The Cat Ran Away by, "Sunny Browser"

It was a normal day as usual. Then my dad came home. There was a particular cat that I never saw before. I knew that I was going to like it really fast. And I did. The same day I got that cat, we were playing with the cat, we put him in some tubes. We left him there. He escaped in the night. We never saw him again. We started looking for him. We looked until the afternoon when we knew he was gone.

The Brownie Story by"Emily"

One Saturday my aunt came over and before she came over the other night my dad and I baked brownies. So when she came over I asked her if she wanted one and she said yes. So I went and got her one. When I came back I gave it to her and it fell on her shirt. I laughed. So when it fell on Missy's shirt my baby sister Ingrid picked it up and ate it. We all thought it was pretty funny. The end.

Have you ever touched the branches of a really high tree without using a ladder? I have. I've used my trampoline to do it every time. It is fifteen feet wide and it has a net around it!

Bep! I have to jump off the block! I have to swim my best when I swim freestyle because everyone is really good, but they can't beat me. Some people even give up because I'm so fast. Then I win!

I'm on the swim team. It's a little hard, but it gets easier once you know what to do. You get to swim in meets and stuff. Most of the time it's ribbons they give out. Every meet I've been in I've gotten at least one first place ribbon. I usually do two events. I might even go out of Utah some time.

I Cut my Chin Open by "Nichole"

One day I was jumping on my mom and dad's bed. I wanted to touch the fan.

When I stand on the bed now, I can touch it, but when I was 5, I couldn't.

I got too close to the edge. Then I slipped and split my chin open.

My mom took me to the doctor's office. I got stitches. My mom almost fainted.
