Chocolate Sauce

Chocolate sauce looks like fudge.

Chocolate sauce will not budge.

Have you seen a pig put on a wig

And do a jig?

Have you seen him do it this way?

Well, you do today.

A Wild Mustang has a Friend

A Wild Mustang has a Friend

by

Samantha Wiley

(age 8)

Once there was a wild mustang.  His name was Judson.  He liked to buck a lot.  He bucked every cowboy off.  (They did not like the wild mustang.)  Pretty soon nobody came to see him.  

He made a friend.  It was a tiny field mouse.  The field mouse’s name was Eliot.  He liked to scurry about.  He would also scold the wild mustang. 

Judson thought it was very funny.  When he did, the field mouse would scurry into the ground.  When the field mouse did that, the horse stopped laughing.  When he stopped laughing, the field mouse came out.  Then Eliot told Judson that he wasn’t being very nice.  

Eliot said, “That makes me feel sad.”  

Then Judson said, “I am sorry.  Will you forgive me?”  

Eliot said, “Yes!”  

They discussed kindness until suppertime.  They went into the stall and ate some hay and went to sleep.  In the morning they woke up, read their Bible, and did their devotions.  

Judson said, “I will go make eggs and toast.”  Judson and Eliot ate breakfast after Judson cooked it on the wood stove.  After breakfast they would go exploring.  They found all sorts of thing: eggs, boards, and books by the dozen.  

And they lived happily ever after playing with each other.

The Striped Spider

The Striped Spider

by 

Samantha Wiley

(age 8)

Once there was a striped spider.  It had pink, and purple stripes.  It lived in a river that flowed fast.  The spider’s name was Sharlet.  The trip to the ocean was very long.  It made a house out of sticks that looked like the sand it was walking on so they wouldn’t see her stripes and a bird wouldn’t eat her.  She met a couple of friends along the way.  She met a bird.  His name was Jason.  Jason went on the journey to the ocean with her.  He flew above that house that the spider made to make sure it was safe and chirped loudly at whoever wanted to pick it up.  Isn’t Jason funny?  

Sharlet and Jason met another friend.  She also was a bird.  Her name was Emily.  She was a seagull.  Whenever she saw a fish, she would fly towards it and catch it.  Emily would catch food for her, Jason, and Sharlet in case they run out of food.  They walked along the river.  The end of the river wasn’t long from the ocean.  Sharlet created a web across the river and the ocean to separate them.  So, they settled down there for the night.  That night a whale got caught by the web and wriggled about, and that broke the web.  

In the morning Sharlet found the whale wriggling in the water with the web around it.  Sharlet went into the salty water and tried to get the sticky web off the whale.  Sharlet helped the whale by pulling him out of the water onto land and took the sticky, wet web off of him.  Then Sharlet, Jason, and Emily pushed the whale back into the river.  They all made friends.  The whale’s name was Trenton.  They all lived happily ever after catching fish in the webs Sharlet made and eating them at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
