The Mystery of the Tossed Newspaper

The Mystery of the Tossed Newspaper
by Karli

     That afternoon while Teegan was doing her homework she heard a crash.  She hurried outside and saw Ms. Cupseye cleaning up some of her tea cup that spilled.  

"Good afternoon, Ms. Cupseye, what's the problem?  It happened again?  You spilled your cup?"

"Yes, but this time I didn't spill it and my newspaper's gone."

"Didn't you see it?"

"No, because I went inside."

"Oh. Ummmm.... why don't you make a new one?"

"I can't drink because I need my newspaper."

"Why can't you drink without it?"  Teegan asked.

"Because I need to see the news, so I can see if anybody put poison in my cup."

"Well...where did you put your cup when you went inside?"

She replied, " On the edge."

"Hey, did you let your cat out?"

"Yes."

"Where is his favorite spot to lay?"

"By the bushes."

She looks by the bushes and looks on the cat's tail.  Ahhhhhhh, that weded.

"Your cat knocked the cup over" Teegan said.

"How?" she said.

"You put your cup on the edge.  You went inside and your cat came out and knocked over the cup that made the newspaper fall."

Teegan handed Ms. Cupseye her newspaper and walked away with a smile.   

A Snip and a Snap

A Snip and A Snap

by Karli

That day we went to the hairshop  I didn't want to go because I had long, black hair and it was winter.  It was a chilly, cold day.  My ma took my hand and I followed along.

As we walked in a nice man took me in.  He placed me in a chair and put a towel on me.  Then he washed my hair.  Next he snipped and snapped.

After I was done, I looked in the mirror with amazement.  I loved it.

I thanked the man and I walked out the door.  I felt a chill, but it was a nice breeze.  I think I'm going to have a wonderful winter.

The Monster by Karli Platt

Once there lived a monster, very hungry and smacky.  In the forest lived a pretty little girl named Saige who had brown hair.  She lived on a tree.  When it stormed she always had a shelter.  One day when she slept the monster crept to find food.  When he heard a yawn the monster ran toward the noise.  Saige heard the paws.  She was scared.  So she went away to the city.  She never, never knew how busy it was because her parents left her in the forest.  She hurried toward a High School.  When she entered everyone stared.  She looked around the corner and saw the monster.  AHHHHHHHH..........  She ran out of the High School, but the city was filled with monsters.
She woke up.  "Where am I?  Did I get swallowed up by the monsters?  I can fight him," she thought.  "Saige, it is time for school." She heard her mom yell.  "But what about the monsters," she thought.  "It was probably just a bad dream.  She actually lived in a house.  She got dressed and went to school.  And there were no monsters.  Just Saige.
