The adventure with the ice men

Once upon a time I was fishing out in the ocean with dad, then the waves grew high and we were on a big pirate ship. And the waves grew higher and higher. And then everything froze into ice and me and dad were surprised. And then there was a big crack in the ice and then the pieces of ice cracked loose from the other pieces surrounding it. There was a big head sticking out. Arms started to come out and started to push the creature out of the water. Then there's a straight line of cracked ice again. Up raised a sharp icicle-like back. Some more ice broke. Then its neck started to come up. Me and dad's ship was starting to freeze. The ice rose up the edges and then started to get into the insides of the ship and then it started to freeze all around us. There was just a little circle where no ice had gotten to yet.

Then we climbed carefully up the frozen rope into the lookout. Then we grabbed a loose piece of rope and we swung down up where the steering wheel is. Then we climbed down the ladder and since below us was frozen we would slip if we stepped down, so we held onto the edge of the ladder and then Daddy and I jumped off the ladder.

Then me and Daddy grabbed onto the door handle and then we pushed and then opened the door to the cabin. We swung into the cabin. We boiled some water, poured it in pots. Then we put the pots onn the stove. Then we put them in front of the door so the ice could not freeze the door or would not get through the bottom crack of the door.

Then we put our ice skates on. We used a hammer and swung it and made a big hole in the ship. We climbed through it and then out onto the ice. At first I slipped a couple times because I did not know how to ice skate. And once I was taught how, we skated across the ice.

Then there was a big bump. and that bump was caused by how the ice froze up onto the land. Then we came to be in the arctic.

Then the ice monster finally broke out and busted out of the ice. It started to run and Daddy and I took off our skates because it was just snow and not ice. And then we started to run. And we ran for quite a while. We found a huge ice castle. It was pure see-through ice. Then we ran into the big castle and it was so long and big you could not see the end of it. And then we just ran and ran. Then the ice became too slippery. We put back on our ice skates and skated. Then we started to skate with our eyes closed and then we crashed into a wall. A big archway tumbled down. Behind it was lots and lots of guards. They were like gigantic ice monsters.

They made a pathway. There's a big ice chair with the biggest ice dragon I've ever seen. We were so scared we tried running upstairs. And then I  got out my ice drill and started to drill into the walls of the castle. It took me one hour to drill out a big piece of ice. There was only a thin strip of ice holding the big ginormous chunk of ice. And then I cut that and there was a sound, and it sounded like Shrrrrringgg. And then down went the chunk!

All the ice monsters started to run and then the ice cube crashed onto the ground. Only ten ice monsters got crushed, and it made a big hole in the floor. We saw a big gigantic sword sling right through the ice. It was very very sharp!

The sword moved a little, and then it got slung out. There was a big cwwwwuuuu cwwwwuuu on the icy floor.

We heard a HUUURAAH! Then the ice dragon said, "Crush!"

Then all the ice monsters blasted through the big chunk of ice. They took out crossbows and then Daddy and I remembered how we swung down from the lookout of the pirate ship onto the part where the steering wheel is. And then we cracked some ice tile. Picked up a chunk. Then threw it into the air, and once it hit the ceiling icicles started to come down everywhere, and the points of the icicles froze into the floor so we didn't have to jump. Daddy and I put our sharp claw-gloves on and then started to climb very fast.

And then the ice dragon's servants came climbing up after us still holding their crossbows! Then we started to leap from icicle to icicle. Then they started to shoot their crossbows at us. And we swung from icicle to icicle. And since we were swinging, the got all dizzy from trying to track us. And then they started to fall!

A couple broke because they had a hard landing, and turned into shiverings of ice on the floor. And then we heard a crrssssh!

And then, very very far away, we looked in our binoculars and we saw at the front entrance that big ice monster who broke out of the ice and froze our pirate ship had come back.

Then I remembered something we'd done a long long time ago. I took out a very old trumpet, and then blew it. And then there's a big noise. It sounded like screeches, and a whole group of eagles that had really big wings and where white and beautiful and each one had a jewel on their forehead that was made out of ice. And then they came. I jumped onto them. And then I suddenly remembered them. And Daddy jumped onto another one. Then we told them to fly very fast out of the ice kingdom.

We said, "See ya later, ice-agators!"

Then they flew us home.

The end.

The Adventures of the Dunkleosteus

My favorite dinosaur is Dunkleosteus. One time, Robertson was fishing in the ocean. One time, something bit his hook on his fishing pole. And it almost pulled Robertson into the water. Robertson was battling with the Dunkleosteus and in a couple of hours the Dunkleosteus splashed out of the water onto the boat. Robertson was amazed to see a dinosaur still alive!

He called scientists to study it. The fish was awesome!

The end.

The Power of Sabers

Once upon a time, I had a big jeep. So, I went out into the desert to dig for fossils. And on my way out to find the fossils, I met a kind sabertooth tiger. And I was amazed to see a real dinosaur still alive!

And I kept him for a pet. He was nice to my friends. My friends always liked to pet him. And one time, there was a war and I signed up to be in the war. I signed up my sabertooth tiger also. I got my own suit and a gun. I signed up to be on a aircraft carrier. I got my very own golden badge and the same with my sabertooth.

The war started to begin. But before it began, I saw a unicorn stuck in the water. I helped the unicorn out and the unicorn got a badge and a suit. So to help me battle I had two things. And the cool thing is, I made the aircraft carrier, so there's no people on it, except me, and my pets.And already waiting there was a couple more pets.

My pets were a phenoix and a griffon, and they were ready to take off and fight. And I brought my friends to drive the jets. The cool thing is, the jets had atomic bombs and great speed at the back--fire shot out and made a smoke line (a contrail).

And also the cool thing about my air craft carrier, on one side, hanging off the sides, are poles. And they both have battle submarines. And on the other side of my air craft carrier ship, there's two more poles that were made really strong. And on the poles were battleships. And there was many other bad ships out in the ocean. And then, in a group, out of the water, came a lot more of my friends. I asked them if they would want to help me battle.

Do you want to know what type of animal they are?

They are, dolphins, an anglerfish, a giant squid, a baluga whale, and a vampire squid.

And they all wanted to help! So I gave them suits and badges, and do you know why they don't have guns or any weapons? Because they have their own creature powers. The anglerfish has the antennae and big teeth, and the dolphin is really smart, the giant squid is really strong and big, the baluga whale has teeth and is really strong, and the vampire squid has eyes on top of him to scare people and to trick them, because their eyes are actually on the bottom, and on their webbed tentacles they got pokies. And then from the king battleship, he called through a microphone that led to speakers, "The battle will begin!"

And then he counted down to three, and once he got to zero, the tanks started to shoot their guns, and the boats started to move slowly and the army men ran to their hiding places.

And the war began. There was little clicking things on the strong metal poles on each side of my ship that made them shoot off above the water. And when the war was done I won the battle. Five hundred army men died. A hundred tanks got exploded. Twenty ships got exploded. And lucky for me, none of my pets or friends have died.

And after that I finally got to work and dig up bones. And all my friends helped me dig. And I brought a huge fishtank so the animals who live in water can watch. So me and the Saber saved the day and we had a party with all my friends. We sang music, had cake. It was the funnest day ever. That which made me think of something really cool. I could make a bunch of vehicles for all my friends to drive in. And then my last friend arrived at the party, just in time for me to tell them what I just thought of. My friend was a cheetah. I was going to make an army of red-marked tie fighters and they were going to be good tie fighters. And when another battle happens, they will be sitting on the ground and then when they start to go up in the sky and the top of the tie fighter with the antennae will be facing forward. And then I'll tell them to stand up straight and ready, and they'll create a sign--the empire sign.

The end.

Who Gets the Treasures

There was this pokey peak mountain. Around the mountain it is always grey and black. And if you're far away you can see there's always a big lightning storm on the top of the mountain...and a dragon lives in it.

All the plants and leaves are black and grey because of the dragon's fire. The dragon wants his mountain to look spooky and dark. Daddy and I were riding a big deer. It went up to the mountain and it threw us off of its back and we landed right on top of the treasures and the dragon woke up.

The dragon said, "Who's there? Is anybody trying to sneak up on me?"

We quickly hid, but we had our creature power suits. So we turned into a hermit crab with our creature power suits. We found a treasure chest. We dumped the treasure out and we put it on us as a shell. And we made the treasure box close so then it looked normal. And the dragon went back to sleep. And then we went out and deactivated our suits. Then we went closer and we turned our creature power suits into a bug called a twing-twan and it always comes when a dragon's sleeping to clean the dragon's teeth. So we climbed up into the dragon's mouth and we went deep into his belly instead of cleaning his teeth. We saw down there really precious stuff! We found--well of course--dead fish, but the treasures we found in there were a diamond ring and an amethyst ring and a couple of gold coins. But we found one of the most special and powerful things in the entire universe--even more powerful than the black holes.

It was an emerald ring!! It made you so powerful when you wore it. You could stop a tornado. You just put your hand out and it stops! If there's a flash flood, put your hand out, the flash flood will go away! And the dragon hid it in there, but we kept it. We put the ring on us and we also found a ring just like it. They both had the same amount of power. And my dad got one and I got one.

We used our rings to destroy the dragon! But the rings power will never end, so we can use it forever. And good our deer didn't get eaten.

Then we went out to the ocean to see if everything is doing good there. We went down to a coral reef. On corals there are these little starfish creatures. Inside their arms there were teeny arrows, and when there is this certain type of shrimp, they launch and it goes right inside the shrimp and they shove them into their mouth. And then we went on. We found a shark egg. We took it and put it in this huge gigantical container. So then we saw it hatch. We went out in our scuba diving equipment. We saw an angler fish and it was chasing this kind of creature and inside it was blue goo. It squirted it on the angler fish and the angler fish went away. And we went deep, deep down but we went a lot south. And then we came into the sea of the South Pole. We saw giant squid. One tried to gobble up me! And we saw penguins in the water. And then we went up out of the water and we went to Africa. I saw cheetahs. They run seventy miles per hour. I saw herds of gazelles. And we saw vultures. And then we went back into the ocean and saw dolphins. One tried to talk to me. He went aaaack aaa-aaa.

Then we went to Alaska and we saw peraguin falcons. They have a lot of speed and are almost as fast as a cheetah. They go high in the air and then they make a u-turn and swoop right down and go forward. And that's how they do it sometimes to catch prey. We went to a lot of places on Earth.

The Nature Story

Once upon a time Daddy and I were hiking in the Amazon Rainforest. Daddy and I saw a Philippine Monkey Eating Eagle and some monkeys got to close to the nest! The eagle protected his baby eagles and swooped down and scared away the monkeys. The Philippine Monkey Eating Eagle sat in her nest. Daddy and I climbed up the tree with the eagle in it. Daddy and I a good look at the eagle. The eagle used his beak and ate all the bugs that were on chest feathers. We turned our heads and looked a couple trees away. We saw those monkeys. The monkeys were eating sugar canes. We went in a canoe and we scuba dived in a river and we saw down there in the river the big-lunged fish. Some of his scales were black, but most of his scales were green. He was an awesome fish. And we got to touch him. The storms get big there in the rainforest, and when it rains really hard. Fruit falls off the trees and the fish eat it. And we also saw a sloth. The sloth had three long fingers; those fingers were about three long and they moved really slowly.

The ten gunned tie fighter battle

Once upon a time the Executor sent a storm trooper ship and the Executor also sent out tie fighters. One tie fighter had 10 guns, then Kilo Ren's ship showed up.
Kilo Ren said, "There are b-wings approaching the ship."
On Tatooine there was a war. There were tie fighters and pilots and storm troopers. That was the bad sides team.
The good side team had x-wings, pilots, BB-8 and Finn. The war was around an alien's temple. Then Yoda the Jedi Master showed up. He acted like he wasn't Yoda to Luke Skywalker. Do you know what he did?
Luke Skywalker talked Yoda (who was acting like a different person). Luke Skywalker asked Yoda, "Does Yoda live close to here?"
Yoda (who was acting like a different person) said, being funny, "Yoda lives very close to here." And Luke Skywalker was actually in Yoda's house. The Imperial star destroyer got destroyed by b-wings. Zeeeeowm, the tie fighter with ten guns shoots by the Executor. The Executor puts that tie fighter into the Exector's ship. The Millennium Falcon shoots at the Executor but the Executor shoots back. The Executor wins. Tie fighters were chasing the Millennium Falcon around the Imperial star destroyer. Then the Millennium Falcon and the tie fighters go through an asteroid field. The Millennium Falcon lands in one of the holes on the asteroid.
"That's no hole! That's a giant asteroid worm!"

Nathan's favorite vehicle in the story was the ten gunned tie fighter. And also the Executor

The Star Wars Battle

The Death Star was coming to the planet Naboo. B-wings and X-wings were getting ready to attack. They set off. From Keaneous the Millennium Falcon set off.
BZZZZZ the Death Star shot its laser beam.
BOOM BOOM! Some ships blew up. But BANG BANG! the X-wings, the B-wings and the Millennium Falcon shot their guns at the Death Star. From Corumba came a MC80 Star Crusier, The Death Star sucked up the MC80 Star Cruiser. 402 people came out of the MC80 Star Cruiser. They shot their guns. 300 storm troopers died. The ship driver set off through the Death Star. They went up an elevator in the Death Star. They went into the control room of the Death Star. A hundred drivers of the Death Star died. They set off through the hallway, they shot open the trash can doorway. Storm troopers shot their way through the wall. 80 of them died. Then the MC80 Star Cruiser drivers jumped in the trash compactor. They heard a EEEEERNT! One of the MC80 Star Cruiser drivers said, "I have a bad feeling about this." SPLASH.
A hammerhead monster head poked out of the sludge. One of the MC80 Star Cruiser drivers got grabbed. The other drivers were slushing around in the sludge. They wondered where he went. They heard a RRRAAANT. RRRAAAANT. The MC80 drivers found the other MC80 driver. They said, "What happened?"
The Driver said, "I don't know," while he was coughing out the sludge.They got out of the trash compactor. They went back through the hallway, through the Death Star. There was a group of storm troopers, there was a 60 storm troopers.
One of the pilots said, "Let me shoot you down!" He came running back saying, "AAAHHHH!"
BEW-BEW
The storm troopers were shooting at him.
50 of the storm troopers died. The pilots got away with the MC80 Star Cruiser. With one laser shot from the MC80 Star Cruiser the Death Star was gone!
The Executor and a couple of Star Destroyers came together in a group. Together they shot all the guns they had. FEWF.
No ships blew up. The Star Destroyer and the Executor were blown up. Then a quadrillion tie fighters showed up. The tie fighters shot their guns. 80 thousand tie fighters blew up, but 10 B-wings and X-wings blew up. The Millennium Falcon and the MC80 Star Cruiser got away.
The end.

The Cave Creep

Once upon a time, Nathan and Daddy were creeping along in a dark cave. We heard a sound. It was a  voice talking. The voice said, "Gleepy-gleepy-gleepy" And then we heard a creeesh! (Crashing sound)

And then we saw some  shiny sharp teeth. It was a T-Rex! And then the voice said, "Gleepy-gleepy" And then right after he said that, the T-Rex fell back. The noise had helped Nathan and Daddy to defeat the T-Rex.

And then we snuck more into the cave. And heard some very creepy noises. One noise sounded like this: sneaky sneaky. And another one said, Hawwwooo-ah, Hawwwooo-ah, And we heard another very creepy sound, Coowah, Coowah.

And then we ran out of the cave. But right when we almost got out of the cave a big rock rolled in front. We ran back into the cave. I took out my sword. And I held a torch. And ran through the cave. Daddy and Nathan went up some stairs in the cave. We went up so high it took more than a year to get to the top. And when we got to the very top, we were in outer space!! And there's a hole in the very top, with a rocket in the hole. We jumped in the hole and blasted off in the rocket ship. We flew to Mars and we landed in a cold place. My lego thing that was big was called The Rules of the Commands. We hoped in and went into the place where you turn to ice.

Me and Daddy was one of the hot guys that drove The Rules of the Commands.

We heard the biggest crash of all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then we ran and shot my tiger things guns. Then a T-Rex stomped and I hit the T-Rex in the face.

Mars exploded!!!!

My tiger thing and Dad hopped into the tiger thing and blasted off!!!

The helicopter chase

Once upon a time, my mousy friend went to the junkyard. And while the monster trucks were playing a bad helicopter swooped down and grabbed one of his favorite monster trucks. Then my mousy friend got an idea. He said, "Let's use a jet!"
So they went to the airport and then got in one of the fastest biggest jets and fire shot out the back. Well his plan didn't work!! The helicopter shot a gun him! And it broke the jet. And then they went falling to the ground. Luckily no one was hurt!
My mousy friend and his dad landed on a big big big mountain on a path. And they saw the jet fall and crash into a big tree. They were happy that they didn't stay in the jet when it got broken. And then they went hiking on the trail. It let from the foothills to the mountains to the desert. And then he was walking in the desert. He saw a big uh-oh. There was a part called, Scorpion Sting! The scorpion sat on the side of the path. And their stingers went over their heads, onto the path. Well they stung in a pattern.
(Do you know what the pattern was like?)
Sting-sting-stop. Sting-sting-stop.
And when they went through that. There was another oh-oh!
Explosion rock canyon! The rocks exploded in a pattern too!
They went:
Explode explode explode explode explode. And they never stopped exploding! So my mousy friend had another very big problem. He said "Let's use the Toon Plane" (that's like on Mickey Mouse)
And they flew over the explosions. While they were going through, their started to happen a problem. The rocks started to fly higher. So they had to fly faster. And soon, at the end of explosion rock canyo0n--then their was another big big big uh-oh!
It was called sting bug spray!! Where the sting bug's spray the path with stinky spray! And some of the spray was poison.
So they didn't know what to do with that. My mousy friend thought for a minute. Then he said "yay! Let's go around them." And then suddenly they saw the helicopter with his favorite monster truck. The helicopter dropped a big crate of water. Then they said, "What are we going to do! What are we going to do?!"
Well they ran around in circles. They said, "I know, lets just explode it!"
Then he said, "no no, I don't think that would work. We will get splatted wet!"
And my mousy friend ran right through the water and said, "That was fun!"
And then my mousey friends dad ran through it and it knocked off his glasses!
He said now I need to go back in the water, but his sunglasses were gone. They were on the monster truck's windshield. My mousy friend said, "That looks crazy."
And then my mousy friend said, "the only thing we have to do to get that monster truck back to the junkyard is to just fly up there in a jet."
And my mousy friend's dad said, "Remember! We already did that. And it didn't work out."
My mousy said, "Oh, Yea."
And then they thought for like an hour. And then, (do you know what they said?)
"Let's bring our pet cat and helicopters don't like cats!"
So the cat growled at the helicopter. The helicopter dropped the monster truck onto a big trampoline they had and then the only thing they have to do is drive that monster truck back to the monster truck show, and get on going!
So they went through the spray, and they closed their windows, but then the monster truck got stinky!
And then they went through explosion rock canyon and then cut the scorpions tails off! And then they got back to the monster truck show and they had so much fun.
The end!

The funniest day of all

Once upon a time, Bilbo Baggins had the dwarves divided. They wanted so much food it overflowed his house and busted out the door. And everything came flying out! And filled his whole front yard and his whole house with food! Beef cakes salad pies everywhere! Gandalf came over and started squishing the food and then there were food pictures all over his garden. He said what are all these pictures in my gard3en? Is this all my imagination or what is it!?
He saw Gandalf straight behind him looking down he was so afraid he ran right out of his garden. And Gandalf said well now I can get in the house. And he got in and food started busting out! And it made Gandalf fly right out in front of the door and he said, What is going on dwarf?
and it made his coat fly and his made his hat fly off aont the chimeney. And then they were cooking some hot dogs and smoke came out the chimney and started boiling his hat and then when he got there yesterday moring he saw a burned up hat in the fire place.
He said, What is that my hat?
And the Dwarves were stuck in the chimeny. They were trying to get up to get the hat. And then they got unstuck and when they climbed up they looked down and fell right into the roof. And then fell right into the floor in the house. and they smelled the food. And then they accidently ate a bee in a honey jar. A glass honey jar with two bees in it. He said he coughed for two hours and then in the top of his head were angry. They were making it all flop around (his head). And then he couldn't think. And his eyes were going around and around and around and it almost sounded like they had swirlies on them.
And then he said what are those little bumps in my head. Did I get an ouhy? And then when the sun went down, it was dark out and the dwarf was afraid of the dark. He said, I'm scared!!!!!!!!!"
And his eyes got huge! And his mouth opened wide!
The Dwarf ran outside and he thought he was going into the house and then he scattered out! And then he saw Smaug walking on the street. I'm scarred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And then Smaug blew fire. Gandalf busted out the door! And when he was defeated there was just a dwarf with a white blanket on his head with black eyes and he said It's a ghost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He scattered back into the house and was fast asleep. He dreamed about dragons and ghosts and going on adventures.
The end.
*(a story told after Daddy read the first half of the first chapter of the Hobbit to Nathan.)_

Nathan's Best Story

Once upon a time, my mousy friend was driving through the forest. He was riding in a monster truck. It's name was, MAX-D. And their mom and dad were in a Ninja Turtle Monster Truck. And they were driving in the woods. They turned their monster truck into a submarine and dived into a big big lake. They swam in the lake. And in the lake they saw a little little hump in the water that was purple. And then they saw a little little squiggly squaggly lines that had suctions on them. And then there was another one of the same thing. And they saw a lump. It was green. Sloppy green. And light green. And then they saw squiggaly Squaggaly lines again. With suctions on them. It was two sea monsters!!!
And when they passed them they saw kind of like an oval with a fin and a tale wagging side to side. And then he saw eyes and a pokey looking nose. It was an army of sharks!!!
They splashed out of the pool and turned back into a monster truck!
They drove off into the forest. And then they got in to the United States of America. They heard trumpets. They saw an American flag waving. It was an army of soldiers. (They are good soldiers). And then they rode off. Then they drove over the foothills and down into a deep deep deep valley. It was wonderful. And then he went over the mountains. And then down down down into the desert. He rode with dust coming behind.
My mousy friend and his mom and dad turned their monster trucks into a race car! And they can do tricks. They saw the edge of a desert mountain and then they got so much speed and their engine had so much of a rumble they drove right high up on the edge of a desert mountain. And then when they came to their workshops they showed their friend from in the past. Someone drew them a newspaper. It was drawn in 2011. The picture was about my mousy friends and mom's and dad's big big big crash.
Their whole car was crashed. And then that was the end.

The monster truck hunt

Once upon a time my mousy friend was driving in his monster truck. And its name was . . . El Toro Loco!!!!
And his mom and dad was driving in Grave Digger!!!! And his pet dog named Med and Med's one was called, Mad Trax Tank. It had red pokies on it! They were driving in the jungle. And they heard a Chh,trr chh.
They saw two gleaming eyes out poking out of a bush nearby. My mousey frined just turned off the rode and knocked the bush into pieces. My mousy friend saw a little eye poking out of the bush next to it. There was a big tree nearby. He said YES, let me knock that one over! He broke it and made it go snap and it fell on the creature. He heard a ReeeeaWWWW! He just only saw a little waggy tail poking out of the tree, saying "SSSSSSS". Out poked a head! And said, "BLAH!"
And my mousy friend in his monster truck, he ponked right into the creature and ponked. My mousy friend drewv off in his monster truck. Soon he was lost from his mom and dad. But the only thing he had was his little doggy friend driving beside him. Suddenly heard a RRRAWWRGGRRR. Something was stomping through the bushes. Then he heard a RROOOOORW!!!!!!!!!!!!
And he turned around and raced around through the opening roads. The dog was still driving beside him. And then the noise got louder!
And they heard a RRRRRRRRROOOOWWWAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And he just raced through the opening roads breaking through ponds, breaking through trees and bushes, and everything!
Busting through the forest he went! Then the noise got even louder!
They heard a RRRRRRRRROOOOOOOWWWWAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then he dashed as fast as he could go! And then the noise came even louder!
RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He dashed through the forest as fast as monster trucks could go! He saw a big jump ahead of him. he just blasted into the air!!! And knocked down a tree! And he went smash right on his monster truck tires! They still didn't even pop!
He was going very fast, his engine was rumbling, his wheels were spinning. And then he heard a RRRRRRRRWOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He dashed through the jungle! He wasn't worrying about getting eaten. He just knew that he could find his way out of the jungle. He saw his dog sniffing. He said what's going on my pal? The doggy just kept on sniffing. My mousy friend said, "Oh, are you looking for your bone?"
The only thing the dog did was bark, and put his head up and down.  My mousy friend threw a bone out his window. The dog buried it and went on in his little monster tank. And my mousy friend didn't know what was going on. Because he didn't eat it. So my mousy friend just threw 200 bags full of bones in his monster tank.  And then he heard a rrrraaaaawr . . .
The dog turned around and went towards the noise. My mousy friend turned around and went to.
It got louder, and then lower. When they went closer and closer, it went lower and lower. They didn't know what was going on. Then they heard a little, Meeeoooww. My mousy friend got out of his truck and picked the animal up. It was a cat. A nice little cat. His dog wouldn't chase him because he was a good golden retriever. The only thing the dog liked to do with the cat is play. They had fun together and became best friends. They drewv through the jungle with the cat. And then they heard another rruufff. It was a little doggy. My mousy friend named him, Fruff. He danced through the forest with his music in the monster truck.
The dog and the cat liked the music. They danced and played in the back.
There was tons of yarn back there for the kitty cat to play with. And buckets full of fish!
And the doggy ate good bones and he got a ball and a bone to play with.
And while they were having fun, it was time to go to bed. So they got out of their monster trucks and the dog got out of the tank. The cat and the dog got out of the back of the truck. They all set up their tents and slept.
While they were sleeping, they went out and ate. They got back into their monster trucks and the dog jumped into the tank and closed the lid and drewv out into the forest (because they got out of the jungle).
And my mousy friend went on happily and got a little hamburger and a burrito and some chips. The chips were for the dogs and the cat. The hamburger and the burrito were for my mousy friend. And the dog got some lettuce. And they all ate in their cars. They had a fun time together. The cat was one years-old, the dog was two years old, the big golden retriever was seven years old. And they had a fun fun time together.
They were having fun in their own little cars. They drewv home and found their mom and dad asleep in their bed. They got ready for bed and they went to sleep.
The end.

The sleeping giant and the spell and the dinoaur times with talking animals in land before time

Once upon a time, we were hiking up a mountain that was 99 feet tall. And we hiked and hiked for fifty-five days. But we were still not at the top! So we hiked one more day. We were at the top. It was snowy and icy up there. There came a storm. All the icicles started flicking in the air. And they were flying down the giant mountain. But when it calmed down we hiked back up there. We heard a rumbling sound. We were on the sleeping giant-kind-of volcanoe! We blasted up in the air! We fell right into a rain forest. It was beautiful. We went up a tree and we searched everywhere. Then we found a sloth holding onto our shoe. He was saying Rwah Rrawh. We carried him back down to the ground. We taught him how to talk. He said there are dinosaurs coming! The sleeping giant had put the spell on us!

So the lands our going to change. So this land is going to change into a dinosaur land! And then it will stay like that. It will not change. So we were walking around in the dinosaur time. We heard a kaboom kaboom kaboom! We saw a little snout poke out of some trees that were three feet ahead of us. We saw a giant head poke out! And we heard a RRRRaaaaarah. We heard him running! Do you know what it sounded like?
Ch-ch-ch-ch.

We saw a stegosaurus. The T-rex was trying to fight the stegosaurus. A whole family of stegosaurus and triceratops came. But the sloth said, "It will change just a little bit." So it turned into talking dinosaurs!

We saw a triceratops crack out of its egg. And we named it Sarah. And we saw the mothers tail sitting around the egg. We saw a scavanger and do you know what he said?

(said in a whisper) "That will be mine!"

Ka-splash! And he grabbed the egg. The mommy whapped its tail on the raptor and the raptor was splashing in the water. And do you know what the egg said?

Mmmmaaah.

Kkk-kkck

It landed down a waterfall. And we named him Littlefoot. He started playing together with Sarah. He started talking about the great valley.

Littlefoot said, "I wish we were there now. But it's a long way yet. Past the rock that looks like a long neck, Past the mountain that burns. It's still a long way. But we'll get there."

Bzzzz.

Raaaaaw.

Hey hopper, come back!
\
Hey that's my hopper.

But I saw him first!

But if you saw him first, come on!

So they jumped into a pond. The frogs were making bubbles for them to splash in. We saw a rock covering black from a giant shadow. We heard a crk, crr.

Look out its sharp tooth!

They ran into a tree cave. Sharptooth found a top way and tried to fit in. They were right in the middle of a poky vine. Sharptooths nose pushed on it and he started breathing orange air on it. Sarah wanted to go a different way, but littlefoot said "This way!"

Sarah said "mmn-mmmm"

He said, "Come back, your going the wrong way!"

Sharptooth was ripping and tearing the vines.

The end.

Bilbo, black riders, and Smaug writes a poem

My mousy friend was driving in his big jeep with tires that were nine feet tall. And he road into the jungle. and he put lights on the front on the hood on both sides and on the back and on the top. My mousy friend was driving along in the dark and you know what was walking on the side of his car? A big bear! Stomping! They turned on all the switches and the bear was down at the bottom of a waterfall and we were up at the top. The grizzly bear tried and tried to get up the waterfall and he fell down right into a river at the bottom of the waterfall. He was in the waterfall with water pouring on him. And an alligator and a piranha ate his tail! Do you know what he said?
"Rarq!"
And he got out of the waterfall soaking wet. And before the moon rose a hunter was hunting with his dog. The dog and the hunter saw the bear. They shot the bear's back. The bear said "Rearq!" He got up and kicked the hunter right into an aligators mouth. And Bilbo came. It sounded like horses were coming. Do you know what they sounded like. (clicking sounds)
And do you know what it was?
A black rider!!!
There were ten gallons of them coming!
Bilbo hid in a nearby cave. Bilbo was pretty frightened because he heard a Rrrrroeeeer. Smaug was getting ready to blow fire and blast open his cave. And right before he could say a word. The black rider clopped on the top of Smaug's cave. Smaug got so upset! He blew fire out of his cave. Bilbo and all the other hobbits did not move. They heard a sticking sound. Do you know what it sounded like?
Tttt. Ttt. Ttt. And do you know what the creature was saying? Gollum. Gollum. It was Gollum!!! The black rider and Gollum heard him straight away! They crept into a hole in the side of Smaug's cave. The black rider went in the cave. He saw the hobbits crawling across a hole. All of the black riders tried to fit all of their heads in the hole. Their heads got stuck! They pulled and pulled and pulled! Then their heads came off of their necks. They tried to fit all their legs and their legs came off of their torso. The hobbits found a treasure chest. They opened the treasure chest and found jewels and special crystal rocks. Smaug heard about this. And he wrote down a poem. Do you know what it said?
If anybody comes in my cave.
They will be tossed into prison!
And whoever takes my jewels
Will get their head sliced off!
And whoever tries to shoot a bow and arrow at me,
They will be thrown into the crocodile swamp.
Whoever tries to get into my treasure part of his cave.
They will get fed to the birds.

The end

Popping through space

We were checking out this triangle pyrimid. We all touched the side of the pyramid. We popped into outter space. And on the planet there was a little creature, and it was a chipmunk. He was pointing with his finger out long and jumping up and down. And then there was a beautiful city on a planet and snowy trees. But one tree was just starting to tumble down. And it was a beaver. The beaver said, "What are you guys doing on this little planet?" We said, "We are just exploring it out." And right when we touched the side of their beautiful castle, we popped into something else! We popped into the jungle. But we needed to look out for black bears and Sheer-Khan. And then we heard a little singing. And did you know how it went?

"You need the Bear necessities, mother natures recipes...do uyou know the bears recipies of life!"

We were listening to Baloo. And then we saw a black panther named Bagheera. And we saw the wolves. And then we touched a palm tree, we went back home!

The End.

Byeeee!

The Dwarves vs. Smaug

Once upon a time the dwarves were digging and one time at 8'oclock they found something. And the dwarf who was digging the big hole he jumped into the deep hole and it kept on going on until he caught a branch. And then he swung across the trees into a cave. And it was Smaug's cave. He was worried that Smaug might see him. So he ran as fast as he could past Smaug's part of the cave. And Smaug heard his running. And then he woke up. The dwarve was still running and then he jumped into a little hole.  And Smaug tried to get in the little hole but his head got stuck in the hole! And He tried to get his head out. And the dwarves were still digging, until they bumped into something. They got caught in it. And Smaug was still stuck in the hole. And they were caught in a t-rex skeleton. All the bones were already put together. Smaug was so scared he pulled his head out of the opening. And it broke his two long horns off! And he went a different way and the dwarves went in another hole and Smaug's back got stuck in that hole too! And they were stuck in a triceratops skeleton. And then Smaug, he was so scared, he pulled his back out and it broke his pokies on his back! And then they jumped into another hole until they got caught in a long-neck skeleton. And Smaug's tail got stuck in it. It broke his arrow at the back of his tail!
And then they jumped into another hole. Smaug was drinking some water. And then he saw them in the opening. He tried and tried and tried to blow fire but he couldn't! And then the dwarves got dressed up in ghost costumes and Smaug was so scared he ran out of his cave!
And the dwarves kept on going on until they found Smaug fast asleep. And they found his treasure part of his cave. And they all got buckets and teapots and Indian drums! And old teepee's. And they put all the gold in them. And then they gave all the treasure back to the people. But Smaug was so mad he blew fire on all the peoples houses.
The end.

This is the story about the wild dog.

One day we were looking at Christmas lights. We came around the corner onto our street and we saw a dog sitting by a house. We walked along our street until we got to the spot where the dog was. The dog just came across the street growling and barking and running. And then I ran into the house and I ran behind mommy's bed and stayed there with the door closed.
The end.

The Big Fire

A short story by Nathan:

One time we drove in our car. We were driving to Grammy's house. We went inside. Then we played outside. And then we saw a little orange pushing out of the bushes. And then it was going higher and higher. It was a big fire! And the fire burned up the bushes. They tumbled down onto the fire. The fire caught the wood on fire. Now the wood was the biggest fire in the wood. And we ran home as fast as we could.
The end.

Bilbo, spiders, and Smaug's cave of traps!

One time, Bilbo and Gandalf were going through Smaug's cave. And then there's a little opening with little fire coming out. And it was Smaug's part of the cave. And then they went in. It was hot! The gold was hot. They didn't even have shoes on. And then Smaug woke up and saw Bilbo! Bilbo looked back and then he saw Smaug. Smaug kicked gold at him.

Caleb: If he kicked gold at him, then he almost caught it.

And then he blew fire on the gold on the left side of him. And then they ran out of the opening. And then they kept on going on. On the way they saw two little trees that were fallen together and then they saw sparkling webs. Then they tiptoed towards the sparkling webs. Then they saw two gleaming eyes in each web. And then they tiptoed up a tree into the biggest web and then the eyes crawled forward and Bilbo was scared. And then he saw little tiptoeing spider legs. Anmd then he scfreamed: "It's a spider. The biggest spider in the world!!"
He ran and jumped down from the web. And in a flash there was a lightning flash of Gandalfs staff! All the spiders got scared away! And then hundreds of dwarves got rid of some. And then they still wandered through the cave. The cave was humungous. They thought the cave would go on forever. And then they saw a little light coming out of two little holes. And then Bilbo climbed through the left one. It was much too dark. Then he tried the other one. It was too light. And then there was a hole and he climbed through it. It was just right. So, Bilbo climbed deeper and deeper down under the ground then he fell right into two little holes and he landed into the right one. Then he held onto a branch and then he got his shovel and he dug. He dug and dug until he banged into something. Then he dug up. And then he pushed himself up and saw himself in a trap. It was Smaugs only way to keep people in the cave. Bilbo got his sword and cut a hole in it. And then he walked out of the Bilbo-sized hole.

Then, he went to the other siede of the cage, then he kept on going. he was tired until he saw little stairs that went up and up and up. And up and up and up and up and up and up! And then he reached the top of the cave. Then he saw a stair that went down down down down down down down down. Bilbo was so tired. He went the other way. And then he bumped into somethinhg. It was a little door. Then he opened the door. Then he heard somethings singing. The song went like this.
Hi ho hio hi ho hi ho hi ho and off to work we go.

And he went in.

He saw people digging for treasure. He thought he would want to dig for treasure. And then he dug and dug and dug and dug and dug. Until he found something. He brought it up. it was a t-rex bone. Then he got stuck in it. And then he ran. And the mouth was chomping and the tail was wagging. And the chompers were still chomping. And it scared all the dwarves away. And there all scattering all over there place and all over the cave. And they stopped. The dwarves absolutely stopped. At a little opening. And the opening was just a little door. They went through it. They were wondering what went into. one thought "did it go into a cave?" And another one thought to himself, "Did it lead to a trap?" Then another one thought, "Did it go to the end of the cave?"
They did not know. So they went.
Then it went underwater. And then they heard something singing. The song sounded like a mermaid. And then they went and kept on going until they found a little tunnel that led somewhere.  And it led to the end of the cave. Bilbo went all the way back through the cave. and then, there were traps everywhere. There was a big trap blocking the opening of the cave. And then he saw an open window at the top of the stairs. He climbed through it. He looked down the other side and then he jumped down and went home and told his mom about the big adventure he was in.  The mom was so scared. She ran all over the house.
The end.
