               Everyone has a favorite animal.  More like a group of favorite animals.   Who doesn't like animals.  Animals are just so different.  You can defiantly relate to one.

               My first pick would be the Giant Panda.  I love Giant Pandas.  Especially the juvenile Giant Pandas.  They look exactly like a full grown Giant Panda, just smaller and cuter!!!

A mother Giant Panda, playing with her child.

                My second favorite animal is the Chinchilla.  They are just so cute and cuddly.

Two Chinchillas in glasses.

                   My third favorite animal is the panther.  They're so fierce and twilight black.  I like how they look so sneaky.

Dear Oakland County Treasurer Andy E. Meisner,

         I'm a citizen of Oakland County complaining about the lack of snow shovelers there are in my county.  Since there aren't enough snow shovelers in Oakland County when it snows (usually in the morning) some streets don't get shoveled until 8 P.M. at night.

        A few times I had to cancel lessons or be late to school because the streets aren't shoveled.  3 to 4 months ago it snowed all night till 6 in the morning.  After school I was supposed to go to my singing lessons at 7 P.M. but my singing teacher called and said her street wasn't going to be shoveled until 8 P.M.  So my mom had to cancel the singing lesson.

        I'm not the only one effected by this.  My math teacher arrived late one day.  It was about 10 minutes after class was supposed to start and my math teacher still wasn't there.  When she arrived she told us she was late because the roads in Oakland County were too snowy.

        I think Oakland County should speed up shoveling by buying more snow shovelers so streets will get shoveled faster.

        Thank you for reading this letter and I hope you take my suggestion into consideration.

Sincerely,

Vivian

One day I was walking around my neighborhood.  I was trying not to be lazy and just try to get away from playing my harpsichord all day long.   The sun shone brightly in the cerulean sky as I stroll down the street.  To spice up such a boring event, I decided to take the path through the forest.  Before I could get close to the forest, the sky looked as if there was going to turn into a nasty tempest.  Luckily I got an umbrella with me before I left home just in case I was to get caught in the storm.  The sky quickly turn twilight black, yet strangely the air remain calm and warm.  It was such a rare feeling.  At first I thought it was just the clouds blocking the sun.  After 20 minutes of walking I finally got to the forest.  The somber forest did not seem scary at first.  But all the sudden, the forest turned dark right before my eyes.  As I kept on walking aimlessly on the path before me.  Ahhhhh!  All of the sudden, I saw a white cloudy apparition wandering around the trees a football field in length ahead of me.  I got so scared that I may have wet my paints.  I quickly duck and hid behind a gigantic white pine next to me and use my hand to cover my mouth trying to not make a sound.  Right at that moment I realized I made a bad decision.  My boots crunched loudly as I step on a thick pile of leaves fallen from the pine tree.  The apparition started gliding over to the pine tree where I was hidden behind.  I panicked and took out my phone to take a picture of the ghost.  In the corner of the picture you can clearly see the apparition.

Hi, I’m Maia.  I’m one mouse out of the many mice in the forest.  One fall morning I rushed outside to find a light frost that covered the grass.  I knew I shouldn’t be outside.  My mother told me that in the winter all the mouse-bats would come hunt on little mice playing in the frost.  The frost was nice and cool on my fur.  Suddenly, I heard the cry of an angry mouse-bat.  It was like metal scraping metal.  I ran and ran and ran even when my paws hurt. Mom was right.  Mouse-bats sounded very scary.  Just as I got home I saw its right wing sweep by.  After that horrible experience I knew if I wanted to enjoy winter.  I was going to have to practice scampering 10 meters.   I practiced all day under the stars and sun.  The wind was always blowing against me as I ran the 10 meters.  My legs were on fire.  I pumped them up and down racing down the track.  After a few months when the snow started to fall, I was convinced I could do it.  One morning I ran out into the snow and saw a deer-spider.  It’s 8 legs easily scampered towards me.  I wasn’t ready for this.  I was ready for a mouse-bat.  With speed it got me in its mouth and carried me away.  I laid there in the slobbery saliva watching its antlers sway side to side. In no time I closed my eyes and fell asleep.  After what seemed like decades I found myself in a small house.

“She’s awake Marge,” said a voice.

Suddenly a squirrel scampered over to me.

“Who are you young lady,” said the squirrel handing me a berry, “I’m Marge.”

“I’m Maia,” I replied  biting into the berry, “How’d I get here?”

“Oh the spider deer hung you on that branch and while he wasn’t looking I got you into our house,” said Marge.

“I need to get home,” I said.

“Oh, the mouse holes are a dangerous journey away my dear,” she said, “Well, let’s try.  We’ll set off tomorrow.”

The next day we set off on her hawk.  We were smoothly flying until I heard a mouse-bat.  The hawk, scared of the noise, swerved down under the tree leaves until we were well hidden from the mouse-bat.  Out of the blue I saw a deer spider.  It charged toward us at full speed.  Marge’s hawk changed direction and charged full speed towards a tree.  At first I thought we were going to crash, but then I noticed that there was a door in the tree.  It opened and we soared in. Inside was a small chipmunk.

“Hello, Marge,” said the chipmunk.

“Hi Gertrude,” said Marge, “I’d like to introduce you to Maia.”

“What’s she doin’ here,” said Gertrude.

“I’m helping her get home.  One of them deer spider got her,” said Marge.

“You stayin’ here for the night?  Mouse holes is 3 miles from here,” said Gertrude, “A 1 hour dash can get you there in a snap.”

Marge looked at me.  I thought she was debating weather to go or stay the night.

“We’re going honey.  Get on the hawk and we’ll be off,” said Marge.

We hopped onto the hawk and we were off.  We flew for hours and hours until I saw home.  Once we landed I rushed to my mother, who was in tears.  I promised her I’d never go outside in the winter again.  When I turned back to say thank you to Marge she was gone.  I always remembered Marge and my mother’s words.  I always missed Marge and wanted to say thanks for saving me.

One day I saw the most horrible sight.  It was a creepy mind reader who collected space trash.  He had 3 bulging eyes, that hung in front of his face.  His mouth curved into a W shape, his tongue hung out of his mouth letting drool slide down it.  His body is to ugly to describe.  He had tentacles and wore a space garbage torso.  His arms were twitching and green.  Before I could look at him anymore I ran away and screamed.

Legend of Kodiak


Long ago there was a legend.  It was about the noble man named Kodiak.  Kodiak was walking in the woods when he saw a werewolf.  Realizing he was doomed because his wardrobe decision.  B.T.W. he was wearing a meat robe.  The werewolf charged for him and took him to werewolf head quarters.  He was interrogated by a mean werewolf named Albert and was charged with life in werewolf-landia for wearing hideous clothing. Many people think he was captured because werewolfs were evil.  He stayed there for the rest of his life.

Spring Break!!!

Dear Blog,

           Over spring break I had a stay-cation.  I was still fun.  I usually played with my neighbors Lexi, Lauren and my sister Erika.  On Tuesday I tried rideing Lauren's 3 wheeled scooter and drove it into a curb and fell over.  Lauren and Lexi taught me how to ride it and now I don't run into the curb.  We started all riding it at the same time.  When Erika was steering, she made it tilt and we all fell over.  My Spring Break was really fun even though I didn't go somewhere.

Ghost are my worst fear.  I never liked them.  They always scared me.  Gave me the creeps.  But one day I found myself signing up for a ghost hunting group.  I was so confused.  I hate ghost but here I was signing up for a ghost hunting group.  Now let's fast forward to the day or days of scare.

It was 4:00 A.M. in the morning.  My alarm was beeping like someone pressed the horn button on your car keys and it won't turn off.  I used all my strength and turned it off.  After a few minutes I was up and in the kitchen making Banana, Ginger muffins, toffee, breakfast shakes, bacon, sausages and a cheese and ground beef quiche.  Ding, dong.  Went the doorbell it was

  A long time ago there was said to be a sacred golden apple.  It was said that if you ate it you would have magical powers.  There were many greedy people who wanted the apple, but the society of fairies, witches, wizards, gnomes and so on from a magical world, fought to keep the apple hidden.  But one day someone would find it according to the prophecy.

Hi, I'm Madison.  I'm a 19 year old girl from the rural town of Salmania.   It was 7 A.M. and I was sitting at my mothers bakery.

"Honey, come help me make the marzipan animals for the pet show," my mom yelled from the kitchen.

"Sure," I said getting up and walking to the kitchen.

I found my mom in the kitchen.  I started kneading the marzipan till it was nice and soft.  I made 3 balls.  the largest was orange the middle one was pink and the smallest was white.  I use the orange to make animal bodies, the pink for the nose and collar and the white for the eyes.  Once I finished with the shaping i got some food coloring and toothpicks to make smaller details like pupils and whiskers.  At the end I made an army of marzipan animals.

"Honey, can you go sell them on Bakers St.," she asked.

"Sure," I replied.

I grabbed a rolling table and started up a tall hill to Bakers St.  I was panting once I got to the top.  I leaned onto the table and it suddenly went rolling down the hill.  As the table rolled I tumbled behind it.  I went faster and faster.  My back ached from rolling but there seemed to be something magical happening.  I felt like I was in the eye of a tornado.  A wind seemed to blow around me.  It might have just been me but I also heard a soft music and singing.  I started to get drowsier and drowsier.  BAM!  I thought I had fallen to the hard dirt ground but the ground smelled of sweet poppies.  As I opened my eyes I saw a little human so small and dainty.

"She opened her eyes," It shouted in a dainty voice.

I started to sit up when I saw a  group of people crowded around me.  Some of them were as tall as my hand, some looked like the garden gnomes in the garden and normal sized people with pointed hats and long robes.

"Aye, I knew we shan't let these un-magical folk into Gandola," muttered an old man wearing a cloak.

"Where am I,"  I asked.

"You're in Gandola honey," A woman in a pointed hat said.

"Where," I asked not under standing.

"She un-magical Serrifina.  Gandola 's where the magical beins' live.  How'd you get 'ere anyway," asked a garden gnome.

"I don't know I tumbled down a hill and then ended up here," I replied.

"Well I guess since she's here we'll greet her like guest," said a little fairy.

"Go on now show 'er, 'er room," said a cloaked man with a long white beard.

"Come this way," said the lady called Serrifina.

"Who are you," I asked.

"I'm a good witch honey.  Fairies, gnomes, dwarfs, ect. live here," Serrifina replied, "If you need anything just whistle."

I liked Serrifina from the start.  She was really nice and helping.  After my first day there I met a lot of nice people.  One night I was walking around the streets and I heard the old man from my first day talking.

"She musn't find the 'Golden Apple'," he said.

"But Coram she's destined to find it.  The prophecy states that a girl will find the apple, and besides she can't go home, because the only way out is magic," said Serrifina's voice.

"How do you know it's her," he asked.

"She might," said Serrifina.

"Well we don't know so we should keep it secret," he said.

I started running until I got to my room.  I wondered what they were talking about.  What was the golden Apple?  What prophecy?  Where?  What's so important about it?  All these questions raced through my head.  I felt determined to find out what this apple was all about.  I put on my cloak and headed to the library to find a book on the golden apple.  I spent the whole night looking through books.  I found tons of books on a golden apple.  The librarian let me check out the books and I went home.  I tucked them under a pile of robes in a dark drawer so no one would find it.  The next day I read through all of the books.  It turns out that the golden apple is magical and will make people magical if they eat it.  It also said it was hidden deep within Dwarf City.  I knew if I got the apple I would be able to go home.  The next day I packed some robes, some shoes, 2 blankets, a pillow, a magical pocket knife/saw/shovel/anything you need to cut with and set off.  The sun beat down on my head as I trudged over treacherous terrain.  I had seen nothing but cactus and tumbleweed for hours.  The sun was still high in the sky when I started to build a shelter.  I found a mound of dirt and started digging.  By the time the sun began to sink I had a nice little cave.  I hung the large blanket on the opening so nothing could get in and fell right asleep.  In the middle of the night I heard voices.

"She's gone," said a deep male voice.

"Gone to pursue her destiny," said Serrifina's voice.

"I give 'er 2 days to live, with the cold, heat, hypothermia, dehydration, creatures and 'specially Madame Irine," said d the man.

"I forgot about Irine.  She's still out there?  Irine will definatly get Madison.  Her selfishness.  She thought she was the girl in the prophecy.  She'll be angry if she isn't," said Serrifina, "Even challenged me to give one reason why she isn't."

"We must keep the Madi girl safe and get 'er to the apple.  Irine musn't fulfill the prophecy.  If Irine does no predictin' what'll happen," said the male.

I heard them walk away and I was left to think.  Who's Irine?  Why does she want the apple?  I slept knowing I had to get it before this Irine girl.  The next day I set off with the feeling that Dwarf City was near by.  Suddenly I was tumbling down, down, down into a dark hole.  Before I knew it I was lying on a stone path.  My body ached from the impact.

"Wha's she doin' 'ere," asked a voice.

I opened my eyes and found myself in a dark cave.

"I asked ye' whats ye' doin' 'ere," said a voice.

I turned my head until I saw a little man.

"I was looking for a golden apple," I replied

"Thee 'Golden Apple'," he asked.

"What," I asked not knowing the difference.

"The magical one," he said.

"Oh, yes," I replied.

"She's the kid me brother Hank was talkin' bout," he said, "Show her to the apple."

A guard walked me over to a large vault door.  It was made of solid gold and I bet you, you could put 5 elephants in there.  He put the key into the hole and the door swung right open.  Inside was really big.  But right in the center on a small pedestal was a golden apple.

"The apple is mine," said a sharp voice.

I turned around to see a woman.  Her eyes filled with greed.  She dashed to the apple and took a bite.

"Ma'me that's the poisonous decoy.  The real one's b'hind the door b'hind ye'," said the guard.

The lady's face turned an ugly shade of green and she died right there on the spot.

"Oh well.  We'll be continuing to the apple ma'am," he said.

We continued walking and walking door after door.  Finally after the zillionth door there was a golden apple.

"Here ma'am the golden apple," he said.

I took a bite out of the apple.  It was sweet as syrup, but as dry as sand in the Saharan desert.

"Tastes like sugar," I said but before finishing my sentence I was back on the top of the hill with the rolling table.

I checked my watch that read 8:35 A.M.  5 minutes after I left.  I was transported back to the same time and place.

It was the next day and I was making more marzipan animals.  But I was day dreaming so much they turned into wizards, gnomes, witches, dwarfs, fairies and Irine.

"But Coram she's destined to find it.  The prophecy states that a girl will find the apple, and besides she can't go home, because the only way out is magic," said Serrifina's voice.

"How do you know it's her," he asked.

"She might," said Serrifina.

"Well we don't know so we should keep it secret," he said.

I started running until I got to my room.  I wondered what they were talking about.  What was the golden Apple?  What prophecy?  Where?  What's so important about it?  All these questions raced through my head.  I felt determined to find out what this apple was all about.  I put on my cloak and headed to the library to find a book on the golden apple.  I spent the whole night looking through books.  I found tons of books on a golden apple.  The librarian let me check out the books and I went home.  I tucked them under a pile of robes in a dark drawer so no one would find it.  The next day I read through all of the books.  It turns out that the golden apple is magical and will make people magical if they eat it.  It also said it was hidden deep within Dwarf City.  I knew if I got the apple I would be able to go home.  The next day I packed some robes, some shoes, 2 blankets, a pillow, a magical pocket knife/saw/shovel/anything you need to cut with and set off.  The sun beat down on my head as I trudged over treacherous terrain.  I had seen nothing but cactus and tumbleweed for hours.  The sun was still high in the sky when I started to build a shelter.  I found a mound of dirt and started digging.  By the time the sun began to sink I had a nice little cave.  I hung the large blanket on the opening so nothing could get in and fell right asleep.  In the middle of the night I heard voices.

"She's gone," said a deep male voice.

"Gone to pursue her destiny," said Serrifina's voice.

"I give 'er 2 days to live, with the cold, heat, hypothermia, dehydration, creatures and 'specially Madame Irine," said d the man.

"I forgot about Irine.  She's still out there?  Irine will definatly get Madison.  Her selfishness.  She thought she was the girl in the prophecy.  She'll be angry if she isn't," said Serrifina, "Even challenged me to give one reason why she isn't."

"We must keep the Madi girl safe and get 'er to the apple.  Irine musn't fulfill the prophecy.  If Irine does no predictin' what'll happen," said the male.

I heard them walk away and I was left to think.  Who's Irine?  Why does she want the apple?  I slept knowing I had to get it before this Irine girl.  The next day I set off with the feeling that Dwarf City was near by.  Suddenly I was tumbling down, down, down into a dark hole.  Before I knew it I was lying on a stone path.  My body ached from the impact.

"Wha's she doin' 'ere," asked a voice.

I opened my eyes and found myself in a dark cave.

"I asked ye' whats ye' doin' 'ere," said a voice.

I turned my head until I saw a little man.

"I was looking for a golden apple," I replied

"Thee 'Golden Apple'," he asked.

"What," I asked not knowing the difference.

"The magical one," he said.

"Oh, yes," I replied.

"She's the kid me brother Hank was talkin' bout," he said, "Show her to the apple."

A guard walked me over to a large vault door.  It was made of solid gold and I bet you, you could put 5 elephants in there.  He put the key into the hole and the door swung right open.  Inside was really big.  But right in the center on a small pedestal was a golden apple.

"The apple is mine," said a sharp voice.

I turned around to see a woman.  Her eyes filled with greed.  She dashed to the apple and took a bite.

"Ma'me that's the poisonous decoy.  The real one's in the door b'hind ye'," said the guard.

The lady's face turned an ugly shade of green and she died right there on the spot.
