown bubbly eyes. As I walked into the living room to put Goldy in her tank, I saw my dad struggling to change the light bulb. "Hey, daddy. Maybe Goldy can help."       

"Okay, Kiddo." I handed Goldy to my dad. Holding Goldy in one hand and a light bulb in the other, Goldy slipped from his hands and flew from the ladder. Before I know it I was walking slowly with Goldy in my hands over to the toilet.

The matree statues

     Hello, it's Chloe Kim reporting to you live from Surrey B.C. park. I'm here to report that there is a new statue in the park. This statue represents a type of tai chi. It's a very calming meditation that relieves stress and brings people together. But the tree part in this statue is representing the aboriginal peoples before us. They were tree people, also known as matree people. I'm Chloe Kim reporting live, back to you Nancy.

The Flood

                 Dear Diary, 

          

      Swoosh, it came down the drainpipe. It has been a total down poor for the past two weeks! And now everyone in Florida is packing their bags because the weather reporters are saying, that there will be a gigantic flood. Well thanks mother nature! Luckily, I'm already packed and my family and I have a plan to move to Canada. So I think I'm going to survive this thing. I hope. But just incase these are my last words, I'm going to...

"Weoo, weoo, weoo!"

Uh oh! The flood warning! Well off to Canada I go.

Chinese New Year

    Before I cycled out the door, I checked the clock. It blinked, "9:45." 

"I still have 15 minutes." I said to myself. As I continued to scamper out the door, I saw a large crowd of people. Everyone was wearing red. And so was I. Trying to snake through the crowd, I made it, right up front and centre. That's the best spot for the Chinese Dragon dance. Anxiously waiting, I lit my lantern. Staring at its beautiful yellow glow, the dragon had finally, arrived. After the dance had come to an end, we all started following the dragon and sang.

Monkey

   We hired a baboon! Okay, we hired him because well, we wanted to try something advanced. Plus he was head of his class. On his first day, he was tremendous at his job. But about a week later he changed. We gave him a laptop, sense that's his job, but I guess he thought it was his lunch break. Because when we gave him the laptop, he made a powerful monkey squeal and chucked the laptop off the desk and it smashed into a million pieces. After that, we got him a banana and he was fine. I don't know why he flipped. I guess some people can't work when they're starved.

The Hungry Tiger

   Being a zookeeper is a blast. Most of the time. Tigers are my favourite, but they can be a pretty grouchy at times. Earlier today, I was going to feed, Lily, with my new co-worker.

   “Have you ever fed a tiger before?” I asked.

   “No,” he confessed nervously, “I hope she’ll like me.”

   “She will, trust me.”

   When we fed, Lily, she was as happy as a tiger could be. But as Joe and I were trying to leave, the tiger was blocking our escape.

   “What will we do?” Joe cried.

   “We need to act big and loud.” I ensured him. We threw our hands up and growled.
