This is a horror story.
The Burning Snow:
It was a cold, cold night. Michael was a person who lived in a cabin in the wilderness of Siberia. He was often horrified when he heard a ghost story. This is one story he heard:
On a cold, bitter night, a girl ran through the Wilderness. Her mother abandoned her and her father died. Her name was Ana.
Eventually she was so overcome in grief she became insane. Ana was close to committing suicide but then thought-"Everyone must have to live like this! I hate my life! I HATE IT!"
And she became a Skitzelfranic killer. Ana grew up to be a murderer.
One day, realizing her wrong doings, Ana jumped off a mountain. That was how she died.
People say that they see a girl trudging through the snow. Trudging. Trudging. Trudging.
Of course, it was only a story. Or was it?
Michael returned home after school. Something fell over him. Micheal turned-
Oh no.
There were a bunch of bones-and they were set on fire. But that was impossible! There was snow everywhere! He was lucky they didn't burn him.
Wait- The bones had fallen off of a-a-a mountain. Just like-
Uh-oh. These were the bones of Ana.

The Hidden Identity
Where am I?
Who am I?
How did I get here?
When did I get here?
What is happening?!
I woke up only to find myself in an interrogation room. How...wha...?
A man steps up. "Who are you?"
Trembling, I told him that I honestly didn't know. "Pah!" He slaps me in the face, and blood pours out of my nose.
"He took it! I know he did! The secret to the next step of our society is stolen!"
HUH?!
"I didn't take anything!" I cried! "I don't know who I am or how I got here!" The man seems quite angry.
Suddenly, I realize something-the only chance of escape is in your instincts!
I look around. I am tied up in a chair-along with a little girl. She winks.
She has a cell phone. "Here," she says, obviously pretending to be afraid. The man picks it up-Only then do I realize that there is a strange slot in the phone, holding something-something...
It's a bomb.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The girl reveals she was wearing gloves. She pulls her hand free from the ropes, and unties me. There is a deadly fire spreading across the place.
Suddenly, I remember everything. My name is Kyle, I was kidnapped and brought here to the Emporium, a place where they hypnotize people and force them to commit terrorist attacks, all for money. Unfortunately, they didn't hypnotize me properly. I woke up with amnesia. They wanted a few files that revealed what they had done, and if the police and the FBI knew-they would destroy the society. Luckily, the hypnotism didn't last long.
And I had those files.
The burning Emporium was heating up. I recognize the girl-her name is Ana, and she was my partner.
Suddenly she jumps out the window on the highest floor, a parachute streaming behind her. I jumped after Ana.
Police come. I reveal what happened and I gave them the file. The Emporium is destroyed, and all is well. The end.
Who am I?
How did I get here?

Dragons
In that last story, I didn't finish. I want YOU to finish it.
In the meantime, here is a legend about Dragons.
There was once a noble Dragon King. He had two sons.
One day...he died. One of the children, Stargazer, followed his father. The only heir to the throne was Firrvar.
No one liked Firrvar. In fact, no one wanted him to be king. Why? Because he was evil, and the reason why was because of bitter memories of childhood past.
So Merlin, son of the Allur and child of a pious woman, decided to put a sword in a blacksmiths anvil. Whoever could dismantle the sword from the stone could be king.
But even Merlin was corrupted. For he had made sure, due to his magic, that Arthur Pendragon and not Firvarr, would successfully remove the sword. Arthur Pendragon was made king. Everyone treated him like a hero. But King Arthur was murdered by Firvarr. And Firvarr destroyed humanity itself.
Some thought Firvarr died. Others, however, know the truth.
But that's another story.

Don't Tell Anyone: You May Trust No One
This is a story I've been longing to tell.
DON'T READ BEYOND THIS POINT
Great. You're reading beyond that point. The world is cruel. But something even more deadly awaits three children.
"How much farther do you have to drive?" Marty asked the taxi driver. "Oh, not much farther. We're almost there."
Marty's big sister, Jennifer, and their baby sister wondered. Where could they be possibly be going?
Their parents had put them in a taxi and they were to drive off to the bank. But whe

A Spine Chilling Tale for HALLOWEEN!!!
Just try not to Poke the Eye!!!
Once, there was an old, old legend, dating back to medieval times. His name: VLAD THE IMPALER.
As the story goes, Vlad was very mentally mad in the brain-in other words, he was crazy.
Before he was pushed out of a tower down to his doom, one eye was poked out, and now, centuries later, kids play a game.
It's called "Don't touch the Eye!" In it, a gigantic eye is placed on the floor. Thirteen kids-or just one 13 year old-start chanting:
O Vlad, Vlad, Vlad,
Your death so sad,
Just try not to poke the eye!
Die Die Die!
O Vlad, Vlad, Vlad,
Your death so sad,
Just try not to poke the eye!
Die Die Die!
Everyone begins hitting the eye.
That is when something weird happens....
A boy named Fifer did the same thing. On that day, he disappeared...Police thought about the legend and went to Europe. In the very same tower Vlad was pushed out of, a boy very familiar was seen...And he had only one eye. The strangest thing was that a skeleton was right next to the boy's body, and even stranger-He was smiling and held a knife in his hand.
Was it a practical joke staged by a riotous lunatic?
I think not.

Headlines on the Faery Newspaper: RANE ISN'T CAPTURED YET, BUT THE ALLIANCE ALMOST CAUGHT HIM!!!
Rane Isn't Captured Yet, But The Alliance Almost Caught Him!!!
Source from: Brutus Ulondr Jabez Ferimin and Kyle
Summarized by: Kyle
The faeries are on a desperate chase.
The Alliance has been trying to find Rane, but no luck so far! However, the Alliance found a clue:
The journey of Mordecai, Round table, I see, "raft he, Tai Lans; we're there."
Now listen to the translation of the code that the Alliance found:
The journey of Mordecai, Round table, I see, "raft he, Tai Lans; we're there."
Without the extra letters, the message reads: Cairo is the answer.
Someone is trying to help us. Who is it and why?
In the meantime, all faeries went to Egypt's capitol city. Loads of pyramids stood out, but this was the strangest.
It stood out because it had an ancient air around it, a strange, misty swirl in the universe...
Going in the pyramid, I saw Anubis. The carsophagus sort of creeped me out (And not many things do!) "Hello, Anubis," Ferimin said. He swung the carsophagus open, and out came a mist.
"WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" the mist groaned, twisting and jerking into a shape. Slowly, we all saw the Egyptian dog god. "WHO DARES TO INTERRUPT MY PEACEFUL SLUM-Oh, it's you, Ferimin-and your friend, Kyle," and he stopped there and glared at me, with a wierd crooked smile, with a vengeful edge to it.
Where had I seen that smile before?
Then I realized something I should've thought of earlier-HOW DID ANUBIS KNOW MY NAME??!!
I was astounded Ferimin hadn't paid attention to that little detail. So I walked up to him and said, "What's your name?"
"Anubis, obviously."
"No. I mean your real name."
Anubis cackled then and revealed his true form-
Rane.
Ferimin was astounded. I was amazed. Both of us were bamboozled. And now we were in BIG trouble.
As we had been walking, Anubis led us into a trap-and pushed us into a tomb.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Rane cackled.
"HEEELP!" both of us cried.
Rane walked away.
We were gonna be trapped forever.
Wait- was there a way out?
I saw the hieroglyphs. Maybe, I thought, just maybe...
Aha! We could get out!
I got out an egyptian hieroglyph translator.
"Horus?" I thought. "The wall says, 'The Eye of Horus will guide you out, The Eye of Betrayal will guide you to death.' Then it repeats."
My eyes widened. I saw Ferimin gazing at the sarcophagus, but I changed his gaze. "Hey! This isn't even a tomb at all!" Ferimin perked up. "What do you mean?" Ferimin said. "I mean that this was a trap to lure robbers in! The Eye of Horus-Look at the sarcophagus. The left eyebrow furrows upward from the right-Horus's eyebrow furrows upward from the left. Look-the right eye is a match!!!"
We excitedly pushed on the right eye, and slowly the carsophagus opened up-and we escaped!
Now we just had to locate Rane...
"Where do you think Rane is?" I asked Ferimin.
"I don't know. You know how Rane is greedy and wants to commit his life to crime-for reasons unknown-So..."
"What would be a perfect scheme to be a rich guy?" I asked.
"Hmmm," Ferimin said. "I think he would have to-Oh no!"
"What?" I asked eagerly.
"He might want to become pharoah! So he'll try to get him out of the way and get rid of his heirs! Then he'll marry a girl and take the form of the pharoah's son!"
I gasped. "Come on Ferimin! We've got to save Egypt!"
I ran up to palace. Using faery travel, we got past the door and hurried into the throne room. Just before they got married, we ran up to Rane.
Rane tried to use his magic, and succeeded. He did some repelling spell, and I flew back.
Again, Rane escaped. We informed the Alliance, and word leaked out.
So that was what happened. THE END

A Teensy-Weensy Smidget of Another Excerpt From Kyle's New Book!!!
Hi! This is like a "teaser trailer" for my book! I know I've given an excerpt from my book once, but mom says that perhaps I could give out another snippet. Here it is then:
In the meantime, at the night of his birthday, Jahael was finally old enough to do one thing: Go to a meeting. A secret meeting. Ferrets often had secret meetings, often to discuss how to escape.
"Let's go," Jahael's father said. "But be careful; if any eagle sees you, our secrets as we know them will be in dire jeopardy."
So off they went, leaping past boulders and whatnot. Finally, they reached a cliff. Eagles didn't worry about these cliffs, because they were much too slippery to climb down. Jahael's father lifted up a trapdoor at the edge of the cliff. This, you see, was beyond what Jahael had expected...

I am so excited! Happy hearts, everyone!

A New Book!!!
Hi. I know, I know, I have not written for almost a month now, so I'll make it up to you by showing you this awesome book I am writing about. Here is a snippet:
Chapter 1:
Slavery
On the night of his birthday, Jahael had gotten no celebration, no festivities, no nothing. Why? The answer was simple: He was a slave.
Everyone, every ferret, mouse, frog, you name it-were enslaved by eagles and birds. In exchange for their hard work, the eagles decided not to eat them. All the while, the eagles ruled with a scepter that gave them power and riches.
Jahael, the subject of our story, lived in an enslavement camp in the Mountains of Angora, guarded by eagles Heimdall and Van Tassel. As a ferret, he was very content in listening to his father's stories of chivalry and noble deeds in a land full of freedom. But as a slave, he felt nothing but the lash of a lighting bolt forged in the Ice Desert's Cape End.
In that time, lightning bolts were effective whips, and some ferrets even died from this deadly weapon.
The eagles wanted power, and when they grasped it, they made sure it could not be taken from them. And this was what they did. This was how they served the high eagle.
Every single slave wanted to rebel, but they didn't do so. For the time being, they had to accept this treatment.
One day, they thought, We will rise. And one day, freedom will be restored...
-Excerpt from Kyle's New Book
I'm really excited! That's it!

The Best School EVER!
"New town, new school," an eighth grader said. "Bet you have no idea what a 'neophyte' is!"
"Yes I do," I told her. "A neophyte is basically a newbie, like I am."
But the eighth grader was no longer paying attention. She started talking to her friends.
The bell rang. Great, I thought. Just great. Time for class. I walked in there slowly. I sat down in a random place by the window.
A man walked in. "For those of you who do not know me, I am Nick Armstrong." A girl raised her hand. "You mean-the Armstrong?!" The man laughed. "No, not the man who walked on the moon. That was Neil Armstrong." The girl put her hand down. "Oh."
"Kids, we are going to travel in time!" Everyone burst out laughing. But then, he showed us a door concealed beneath the floor. We walked into it, and saw a chamber. There were seats there. Each student sat into one. Suddenly, the chamber opened up into a portal. Then seat buckles automatically appeared. After that, the seats changed into a roller coaster, and we sped right into the portal-opening!
Soon, we were at a harbor. "This is Plymouth. In 1620, the Mayflower landed here. You will get to interview one person at this scene." I got to interview a girl named Remember Patience Whipple. I thought this was some kind of a joke, so I tried to trip her up with words like "Mom" and "Dad". Then I realized it-This wasn't working. This was real!
In the art class, I began to literally Draw to Life!
In science, we shrunk and looked in other people's bodies!
Maybe fifth grade wasn't so bad after all!
"Yes I do," I told her. "A neophyte is basically a newbie, like I am."

School for Nymphs
Like Harry Potter? Then you will like this!
There was once a man that walked out of the River. People were astounded! The man hadn't even walked in!
This man's name was Firvarr, and he was the headmaster at Parsifalis' School of Training and Learning.
Firvarr was off to fetch Karisklusmos (pronounced: Care-iss-clues-MOSE) , a little male nymph who was just about ready for school.
He found him, knee-deep in the water, swimming. Come, Karisklusmos, come, Firvarr thought. Being a nymph, Karisklusmos heard his thoughts, and swam over to him. "Yes?" asked Karisk (let's just call him that. His name's long, trust me, I know) "Come with me. Don't worry-your parents know me. See?" said Firvarr. Sure enough, Karisk's parents were ushering him to go on.
"Okay," thought Karisk.
He was put on top of an eagle, and he flew to the Black Forest.
Along with the other students, Karisk was in a ceremony to discover what kind of nymph he was.
Now just so you know, there are more nymphs than dryads, naiads, hamadryads, etc. There are nymphs of the eagles, nymphs of the sky-the point is, the staff at Parsifalis' must recognize what nymph they are. The students have to chant an incantation, and then they show their true form. Depending on what this form is, the staff will give out a schedule showing what classes they will be assigned to and what time they take place.
Anyways, I just wanted to show you that. Bye! (And have a happy ending-all of you!)

Spread a Little Magic: Part 2
This is the second part of Spread a Little Magic.
Part 2:
Karen got up and introduced herself. "My name is Karen."
"Welcome! Come here, Angel!" A beautiful young baby was given to Karen. "That's you. When you were born." Karen laughed. "Me? You must be joking!"
"Karen, I'm not joking. You are one of The Others, given the ability to bring magic into the world and work miracles and aspire the world to follow their dreams, alongside your grandmother."
"My grandmother? What does she have to do with anything?" Karen gulped because it was obvious that she was hiding something. "Karen, I know your grandmother. As an Other she did not die-rather, she passed through that world into this. And look! Here she comes!"
The grandmother walked up. Karen was astounded.
"Come with me, Karen, we have work to do!"
As they rode in the sleigh, Karen asked her grandmother if she was the one who said "I love you."
The grandmother answered by saying "Oh no, I didn't say it. I expressed it. Words don't mean anything- it's your expressions that matter the most. And that is true magic, don't you think so?"
And so off they rode. And this Christmas-you just might see Karen working miracles, and making other people's dreams come true.
The love that lives inside us is true magic-don't you think so?
I made this story up, though I admit I got the idea from The Legend of Holly Claus-written by Brittany Ryan! Good-bye-and remember: Try to spread a little magic!

Spread a Little Magic
This is an account of "Spread a Little Magic", a child's tale, translated from the Swedish by Kyle.
Part 1:
Christmastime was drawing near.
In the midst of all the hubbub, little Karen was cold. Snowflakes fell down in this part of Sweden. Children were playing in the snow. But not Karen. Karen was a beautiful little girl, but was beginning to seem like her beauty was to go to waste.
Karen was depressed ever since her grandmother passed away.
Passed into an Undying Beauty. Probably was enjoying her happiness without giving a care about Karen.
She began to cry. Why was everyone happy-and not her? Suddenly she felt someone kiss her forehead. An angelic melody said "I love you."
Karen turned but saw out of the corner of her eye wings fluttering in the air. When she looked again she saw nothing.
"Does my grandmother miss me?" Karen asked herself. Someday, she knew she would learn the answer.
She thought she saw a sleigh. "Sinter Klaas?" she wondered (Sinter Klaas is the Swedish name for Santa Claus)
As the sleigh hovered over her, she grabbed it just in time.
Whoosh! Was she flying over oceans? That was impossible!
Finally, the sleigh stopped to a halt. "I am the patron saint of magic-I am Saint Nicholas!"
Part 1:
Christmastime was drawing near.
In the midst of all the hubbub, little Karen was cold. Snowflakes fell down in this part of Sweden. Children were playing in the snow. But not Karen. Karen was a beautiful little girl, but was beginning to seem like her beauty was to go to waste.
Karen was depressed ever since her grandmother passed away.
Passed into an Undying Beauty. Probably was enjoying her happiness without giving a care about Karen.
She began to cry. Why was everyone happy-and not her? Suddenly she felt someone kiss her forehead. An angelic melody said "I love you."
Karen turned but saw out of the corner of her eye wings fluttering in the air. When she looked again she saw nothing.
"Does my grandmother miss me?" Karen asked herself. Someday, she knew she would learn the answer.
She thought she saw a sleigh. "Sinter Klaas?" she wondered (Sinter Klaas is the Swedish name for Santa Claus)
As the sleigh hovered over her, she grabbed it just in time.
Whoosh! Was she flying over oceans? That was impossible!
Finally, the sleigh stopped to a halt. "I am the patron saint of magic-I am Saint Nicholas!"

Ferimin
The Goodhearted Fae Folk,
O Hear us o queen!
The Emperor holds an Undying Magic!
O hear us! The present time has come!
-An excerpt from 'The Markings of the Scepter'
Here I shall reveal the the past of the mysterious Ferimin, a good-natured Fae, and now rules over Asgard.
He was born in 1775, during the Revolutionary War (that was actually started by the Fae and the elves). For reasons unknown, Ferimin was switched with a baby named Joseph. But when "Ferimin" was about 4 years of age, he discovered his true identity. Suddenly, when he was 8, he started doing strange things. REALLY strange things. He had dreams of the future, and when he woke up, the events he saw had already come to pass.
When Ferimin was 49, in 1824, he saw and heard the the Ninth Symphony (Ode to Joy) And on that very same day, he was finally located. And there, he was appointed in the Alliance of the Fae.
184 years later, he met me. Ferimin, having overcome grief from the disappearance of Lieorel (you can learn about her in an earlier post) he met Tari, and fell in love.
After the Norse Gods and Godesses got kicked out of Asgard, Ferimin was the Ruler of Thunder and lightning in Asgard.
That's it. When I learn about Ferimin's adventures I'll put them on my next blog post. It is probably coming soon!

My Adventure: Dedicated to Lauren (Mom)
Dear mom,
I just want to show you my adventure, but before I begin, I must tell EVERY SINGLE BOY READING THIS THAT I DO NOT LIKE TINKERBELL!
My Adventure:
Ferimin, a faery, had a secret. He told me that I could reveal this secret to the public, and by "the public," I mean my blog fans.
Ferimin's secret was that his first true love, Lieorel, was waiting for him at Lorelay's rock. Ferimin was delayed by the elves (VERY naughty spirits) and when Ferimin came to Lorelay's rock (located in Germany. It's a real place. Look it up on the internet) Lieorel wasn't there, and he assumed she was taken away by other elves.
Later, Ferimin fell in love with another faery named Tari. But when Ferimin told me his secret, I decided it wasn't too late and so I took his secret as a quest.
Before I tell you my adventure, I'm going to have to tell you about Lorelei (no, I didn't say Lieorel)
Lorelei was a girl waiting for her true love at Lorelay's rock. But when her true love, a fisherman, didn't appear, she realized that he betrayed her and went off with some other woman. Sad and furious, she killed herself by jumping off the rock and down to her watery grave. But her soul became an ondine, an immortal water spirit. Lorelei would sing a song, and sailors on a boat sailing across the Rhine (a river that runs along Germany and Norway) would hear it, become absorbed, and become so ignorant of the dangers of the Rhine, they would go CRASH into Lorelay's rock. This is Lorelei's revenge.
See how both Ferimin's secret and the story of Lorelei are almost the same? Plus, Lorelei and Lieorel are anagrams, meaning that they have the same letters only switched around.
But to make sure, I went to a Library of Records in Faeryworld (a library with records and files) and sure enough, Lieorel and Lorelei were in the same spot. Not wanting to find out any other secrets, I went to Germany (using magic), taking Ferimin with me.
We got to the Rhine, and went to Lorelay's rock...
Lorelei saw us.
But she recognized Ferimin, and said, "Too late to apologize to me now, you brats!" With a wave of her hand, she transported Ferimin into a cage. "Now YOU! HAHAHAHAHA!" She tried to pour holy water on me (holy water disentegrates faeries, which was the creature she thought I was) But, because I was human and because you can't exactly spill liquid in water, it didn't work.
"Drat!"
With my magic, I unlocked the cage Ferimin was in, and we tried to explain to her what was going on. "See, we just want to-" Suddenly Tari walked in. "Ferimin! I was looking for you! But then you disappeared! Our wedding's tomor-Lorelei?"
Lieorel, Lorelei, whatever you want to call her, was in a rage.
"We just wanted you as a friend!" I said quickly. "LIAR!" shouted Lorelei. With her magic, Ferimin, Tari, and I switched places with a sailor named Minifer, his wife Rita, and child Eylk (anagrams again!)
Then I thought of a plan. "We could sail to Norway! Yggdrasil (the tree with a spirit named Mimir gaurding it, the connection between Asgard, the place where the norse gods live, and Midgard, Earth) could take us to the chief god Odin, who knows how to read the runes, and switch us back!" I said. "But how do we get to Norway that fast?" asked Tari. Then, Ferimin and I thought up the solution. "MAGIC!" we shouted in unison.
We forced the boat to go to about 700 miles per hour (mph) In seconds, we were in the capital of Norway, Oslo.
We found Yggdrasil.
Climbing into the roots of the gigantic ash tree, Ferimin, Tari and I were in the midst of Rane.
Rane was an evil villain that betrayed the faeries. He was in prison, but we didn't know that he escaped. LORELEI, I instantly thought. She helped him escape. That was why she was ready for us at the Rhine. Lorelei befriended Rane, and trusted him to back her up in case we found a way to switch ourselves back-like going to Odin for advice. She tricked us.
"We meet again, Kyle!" (I was the one who arrested Rane in the first place.) "Will you surrender?"
"NEVER!" I shouted. "Oh, I forgot you were supposed to be a little hero! Just like Ferimin! But he's not going to help you now!" Rane uttered a spell, and Ferimin was no longer standing up. He was instantly bound tight with snakes, and Mimir (that spirit that guarded Yggdrasil) tackled him.
"DIE!" shouted Rane. But I wasn't standing in front of him anymore. The moment he leapt at me, I magically tranported myself BEHIND him. So instead of attacking ME, he attacked THE WALL. CRASH! He was knocked out.
Then I grabbed Mimir, and with a massive effort, hurled him at the wall.
I used my magic to untie Ferimin. We got Tari, who was a bit dazed from what she had seen me do, then ran into the portal between Asgard and the world you're reading this blog in this very moment.
We ran on a wild goose chase, with Mimir and Rane on our tails.
Running across the rainbow bridge to the kingdom of the gods, running past the guardian spirit Hjolnir, we made it to Odin.
Odin, who knew everything, said, "I know what you want. The spell is right under your noses. But I will be at your throats!" ANOTHER BETRAYAL! "Thor, god of thunder and lightning, I think you've got some electrocuting to do!"
Thor ran up, and threw a lightning bolt. But, luckily, he had a ridiculous aim, and when Rane walked in right that moment, the lightning bolt electrocuted him, and when we dodged, the lightning bolt bounced to Odin, and bounced right out the door to the rainbow bridge. Hjolnir dodged, and so did Mimir, who was right behind Rane. Entering Yggdrasil, the lightning bolt bounced on the walls, bounced right of the ash tree, and bounced straight into Oslo. CRASH! It hit a building, and every Norse person in it ran out, being chased by a crazy thunderbolt!
Meanwhile, back at Asgard, we fought Thor, and we looked for the spell. Then we found it. See, when Odin said "right under your noses," I guess he meant, well, RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES. Because the spell was written on the FLOOR, right at the spot we were standing before.
Ferimin recited the spell in English, and I repeated him in old faery language. Suddenly we were back in Lorelei's lair, and the real Minifer, Rita, and Eylk were stuck in Asgard.
We made a run for it.
Ferimin, Tari and I swam out from under Lorelay's rock, and we found Oslo in total CHAOS! Everyone was running from the thunderbolt Thor had thrown from earlier.
"We've got to get out of here!" I shouted, hiding myself along with my friends in the ensuing crowd.
Suddenly Ferimin caught the lightning bolt, and with magic, didn't electrocute himself!
The whole of Faeryworld made it there just in time. But, as they took us back home, they didn't catch Lorelei, Rane, or any of the Norse gods. But, with a bit of luck, I'm sure they'll find them, just as they found us, as they are still on the run, and "right under their noses!" I'll spread the news when they are all in faery prison.
THE END.

Think About It...Norse/Icelandic Legends
I'm going to relate some norse legends with christianity. It may be weird, but I'll try to get my point across.
First of all, there was Sigmund, a man sent by Odin, the Chief norse god. He was brave, fearless and strong. Then he up and died and the only trace left of him was a magical sword. See, I think the magical sword could be like Eve's faith, once she saw the tree of the knowledge of good and evil God told her not to eat. Her faith was broken immediately.
Then Regin, the dwarf, tried to rejoin the sword to use it for evil, just like Satan the Serpent did with Adam's faith. Sigurd (Sigmund's child), like Adam, was tricked into killing a dragon that was Regin's brother. Sigurd was ashamed.
But later, Regin was defeated. (You can learn much more about the legend in Wikipedia. Just look up "Ring of the nibelungs") This is like how Jesus, at the Cross, at Calvary, at Golgoth died and defeated the devil.
So the lesson of both stories would be dealing with obedience, not to stray away like a lost sheep.
That's it. I just wanted to show you what I thought.

Major Motion Picture: Salt
Movie: Salt
Star: Angelina Jolie/Evelyn Salt
ABOUT THE FILM
The movie begins with the release of Evelyn Salt, a russian spy. Two years later, Salt is in the CIA, spying on people.
At this time, no one longer believes that Salt is a spy, and when a man is questioned at CIA, Salt is found is found to really be a spy, because the man exposes her and his neuroscan is found to be truthful.
Salt sucessfully gets away, and then she reunites with her teacher in her spy-training, who is also the questioned man. But when Evelyn Salt discovers that her teacher killed her husband, she murders him, right after he tells her that her mission is to kill the president of the USA.
Then, Salt goes on crazy attacks at certain places. Right after an old friend at the CIA (who turned out to be russian spy) kills the president, completing Evelyn's mission, she discovers he was actually a traitor that betrayed Salt and set her up, Evelyn kills him as she is captured.
Then Evelyn is taken away in an airplane. But she escapes-AGAIN.
Likely to have a sequel.
MY OPINION:
I recommend this movie. It's action-packed, filled with drama, and lots of great escapes.
Movie Rating: 9/10

A Book Review: A Series of Unfortunate Events; The Bad Beginning
Weird, I know. Instead of poems and STORIES, it'll be poems, movie reviews and book reviews.
THE BAD BEGINNING:
Author: Lemony Snicket, aka Daniel Handler
Illustrator: Brett Helquist
Protagonists: Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire
Antagonist: Count Olaf
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lemony Snicket
(This is about the fictional Lemony Snicket)
Lemony Snicket, according to my research, fell in love with a young woman named Beatrice (the Baudelaires mom). What I THINK happened was that while at a party at her mansion, a fire occured. Lemony Snicket knew that this would happen, so according to my logic, someone purposely started the fire. Lemony Snicket was the only survivor, and as this happened Lemony Snicket's heart was broken as he saw that Beatrice's heart belonged to a man named Bertrand, who was the Baudelaires father since fourteen years ago. That's what I think happened; most of what I told you wasn't even revealed in the books. But then again, there still is much to be revealed in the books, even though the last book in the series has been published. Discover for yourself...
Lemony Snicket is convicted of false felonies reported by the Daily Punctilio, a sloppily written newspaper, and because of those reports, Beatrice did not want to marry him. But his trial was delayed, so now he has time to write about the Baudelaire orphans.
ABOUT THE BOOK: (The First in the Series) The Bad Beginning
After the Baudelaire Parents (Beatrice and Bertrand) die in a fire (which I think turns out to be arson), the Baudelaire youngsters, Violet, Klaus and Sunny are informed at Briny Beach by Mr. Arthur Poe (identified throughout the series as Mr. Poe), a banker in charge of the fortune that the Baudelaire parents left to their children.
The Baudelaire orphans are put into the care of Count Olaf, a disgusting, greedy man who wants their fortune. He attempts to do this with a play called The Marvelous Marriage, but with a real Justice of The Peace (A contract that people sign to make the marriage official and legal) When a person is married, then they have any and all rights to each other's money. And they can marry while under eighteen with permission from their guardian. Count Olaf pretends to be an actor in the play, but tries to marry the Violet, fourteen years of age and the oldest Baudelaire child. Can the Baudelaires stop Count Olaf's despicable scheme?
This book is now a major motion picture, entitled "Lemony Snicket's: A series of Unfortunate Events," portraying 3 out of the 13 books by Lemony Snicket.

The Little Angel
This is the story of a little angel.
As some may know, when a little child dies, he is turned into a little angel. Now one day, there was a little child named Aafie. His parents were wonderful.
But one day, the child had a fever. He died holding a red rose in his hand.
Aafie had a vision of an angel. The angel asked, "Are you ready?" Aafie instinctively said "Yes" and the next thing he knew, he was in heaven, still holding that rose.
Everyone had to give an offering to God in heaven, like their favorite things, drawings, etc.
But because the boy was good, he gave his heart and the rose to God.
God gave the gifts back, and Aafie went to paradise. Sadly, though, the child missed his family.
He cried. One tear fell on the rose.
Suddenly his family walked right out of the flower and greeted him while they were sleeping. Aafie could visit his family in heaven every time he wanted to.
And that is how you can become an angel in heaven. You must give your heart to God.
I know, it's sad. But it has a happy ending. And I hope everyone will have a happy ending.
As some may know, when a little child dies, he is turned into a little angel. Now one day, there was a little child named Aafie. His parents were wonderful.
But one day, the child had a fever. He died holding a red rose in his hand.
Aafie had a vision of an angel. The angel asked, "Are you ready?" Aafie instinctively said "Yes" and the next thing he knew, he was in heaven, still holding that rose.

Don't you Understand?
Don't you know?
How far I'll go?
I've got feelings, emiotions,
And no love potion
Can give you what you gave me?
Don't you know? Don't you understand?
Will you see?
Open you're eyes,
Don't be blind
I'm in a bind
Yeah-Yeah-Yeah-Yeah,
Don't you know,
How far I'll go?
You gave me, gave me somethin'
I love you!
Don't you know? Don't you understand?
Woah-oh-oh-oh,
You've got my heart rom the very start-
Can't you see?
You can sing this if you like.

A Silly Poem About Baseball Players
There was a man who had sat,
Sat at the bat
He wouldn't get up to his feet,
All he wanted was a treat,
The pitcher
Was quicker,
Not a nose-picker,
The umpire,
Was a liar,
Yes, his pants were on fire,
"Help, yes you at the bat,
Get some liquid, a vat!"
Then there was the pitcher,
He said he was quicker,
And without a snicker,
He grabbed a vat of water,
He poured it on the umpire,
Yes, the liar,
His pants were no longer on fire!
"Get up, yes you, the batter!"
"Oh, it doesn't matter!"
He performed the feat
Of bringing the treat,
The man got up,
All nice and neat
And the man swung the bat,
Yes, Him, the man who had sat!
I think it's very silly. After all, you can't be serious ALL the time, can you?

Perseus, Medusa, and The Prophecy
Have you heard the story of Perseus? Perseus was good natured, and friendly. He even became a hero of Greek Mythology. This is a real myth. I have altered it a LOT.
In the land of Argos, a boy named Perseus (Let's call him Perse) was born. Now Perse, according to a prophecy, was going to be the reason the king would die. So he ordered that Perse would be executed 10 days after he was born.
However, a man named Polyompes rescued Perse. Polyompes took Perse to his home in Crete...
APPROXIMATELY 17 YEARS LATER...
Now Perse's stepmother was evil. She asked Perse to kill Medusa, a fearful Gorgon.
In case you do not know, Medusa had insulted a very important person. Her name was Athena, and so Athena changed her into a hideous monster with snakes for hair and a glare that turned anyone who looked directly in her eyes into a stone statue.
Perseus was forced to kill Medusa, and he didn't like it. But he did it anyways.
Now Perse lopped off Medusa's head with one blow of his axe.
He took the head to his stepmother. She accidently turned into a stone statue by looking at Medusa's head. Perse had been blamed for he accident, and so Polyompes tried to kill him.
But Perse escaped, and he went back to Argos. There Perse gave the king his sword. But Perse handed the sword over to the king the wrong way so that he accidentally stabbed the king. Perseus had fulfilled the prophecy.
Perse buried the king and went back to his mother and father. THE END.
Sad story, huh? Have a nice day!

The Labyrinth
In the last post, you got to know a little bit about me. Now you will hear a story.
Once upon a time, there was a labyrinth constructed by king of the sea, known as Aduelas. This king had a golden trident at the center of the labyrinth. A dragon guarded the labyrinth. And for extra protection, the walls moved as they wished.
Now, the king of the sea was evil. So a hero had to return to the trident back to the king of the sky, whom had given it to Aduelas.
I was chosen to return the trident. I swam to the depths of the underwater world. Down there, I finally came across the kingdom of Aduelas.
I entered the labyrinth. The walls tried to crush me, but I managed to get through. Soon enough, I was back where I started.
Then I tried again.
No matter how many times I tried, I returned back to the spot where I was before.
However, the fifth time I tried, I saw a tree. On the tree was a riddle.
I am love's helper,
I carry wishes upon my back
My name does not matter,
What am I?
Love is God, but who was his helper? Wishes? That must mean a prayer. A scripture with an angel in it did say that her name didn't matter-
An angel.
"An angel?" I said. Suddenly, roots in the tree opened up. I boldly walked into the roots.
I walked out in the center of the labyrinth. It was A SECRET PASSAGEWAY!
I took the trident, but the dragon saw me. He opened his eyes and chased me mournfully.
Wait. Mournfully?
He was trying to tell me something. I pointed the trident at the dragon and it turned into a beautiful young girl. She said that Aduelas condemned her to take the form of a dragon and to guard the trident.
I took her to the king of the sky, gave him the trident, and we all lived happily ever after.
This short tale is based on Ariadne's thread. Happy lives to all of you!

Love is Beautiful
Love is beautiful,
Love is here,
You don't understand what I am feeling,
Never would you ever,
My heart was ripped,
My soul was nipped,
Love is beautiful,
Life is the paintbrush,
No-o-o,
You brought tears to my heart,
My expression is solemn,
But not when I saw you,
But not when I thought I saw the Love seemed beautiful,
I tried to forgive you,
But you wouldn't turn from your ways,
You wouldn't understand,
Oh, Love is Beautiful,
You would never,
Never would you ever,
Understand,
But Love is always beautiful,
Bad and sad,
Or especially good and glad,
I thought you really understood,
But now-You're exposed.
You may sing this song if you would like to.

I Love You, Don't Die for Me
I think this is a very beautiful, sad, and dramatic song. You may sing it if you like.
She up and died,
I up and cried,
NO! I shout.
It can't be true
Oh Oh!
Our love was two threads
Tied together,
Then Snip-Snip!
You were truly my Golden Lady
And I was truly your Golden Man
Our love will never end, I miss you so!
Oh Oh!
I miss you too,
For in my heart,
Our poem of Life never ends-
The love never stops,
The romance never begins
Oh Oh!
Oh Oh!
Love truly!
Truly love
Don't die for me
Live for my sake
God cares for...
The needy.
She up and died,
I up and cried,
NO! I shout.

And I was truly your Golden Man

The Transformation Wave
I know, I know, that is a really science-y title, but I'll leave it that way anyways. Happy reading!
There was once a top-secret lab that did experiments that was called Mind Control Intelligence, otherwise known as MCI.
BUT one experiment changed the face of MCI-Transformation waves. In other words, transforming and switching into another person. And who was the genius behind the project? None other than-(Did you guess?)-Madelline!
Madelline was an adult now, about 30 or 40 years of age. Her partners were Hannah and Kyle (From "Stranger than Historical Fiction"). By now, Hannah's birthday was coming up.
Madelline went over to a button in her laboratory. "This button can switch you two around."
"Wait," said Hannah. "I thought that when you were talking about Transformation waves, that it was only a theory. That button can change MCI in a bad way. A VERY bad way."
"She's right. We've underestimated things from a magician. But who knows what could happen if you pushed that button?" said Kyle.
"Great. No support. I guess I will push the button anyways," said Madelline.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
An explosion occurred.
This wasn't the kind of explosion that blasted you backwards. This explosion erupted in the sky, with a flash of blinding light.
"What the-?" cried Kyle, holding his hair. "I'm a GIRL!"
"What the-?" cried Hannnah, holding her hair. "I'm a BOY!"
The two exclaimed glances and screamed.
"We have got to reverse the effect that caused us to switch places. Now everyone thinks I'm really Hannah! Try wishing on your birthday that we were our own selves again," said Kyle; otherwise known as "Hannah."
"Okay, I'll try," said Hannah; otherwise known as "Kyle."
"In ten seconds, your birthday will start, and you will have to blow the candle. If everything goes as planned, then it's all going to be okay. If it doesn't, then, I guess I'll stay a GIRL."
"And I'll stay a BOY," said Hannah; otherwise known as "Kyle."
When she blew the candle, an explosion occurred, and then Kyle and Hannah opened their eyes. THEIR eyes.
I hope you liked the story. Good day, to all of you!

Peace Is A Flower...
Peace,
The flower that dances with joy
We need only find it,
To fill in every empty space in a grieving heart of worry
Peace is the sunflower that blooms in the soul,
And gives God authority to rule the heavens, for he alone is the Prince of Peace.
Peace has seeds of Joy, and worry will no longer be allowed to enter the door to your soul.
Peace is the sunflower that every one needs, including souls and angels in heaven.
But there must be a sun to allow any sunflower to grow.
What do you think this poem means to you? If you are worried or grieving for whatever reason, just remember this poem. (Comments below.)

Prayers lifted
This is a poem about Prayers being lifted. Enjoy!
My Prayer,
Coming from my heart,
Goes to the Creator,
Which we know most accurately by Love
My poetry is prayers coming from thy heart
And angels carry my poetry to God and the world
If it be your mercy
Grant that the world may know you
No matter how many names you may have
No matter what tongue,
Your love may come in different forms,
Depending on the heart you live in,
Lord, I pray that this prayer be lifted into the hearts
Of different people with different tongues
Of different people with different ways of seeing you.
I hope you enjoyed my poem. Have a great day, all of you reading this, and everyone in the world!

Stranger than Historical Fiction
This is a story about a book. I hope you enjoy it!
"Thomas saw them. The monks were there inside that mountain, in 1095. 'What am I to do?' he whispered. 'The king of Norway wants me to get rid of them and force them to practice his own religion! I don't have the heart to do this-I must warn them!'"
"Wow. You are totally absorbed in that book, Hannah. Can I see the cover?" The middle school nerd she was in love with actually spoke to Hannah. "It's called 'The Rebellion of The Monk-Eavesdroppers'. It's about this guy named Thomas Ericson who creates a society that rebels against the king and saves the monks that live in Norway that the king wants to practice his own religion. The king plots to have the monks in cages too. The story takes place in the year 1095, and it really is cool!"
"Well, that certainly seems like a good book. How many pages is it?" asked the nerd. "Oh, 400 pages. I'm on page 399."
"Cool! Want to come over to my house?" the nerd (The nerd's name was KYLE, if you want to know so badly) asked. "Maybe I can show you some other books you might be interested in."
So Kyle and Hannah went.
They saw a witch doctor there, and he asked Hannah to open "The Rebellion of The Monk-Eavesdroppers." He told them that they would enter the book itself.
Nothing happened. Kyle gave the "loser" sign to Hannah. She nodded.
That night, they slept a peaceful sleep...
"Hannah, wake up! Everyone thinks I'm a prince and you're my sister!" Kyle said. Hannah rubbed her eyes. "Doughnuts, children?" asked a waiter. "No thanks," said Kyle. "Trust me. I know from experience that doughnuts from long ago were dry and tasteless."
Hannah widened her eyes. "And we're in the year of 1095." Hannah's eyes widened even more.
"We've jumped into my book! Maybe if we help Thomas we'll get out."
So they found Thomas. Then they had the monks swap places with the fisherman in Norway (That was where the story took place)
Then they told the king that the monks were captured. After that, well, the Monks escaped in secret to Asia. Thomas went with the monks, and when the king found out that they had fisherman instead of the real monks he let them free. And so they lived happily ever after.
"Wake up, Kyle! Was that a dream?" Kyle sat up. "What a sleepover! I don't kn-"
Before he could say "I don't know if it was a dream" they both saw Thomas wink at them-then disappear. And the witch doctor was gone as well.
"The witch doctor left?" asked Kyle. "What witch doctor?" his parents replied.
Was everything a dream? Or was it that the witch doctor wiped away everything that he did that had to do with Kyle and Hannah?
Perhaps they would never know.

No Title
No title for this poem. I hope you enjoy it.
My harp plays,
In the cold, aging world,
A tune of sadness and despair.
The snow is sad,
Made from the tears of God
And once they land,
Create mourning.
A bird flies overhead,
And the sun has come up.
And everyone is forgiven
And the sunshine creates memories
Of the Hope
That flew overhead.
My harp plays,
In the cold, aging world,
A tune of sadness and despair.
The snow is sad,

And once they land,
Create mourning.
A bird flies overhead,

And everyone is forgiven
And the sunshine creates memories
Of the Hope

This is a story about the Great Adventure Siblings: Moony and Sunny, named after the moon and sun. Enjoy!
Moony was excited. He was going to his cousin's birthday party for goodness' sake! Sadly, he couldn't find a present for her.
Then their car was blown away by the wind.
Sunny looked up and saw a kind, good-smelling face. "Wind?" she asked. "Why, yes, I am one of the four winds. Sorry I picked you up. Would you like me to find you a present that your cousin would like?" Before the Great Adventure Siblings could ask about how Wind knew about the party, they were whisked away into Wind World, (WW, for short) a land in the clouds.
The siblings searched for a present until they found the wind blower. When blown, you could actually fly.
But then, in another room, they heard Wind talking about capturing them. So they used the wind blower to escape.
They made a magical wind blower of their own to blow away sadness and despair. And the other wind blower was given away to their cousin.
I hope you enjoyed my story. Bye!

The Great Space Adventure
I hope you enjoy this story, all of you science fiction lovers! Again-ENJOY!
There was once a legendary land in space known as Star Angel. No one knows where this land is, but there reigns a queen, queen of all the Star Angels, in Star Angel. Every astronaut wanted to be filled with potential of such a place.
One day, a girl named Madelline (Remember her? She actually went through a black hole once!) created a wormhole leading to this planet. At the speed of light, she was at Star Angel.
The Queen saw her, and when she was given a quiz, Madelline was appointed Chief Star Angel.
A Star Angel made sure that the cosmos and planets and stars were in order. Madelline made sure that Black Holes did not mess up the universe, as, theoretically, there was a ginormous black hole at the center of it.
Madelline saw robots coming towards her as she guarded the Gigantic Black Hole. "Those must be the Guardians." Guardians guarded Star Angel.
But she was wrong.
These were Warriors, determined to be beyond the boundaries of time.
Madelline soon realized this, and she warned the Warriors that they may never get out of the Parallel Universe that would befall them if they entered the Black Hole.
The Warriors listened, and ventured back to Earth.
Soon, they came back with an army of warriors, and that was how the Great Battle of The Universe started.
Every Warrior wanted to be the ruler of the universe, and all the Star Angels fought.
But luckily, the Star Angels won.
Madelline can tell you all about the Great Battle of The Universe, and you would be utterly amazed.
I really hoped you liked this story. I sure did!

Several Impossible Ideas
These are several impossible ideas that can can help you get very creative when you write. It's always a good idea that before writing a fantasy story that you think of impossible ideas before you write it. Here, I'll show you a couple of impossible ideas:
*People can fit in teacups by shrinking to about 3 inches tall
*Some women have noodles for hair
*Pigs are green with yellow spots on them
*Some children are born from adverbs and adjectives
Now I'll make a story out of these impossible ideas:
I walked into a very strange world.
A green pig with yellow spots walked up to me. He was as big a skyscraper, for goodness sakes! "Oh no!" he shouted. "You have shrunk!" "WHAT?!" "If the Queen sees you that small, she'll dump you in a bowl of honey! You will be stuck there, and the bears will tear you apart! I must hide you in this teacup, for you are only three inches tall!" I was dropped in a teacup the pig had. "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! Pigs aren't green-they're pink!" "Well of course!" said the pig. "You have entered Impossibleland!" "But that is impossible!" "Exactly!"
The Pig took me to a castle. A voice said, "I want a pig! What is in that teacup of yours?" "That must be the queen," I thought. Peering out of the teacup's hole, I saw a queen with noodles for hair! "I am born from adverbs and adjectives, and an adjecterb ought to know everything!" "Just tea, of course," said the pig. He dumped me out of the teacup into the sink, and I wet ddown into the drain.
I woke up. "Was that a dream?" I wondered. Just then I saw a green pig wink at me and disappear. "That's impossible!" I said.
See? Now make your own story!

Escapades from the Dead Society!
This is a great story. Enjoy!
The ghouls banded together to form the Dead Society.
The Dead Society captured children and tortured them in such a way that people could only guess what happened to them.
One day, a child known as Ingrid was captured by the society.
Ingrid saw terrible things that happened to the children. One day, a witch was chosen to torture and kill Ingrid.
"In this pot is boiling water over One Thousand degrees Fahrenheit (Sorry if I spelled that wrong) If you put only your finger in there, your whole body will burst into flames!" Ingrid then had a plan. She pretended to put her finger in the pot. "I put my finger in the pot, and I'm not bursting into flames," she said. "It must not be hot enough." "WHAT?!" exclaimed the witch. "I'll put my finger in there myself!" At that moment, she burst into flames and died.
Ingrid escaped and told the whole town in Salem, Massachusetts about the Dead Society, and so everyone started looking. Finally, the Dead Society was found.
This event is said to be what started the Salem Witch Trials.
I hoped you enjoyed my story! As always-comments below.

Adventure-The Not-so-Great Move to Frederics Institution
If you like a story about ballerinas, or happy little elves, this story, I'm sad to say, is not for you.
Do you remember Jabez, and the EVIL Professor Mulloon? Remember the sad children that would have died had it not been for their wits?
Well, those children went to an institution that I am sorry to say was no better than their stay with Professor Mulloon.
Our story starts again when Aurora knocked on the door of the Principals Office, and Rafael and Elise waited. And waited. And waited.
Finally the Principal walked out. "My name is Mr. Quebec, you all understand the rules, don't you?" "Er," said Rafael, "you haven't given us any rules." The Principal looked confused. "Oh, yes, I've forgotten, Ms. Bull, you have not given the children the rules!"
Ms. Bull stepped out. She was big, fat, and had a colorful emerald robe. But the children recognized those thin eyes. The children recognized the cool voice to be that of Professor Mulloon.
"Professor, you don't fool us one bit. You are Professor Mullon!" squeaked Elise. "Mulloon! Where is he? Where? Where?" asked Mr.Quebec. "RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!" all the children shouted. "Oh, nonsense, Ms.Bull never would disguise herself, now would my prissy poo?" said the Principal, obviously in love with her. "EEECH!" said the children, and they ran off to their classrooms.
Work, work, work, was all the entire school wanted.
Finally, Ms.Bull gave them a permission slip for a field trip. "Uh oh, what's she up to now?" wondered Rafael.
Because the children had no parents, Ms.Bull would not let them go.
When that happened, she shoved them in an elevator.
"NO!" Aurora said. She was reading a peice of paper that read:
On the bottom floor, there are spikes! YOU ALL ARE GOING TO DIE! HAHAHAHAHA!
Then, Jabez walked in the elevator. The children jumped on him and the elevator closed, and the children told him their story, and gleefully told him that Ms.Bull was actually Professor Mulloon and she was unmasked. Sadly, Mulloon escaped.
The children hopped into Jabez's car and hoped, just hoped, that their next guardian would be just right for them.

Anne and Joseph
This is a playwright that I made up that you can act out yourselves! This story takes plays in the 1600's so put on costumes! Oh and ENJOY!
Joseph: I love thine. I wanted thee to be mine, for in the world you are most fine, but you did not love me back.
Anne: I am in love with you John, for your song draws love from afar.
John: I love you too, for you truly bring all the birds that sing together to hear your love and laments.
Joseph: Thee is great, but who wins thy heart?
Anne: The king shall decide whom is best for me to fall in love with.
(A castle comes into the scene. The king is seated on a throne. John and Joseph start arguing)
King: Why, you argue like the animals that bicker in the forest. Cut Anne in half, each of you shall have her.
Joseph: No! Anne, give your heart to John, for my heart is torn apart by grief.
King: Then you shall take her hand and stand by each other in life, Joseph and Anne, for you love her so much you would rather her love someone else than for her to die.
(Curtains close)
This is the first time I actually posted to my blog two times in one day! I hope you really enjoy acting this out!

A Story About the Black Holes
This is a story about Black Holes. (Ms. Lange, this story is dedicated to you because I know you would really like to become an astronaut) Enjoy!
The rocket soared up into the air.
Inside, a trembling Madelline sat. Her mission was to go inside of a black hole. "There's one!" she said, utterly terified. Would her suit really keep her from stretching apart?
Madelline knew that black holes were holes in the fabric of space and time that were so dense even light could not escape.
She was close to it now, so close-
CRASH.
Madelline blinked. She was in blinding light. Then she saw a circle, an escape hatch out of this great terror that led to-led to-led to what?
She couldn't remember, no, not now-
Madelline flew headfirst into the calm and peaceful quiet of the circle, an eye of a storm she would call it. Then gravity pulled her out so fast, faster than light-
Where was she?
Madelline was home, no doubt, but how-?
It was a dream. It had to be. Wait-there wasn't a bridge by her home! And what about the beach? Then she remembered that Black Holes led to Parallel Universes.
Think, Madelline, think.
The first dimension was a line, which would mean the 0 dimension would be a dot. Then you would have to square that to get the second dimension. Square it again, you would get the third dimension. And if you tried to square that again, you would get the fourth dimension which would be time. Square it AGAIN, you would get the fifth dimension, which would be space. Which would mean that a line would not be the shortest distance to travel.
Darn, that didn't help one bit.
Wait. If time and space were bendable...
She had to get out of here fast. Time had obviously stopped on Earth.
If Parallel Universes were basically possible outcomes, then she would have to make it exactly as it was.
She saw her teenage parents walking by as if they didn't know each other.
Madelline walked up to her father, and said, "That girl over there really likes you." That was no lie. Madelline's mother really liked her father when they hadn't met. So Madelline's father walked up to her mother and they talked. And then they kissed.
At that moment, Madelline flew back out of the black hole.
And she went back to Earth and told everyone about her adventures. No one believed her, but Madelline didn't care. She had experienced something no one else had in the history of mankind.
I hope you liked it, Ms. Lange! Comments below!

Adventure: Part 2
"We'd better be going," said Jabez before the children could ask any more questions.
The children were taken to a castle.
Inside, the children heard the cackling voice of a man. "HELLO. I am Professor Mulloon." All of them gulped.
"GOOOOOOOD DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFAAAAAAAAAAEL," said Mulloon. "Um, hi," said Rafael nervously.
And that is how the children and Professor Mulloon met.
When Jabez left, Mulloon sneered. "Your parents inherited jewels, didn't they?" At once the children knew what he was getting at. He wanted the jewels for himself. "You will NOT GET AT THE JEWELS! WE WON'T LET YOU HAVE THEM!" shouted Aurora. "Why, you insolent little brat!" said Mulloon, taking out a knife. But little Elise rescued her.
The next day, Mulloon apologized.
By making up for his evilness (I don't care if that's not a word!) he took them to the woods.
Liar.
He tied the children to the back of the seat. Then Mulloon tied a bomb to the inside of the car.
"What do we do?" cried Aurora.
"Stop the bomb, of course!" said Rafael. But he really had no idea how to do that. "Wait-maybe we can channel the electricity in the castle itself by wiring it!" thought Aurora. So they opened up half of the bomb and tied a string to its wires.
Then they threw the string out the car window.
The string reached the castle, and it blew up. Luckily the children were in the car, not in that horrible fortress!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!"
Jabez reached the castle. When he did, the children told him what happened. "Well, Mulloon was inside the castle when it blew up, so that is the end of him!"
Too bad they were wrong.
That's it! This story is continued in the book I am writing!

Adventure
This is a story about adventure. Enjoy!
Everyone was giggling and happy and having a wonderful life and a wonderful childhood when-
"Your parents disappeared. We've found you a foster parent."
These words started an adventure that would not end until their childhood was over.
The people that the man was speaking to was Rafael and Elise and Aurora. Let's refer to that man as Jabez.
Jabez took the children to see their house. It was burnt to ashes. "Wh-what happened?" stuttered Rafael.
"Your parents couldn't have died because of this because they were at a conference during this. Oh, I tried to warn them!-" he cried.
"WHAT?!" cried the children.
Jabez then said, "I shouldn't have said that!"

The Great Dragon
This is a story about a dragon. Enjoy!
I am a dragon,
And I bring forth water
Enjoy my creation
The stars are my great kingdom,
The earth is my poetry
I have written everyone in my poetry
In the Book of Life
I am the great poet
And every poem, every story
Is unique
In its own way
I am the Creator.
I know all secrets,
Supernatural and natural
I know all these things for nothing can be hidden
From Love.
I do not have wings, for my Love for everyone
Allows me to fly.
I am not dirty, for I am cleansed
I am bright for my Love shines on everyone
I am beautiful
My daughters are Wonder and Nature
I come in different forms, for everyone is different
However I must return to where I live,
For pleas and prayers need to be answered!
That's it. The dragon symbolizes God, for I imagine God to be huge and strong.

Understanding
Yep. That is what this poem is called. I have decided to go even deeper into knowledge and to create wisdom. Enjoy!
Be swept into a land
Where heaven joins earth
Be in the presence of cherubs and Little Angels
Be in Prayer and meditation
Think of how
God created this world
Observe all details
For you shall find
A bit of God in everything
Be,
Observe,
Think,
For there is a little bit of the master
In the learner.
I hope you enjoyed this poem. Mom sure enjoyed it.

A Poem by Kyle
I couldn't think of a name for this poem, so that has to be the name for the blog entry.
The breeze of righteousness,
The wind of Truth,
carries me to heaven, and
now I am back.
The Gates of Glory,
Made of heaven's finest gold,
And the archangels, they guard the Gate
From Sadness and Grief
From Lies and Greed,
I had gone on a ship,
leading to heaven,
Sailing on the seas of the Afterlife,
A language of love
Is spoken in heaven,
And angels are carrying
Prayers on their backs, and leaving God
To answer them, he sends them back to Heaven's
United Postal Service,
And love balloons are sent from Earth,
I could go on and on about this magnificent place,
But for now, let me rest,
For I have the journey of life ahead of me!
That is the poem that I wrote. I was thinking about John Milton's book, "Paradise Lost," when I wrote it. But I also thought of what I thought of heaven. A poet, you see, always expresses his thoughts and feelings, you know!
The breeze of righteousness,
The wind of Truth,
carries me to heaven, and
now I am back.
The Gates of Glory,
Made of heaven's finest gold,
And the archangels, they guard the Gate
From Sadness and Grief
From Lies and Greed,
I had gone on a ship,
leading to heaven,
Sailing on the seas of the Afterlife,
A language of love
Is spoken in heaven,
And angels are carrying
Prayers on their backs, and leaving God
To answer them, he sends them back to Heaven's
United Postal Service,
And love balloons are sent from Earth,
I could go on and on about this magnificent place,
But for now, let me rest,
For I have the journey of life ahead of me!
That is the poem that I wrote. I was thinking about John Milton's book, "Paradise Lost," when I wrote it. But I also thought of what I thought of heaven. A poet, you see, always expresses his thoughts and feelings, you know!

Koschei the Deathless
This is a story based on a Russian fairytale. I hope you like it!
There was once a closet in which no one in the kingdom was allowed to enter. No one knew why, but the king ordered it, so no one did.
One day, the king's son, Prince Ivan, had discovered the closet. It was shut because a wooden hand locked it.
Prince Ivan went to touch the hand. And the moment he touched the hand, it slapped him. Prince Ivan saw blood coming out of the hand. When opened, Ivan saw a doll in red paint.
"Ha! A silly doll. I wonder why my father banned the closet from being opened."
But he didn't notice the doll had transformed into a strange man with a hunchback and long arms. "Thanks, friend."
Prince Ivan turned around and screamed.
"Father...I just saw a-a-a doll transform into a-a-a person." "Let me guess. You opened the closet," said the king. "Yes," Ivan admitted.
"Well, there is nothing we can do about it," said the king. And to this day, we know this man to be Koschei the Deathless.(He is immortal) Some claim that he roams the land to this day.
As for the closet-it vanished.

The Tale of Vasilisa the Beautiful and Baba Yaga
This is not a fairytale that I made up. It is about Baba Yaga. Enjoy!
There was once a beautiful girl that was named Vasilisa. She was sent to go to a ball for the prince. Sadly, the ignorant prince thought she was ugly.
Brokenhearted, Vasilisa ran away from home and foolishly searched for Baba Yaga to make her as beautiful as the sunset.
In case you do not know, Baba Yaga was an evil witch who made riddles in which the wrong answer could lead to death.
Vasilisa searched for Baba Yaga, awaiting a dangerous adventure.
There was a river she had to cross. Walking towards it, she found that a branch blocked her path. When Vasilisa found that the branch was broken, she fixed the branch and bound it in bandages. "Because you have been kind to me, I will not only let you pass, but give you a word of advice. You were sent to do something every time you go somewhere, because you were meant to go there, not by your will," said the branch.
When she got to the river, there was a fish on the ground. Vasilisa put the fish back into the water. "Because you have been kind to me, I shall not only carry you across the river, but give you a word of advice. Make new trails; do not follow one trail that someone has already created," said the fish. Vasilisa heeded the fish's advice, and was carried across the river.
Now she saw an owl with a splinter in her wing. Vasilisa took it out. "Because you have been kind to me, I shall not only carry you across these trees to Baba Yaga's hut so that you won't get lost, but give you a word of advice. You step in a new river everyday." The owl carried Vasilisa across the trees in the forest.
Vasilisa arrived at Baba Yaga's hut. "I know what you want," said Baba Yaga. She took out a ring from her pocket and said, "When you put on this ring, you will become as beautiful as the sunset." Vasilisa took the ring, and, without hesitation, leaped towards the gate, but it closed by magic. Baba Yaga cackled an evil laugh. "Before you leave, I must ask you three questions. If you answer incorrectly, I shall kill you! Were you sent here?" Vasilisa remembered. "Yes." "Are you supposed to make new trails everyday?" Vasilisa remembered. "Yes." Baba Yaga was slowly starting to fume. "Do you step in a new river everyday?" Vasilisa remembered. "Yes." "NO! NO! NO!" Baba Yaga shouted angrily. The gates opened, and Vasilisa ran, followed by Baba Yaga.
"I will not let you find your way, because Vasilisa has been kind to me, and you stuck that splinter into my wing," said the owl. But Baba Yaga did find her way.
"I will not help you cross, because Vasilisa has been kind to me, and you threw me onto the ground to where I could not breathe," said the fish. But Baba Yaga jumped over the river by using her magic.
"I will not let you pass, because Vasilisa has been kind to me, and you have broken my branch," said the tree, and all the other trees agreed. When Baba Yaga tried to jump over the trees by using her magic, she found that she could not because the trees were too high a distance for a witch to jump over. When she tried to squeeze through the trees, she found that she was too fat. And when she tried to dig her way under the trees, she found that their roots reached to the core of the earth. Baba Yaga was imprisoned behind the trees.
Vasilisa had put on her ring, and when Vasilisa saw that it didn't work, the prince, feeling sorry for her, realized that it was the inside of a person that matters, and married her anyway. THE END
Listen, I pretty much changed the entire story, but I hope you like it anyway. Make a new trail everyday; don't be a follower, be a leader. And you step in a new river everyday, because you learn something everyday.

The Time Travel Adventure: Part 2
<< Continued from "The Time Travel Adventure: Part 1"
"This is my husband, Elliot," said Kathleen. Wait. Elliot wasn't the first name of J.K. Rowling's grandfather. He was a spy desperate to make sure J.K. Rowling wasn't born! "Really?" "Well no, we're just dating." Whew! "What job does he have?" "He cooks in a restaurant." "Then how come this Spy Badge is in his pocket?" John took out the badge from his pocket.
Kathleen stopped dating Elliot and dated & married someone else. J.K. Rowling was born and they all lived happily ever after.

The Time Travel Adventure: Part 1
Listen, I'm fascinated with Time Travel. So I decided to create a time travel adventure. Enjoy!
John Kipling was a time traveler. He was sent back in time on a mission assigned to him by the government. In the adventure, John had to stop some spies trying to change the world-for the worse-through changing time.
What? Where am I? Am I dead? thought John. No. I can't be. I just got sent to go on a mission for the government. Of course I'm not dead.
Someone opened the door. It was a man. "Hey!" he said. "Hey!"
Suddenly a woman came out of the door. "I don't trust him!" cried out the man. John smiled weekly. "Calm down man!" cried out somebody. It was a woman who had just walked out of the door. "Now, hello young man. Would you like to stay for the night?" "Yes, please," said John, aware of his mission. "What's your name?" "Kathleen." Kathleen was supposed to be J.K. Rowling's grandmother!

The Amulet
This is a futuristic story-similar to a book I'm writing right now. This story is known as The Amulet.
Once upon a time, the builders of an underwater paradise decided to create an Amulet that contained electrical abilities.
A thousand years later, a boy named Adrian found the Amulet. He wore it everywhere. But the Amulet was also a link to a secret society. And so the society followed him.
However, the boy dropped the Amulet. There the sun gave more abilities to the Amulet. It was solar-powered!
Pretty soon, the Amulet downloaded every bit of computer images and information. Nowadays, EVERYONE is looking for the Amulet.
No one knows what happened to the Amulet. Some say a society member betrayed the society and took the Amulet only to find out that it was fake. Others say the Amulet was destroyed.
Well, that is it. Hope you like this story!

The Scepter of Ool
Once upon a time, there was a magician. A wizard, actually. But he was called a magician anyways. This man had powers beyond anything you could imagine. The thing that gave him these powers was a scepter. If this scepter was destroyed, then the place where the magician came from would disappear.
One day the scepter was lost. A prophecy stated that 500 years later, someone would find the scepter and be the true ruler of the place where the magician came from. And that place was Ool.
500 years later, a spunky boy named Jack found the scepter. Suddenly he was transported to a totally different world. It was filled with talking teacups, hat transportation, everything you could imagine. "You're him! You've found the scepter!" people would say. Soon, an evil man named Ogol stole the scepter.
Jack and Ogol fought for the scepter. Until Ogol dropped the scepter. It shattered into a thousand pieces. Then a fairy emerged from the shattered bits of the scepter. "But why isn't this world destroyed?" asked Jack. "They were wrong. I was trapped in this scepter until now. I am free!" The fairy destroyed Ogol.
Jack went back to his own world. The fairy became the Queen of Ool. And they all lived happily ever after.
I love this story. I made it up myself. It is really awesome...in my opinion. Comments below.

Aspergers
I have a story to tell you. It is about a little boy who has a mental disorder known as Aspergers Syndrome.
One day God opened a window and sent a boy a gift. It was the gift of writing. This boy had done very strange things in his life.
One day after asking about suicide, his parents sent him to a psychologist. Her name was Dana Griffin. She said he had Aspergers Syndrome.
The boy thought that Aspergers was a disease at first. But then he realized that Aspergers was actually sort of a blessing.
His life went on. He remained different. He was thinking about how Aspergers was just one of Nature's tricks.
I was that boy. At first Aspergers may seem like a disease when it really isn't. Remember...Aspergers is just one of Nature's dirty tricks.
I know that this isn't a fable or a story. But in a way it is. And I am going to create a web show called Aspergian, to show no Aspies aren't alone. Kids may laugh at you, but if you have Aspergers, then this time the joke is on them. Ha!

The Flower of Optimism
Listen, I know I've been writing poems every day. So now I will begin a fairytale I made up myself.
Based on the story of a four-leafed clover told usually on March 17
Every day in the world there was sadness. There was no rain, family members would die every second, there was a great famine every week-everything you could imagine.
One of the people to suffer was a girl named Becky. She tried her best to be optimistic. Meanwhile, underground the elf squad were searching for some optimism in the sad situation in the world.
God walked in to the elf squad's Room for Optimism Detection. "Is there any optimism that you detect?" "No," said an elf. "Wait...I think we've got a signal...from some girl named Becky." Suddenly this optimism activated a window from heaven to open. A spiritual flower grew from the ground as quickly as Jesus had flown off this earth.
Suddenly...it rained. Crops grew, and children and adults lived to a longer age. And if we stop being optimistic about sad situations that flower will die and the window from heaven will close.
I think this story gives a very important lesson. It teaches to be optimistic. Remember...today is a new day.

The Legend of The Water Wraith
I'll bet you guys will want to hear a SCARY story this time! I really like this story! ENJOY!
Once upon a time, there were sea-witches. They had put a curse on a the beach in revenge against their human husbands. One of the husbands had swam on this very beach, and he drowned.
To this day, if you ever see a strange man with his head peeking above the water, he shall pull you down to the deep, murky ocean. That man was the very same husband. That man had become a water wraith.
But William, a villager that lived in the village by the beach, did NOT believe this story. "Hogwash!" he would say. "What a silly thing to believe!"
One day, William walked to the beach. Nobody was there because they feared the legend.
He dove into the water.
Ever since then, no one had ever seen William.
Some think this story is a ridiculous, nonsensical fairytale. Others claim that William died. And others think that William became an apprentice of some sort to the sea-witches. We'll never know for sure...
I made this story all up. How do you like it? (Comments below.)

The Boy Who Met Fairytales
This is a story about a boy that met a strange world that involves Rumpelstilskin, Hansel and Gretel, and many other characters. Oh and I have one more word. This is how you spell it: E-N-J-O-Y!
Once upon a time there was a boy. His name was Hans Cristian Andersen. He was walking through the forest when he saw a doorway. Hans walked through it and the very next moment, he was in another world. He saw The Little Mermaid, and Inchelina, and other inhabitants of this world.
Hans Cristian Andersen decided to write the tales of the inhabitants he met so that he would never forget them. And that is how writers came to be!
I think that this is a very good story. And the strangest thing is that it symbolizes something so true. When Hans Cristian Andersen thought up of stories, he came up with ideas from a totally different world-his imagination.

Memories
I wrote this poem. It is about memories. It's short, but I think it is a good poem.
Memories
Some are bad,
Some are good,
Some are simply as they should
Memories are, in a way, unique
Just like a nurse, Miss Monique
Some memories are sad,
Like when I scraped my knee and that was bad.
But some are good
They may, they could
And some perhaps, should not or should!
But we must remember that memories are from above
And that all are made up of love.

Love
INTRODUCTION
I am sorry that I have not written to my blog for a few days. Anyways, here is a poem that I wrote to my
mom on her birthday. Enjoy!
Love is surrounding, engulfing the world
Then suddenly, disaster curled.
People started Hate.
A strange turn of fate.
But Hate could not destroy Love.
For Love floats like an immortal dove.
Love is immortal.
And you can't pull it apart
No matter how hard you try at the end
No matter how hard you try at the start.
I really hope that you enjoyed the poem. Sayonara for now!

This is a funny rhyme that I made up. Like I said, it's faerie tales AND OTHER stories...
There was once a cougar
Who had a booger.
He lived by the sea
And lived happily!
There was once an elephant
Who was quite elegant
But had a booger
Just like that cougar!
There was a trout
Who wanted to get out
The booger in that elephant
Who was quite elegant!
So she asked the cougar
How he got his booger...out.
And what had he replied?
"Just dig, my little fellow, and your friend will be satisfied!"
The first comment I'm probably going to find is "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! GROSS!"

Rip Van Winkle
INTRODUCTION
It is Day #5. It is COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD outside! Brrrr! And guess what? We present to you a tale told by Washington Irving. And that
tale is known as Rip Van Winkle. Enjoy the story...
Once upon a time, there was a good natured man known as Rip Van Winkle. There was a woman he loved. A very
special woman, too. But no one knew her name. Rip Winkle LOVED her. It was pure romance when he saw her.
Anyways, Winkle went home. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! YOU DID NOT DEAL WITH THE FARM, RIPPER!!" Rip's wife shouted. Ripper was
her favorite name to call Winkle. While yelling with her eyes closed, Rip deliberately went out of the room.
He was planning to go into the mountains to find a nice bird to eat. "RIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!" But
Rip was gone.
Winkle found a dwarf. The dwarf told Rip to drink a special drink. Rip did as he was told. Then, Rip fell in a deep sleep...
Rip woke up and found he had a beard! He found out that he was OLD! Climbing down the mountain, Rip found that years had passed.
He also found that his dream girl had married long ago, and that his wife died of pnemonia.
Though this tale is unique, it a sad story. But some things are meant to be.

The Dog and It's Shadow
INTRODUCTION
Today's date is Jan.6, 2010. And today we will present to you a tale told by a famous man named Aesop. It's called 'The Dog
and It's Shadow.' It teaches never to be jealous or greedy...
Once upon a time, there was a dog who had sniffed out a criminal. His reward? The dog got the most delectable and expensive
steak in the market.
The dog went up on a bridge called the "Lesson Bridge." Whoever steps foot on this bridge learns a lesson...
Lesson Bridge was silent and still. And so, the dog looked at his reflection in the water. The dog saw another dog with a steak.
His steak seemed bigger than his (this was caused by the ripples in the water)The real dog got angry because he had a smaller
steak. AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! The dog, not knowing very much, OPENED HIS MOUTH and growled.
The dog was so greedy and jealous at that time that he didn't notice his steak fall in the water(the steak fell in the water because
the dog opened it's mouth) The dog just whimpered and walked away. It had learned it's lesson.
This is a sad tale. However, it teaches that if we are not greedy (or jealous), we will go far in life.

Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp
INTRODUCTION
Today is Day #3, and I’d like to present to you a Chinese Fairie Tale known as “Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp.” This story starts off as a person outsmarts a genie. But that is another story…
Once upon a time, there was a poor old beggar named Aladdin. He lived with his mother in the Middle East. They loved each other very much, and their love was better than money. But they did not know that yet.
Aladdin was not what you would call a “good” boy. He spent hours with gangsters and did not care much for studying. But one day, everything changed. Everything. Because a magician moved in to China from Africa. He noticed Aladdin and found he was incredibly stealthy. So he took him under his wing.
The reason why exactly was because of a lamp. A magical lamp with a genie inside who would do anything he was told. But according to the rules of magic, someone else was needed to do get the lamp. Someone stealthy, someone spunky. That was the reason Aladdin was chosen.
And so, the magician went up to Aladdin and told him that he was his uncle. How wrong he was to believe that. After all, Aladdin’s uncle was dead, as was his father. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
The magician took Aladdin up on a hill. Aladdin’s “uncle” then uttered some magic words. “Baku, Baku, Baku.” Suddenly a mountain emerged from the hill. Aladdin was transported (by the magician) on the top of the mountain. Then a hole appeared on the top of the mountain. “I want you to give me a lamp. It’s inside that hole. Oh, and I’ve transported a ring with you. If anything goes wrong, just rub the ring, and a genie will come to deal with your needs.”
At that moment, the magician uttered some magic words, and in response a hole appeared in the very top of the mountain. Aladdin jumped in the hole.
In the mountain, Aladdin met djinns ( “djinns” is another word for “ghosts”) Aladdin met his dead father, who told him that the magician wasn’t his real uncle and that he was evil. “Is your name Aladdin?” asked a djinn. “Yes.” Aladdin was told that he was the chosen one, and so he was given a lamp. The lamp, thought Aladdin, should not be given to that cruel-hearted schemer. So, when requested, Aladdin had not given the lamp to the magician. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! GIVE ME THE LAMP OR YOU WILL DIE!!” Aladdin smirked. “What‘cha gonna do?” The magician lost his temper and cast Aladdin in a pit of pitch-black darkness, doomed to die of starvation.
But I will interrupt this story for a moment. The magician lost his temper-then cast Aladdin and his beloved lamp in a dark pit. What we notice here is that the magician lost his lamp by losing his temper. So, we learn NOT to lose our temper.
You see, the magician forgot about the genie in the ring. Aladdin used this genie to come back home. He told his mom about the lamp. Then, Aladdin noticed that there was some dirt on the lamp. Rubbing the lamp, Aladdin found a genie that would do anything that was asked of him.
Aladdin wanted to see a girl that he loved very much. It was a princess. They married and never heard of that magician with a disgusting temper.
I like this story. It teaches not to lose your temper.
Oh, and this is NOT the original story of Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp.

Paul Bunyan
INTRODUCTION
You know how big things always happen? Well, this time we present to you a tale called Paul Bunyan. It is a story that teaches that no matter what your size, or how clumsy you are, you can accomplish many, MANY things.
Once upon a time, in Maine, a large cradle appeared on the shore. And when I say a large cradle, I mean a LARGE cradle. It was about as big as two houses on top of each other, and as wide as three modern day apartments. Everyone, saw the large cradle. The townspeople were interested in the large cradle. And inside, there was a BABY!
At the time, the baby was named Paul Bunyan.
Soon, after Paul became an adult, he went off to face the world. Paul Bunyan went to the west. In a blizzard, Paul Bunyan found an ox. A blue ox. The ox was named Babe, and Paul kept the ox as a pet. But the most peculiar thing about Babe was that he was as big as Paul Bunyan…
Off went Paul Bunyan. He traveled to Minnesota. After having been lost in a rainstorm, Paul trudged on, and he escaped the rainstorm. He left footprints that were full of water. These footprints were called lakes. That is the reason why there are ten thousand lakes in Minnesota.
At the end of summer, Paul and Babe were in Wyoming, out west. They were so happy, they had a wrestling match. Because of all the stomping and the kicking, Paul and Babe created the Grand Tetons.
Babe and Paul found a place full of logging camps. There, they met a stranger named Joe Muffaw that challenged him to test whether his ox could pull trees down faster than a locomotive that pulled logs that Joe invented.
You might think Paul won the challenge- but no. Babe lost by an unmerciful half an inch. So Paul headed up north.
No one knows what happened to Paul these days. But I think it must be something good, after all that had happened to him.

Faerie Tales & Other Stories
THE PIED PIPER OF HAMELIN
INTRODUCTION:
I am planning to write a blog. This blog will take 365 days to finish (or, for that matter, 366 days, in case of a leap year). And this blog is about fairie tales-& other stories. Today is Day #1.
There is a story called "The Pied Piper of Hamelin." I will be telling you this story today...
Once upon a time, there was a Pied Piper who lived in the Medieval times, around the 1200's.
And at that time, there was an infestation of RATS. Rats bothered cooks, and annoyed people while they were at home.
And then there is the following question: What is a Pied Piper? Well, a Pied Piper is someone who rids of beasts and pests. So it was the Pied Piper's job to get rid of the rats. But after asking if he could help stop the infestation of the rats, no one even considered it. And a child said "You should get yourself a hearing and go to jail." The Pied Piper was hurt, emotionally, so he promised revenge on the boy.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin decided to ask the mayor if he could, in a way, help stop all the rats. The mayor agreed. In exchange for stopping all the rats, the Pied Piper would get a lot of gold pieces, more than the mayor could afford. But the mayor did not believe in the Pied Piper, so he didn't care. But there was yet for him to have a lesson learned...
You see, the Pied Piper had a magical flute. Playing notes on the flute, the rats followed the Pied Piper up to the River West. After stopping there, all the rats tumbled into the river.
Everyone cheered for the Pied Piper of Hamelin. "Where's my money?" the Pied Piper asked the mayor. The mayor, you see, was dumbstruck. He couldn't pay the Pied Piper. He did not have enough money. "Pay me by the time the sun gets darker- or else."
After this, the mayor talked with others of Hamelin. Then he had a plan.
By the time the sun got darker, the Pied Piper went up to the mayor. "We were going to make a little prank on you! You didn't think we'd pay you, did you?" At this, the Pied Piper grew extremely angry. He then played three notes on his flute. Soon, children came flooding into the street. The Pied Piper led the children into the mountains, and in the mountains there was a magical portal that led to a world where birds sang and horses had wings. Every child went inside the portal... except the child that insulted the Pied Piper. The portal closed in on that child.
The sad child went back home and told his story. After telling his story of where the children were, the villagers wrote this story on a stone near the closed portal. But if they learned anything from what happened, it's to keep your promises... and to think about a promise before you make one.
