Me and Sadie, a poem

Me and Sadie went to the park
Me and Sadie played on the swings

Me and Sadie went to the zoo
Me and Sadie saw cockroach shoes

Me and Sadie went the the beach
Me and Sadie played in the sea

Me and Sadie played in the lake

Me and Sadie went to bed
Med and sadie went to sleep

COMMENT: I don't do rhyming poems. I only do just little things that aren't real things but they sound more like a poem then real things.

Narration: The wings of a butterfly

AUTHOR: A traditional South American fable

STORY: Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Chimiduye and she lived in a small house in the rain forest with her relatives and mother and father. Boys and men hunted and girls and the women cooked and worked in a farm nearby.

The other girls and she never dared to step too far into the forest because they knew quite well it was very easy to get eaten by a wild beast or a spirit. And one day, when she was making a little basket she looked up and saw a huge butterfly in front of her and she followed in deep deep into the woods. And soon it disappeared into the vines and she realized that she had gone too far into the forest. And she wandered aimlessly through the trees only getting deeper into the forest then before.

And then she heard a little tap-tap-tap in the woods. And she thought hopefully, somebody's working in the woods and they can bring me home. And she followed the tapping sound, but to her surprise it was only a woopecker. She said to herself, if only you were human you could lead me home. The woodpecker said, "Why do I need to be human to lead you home? I could lead you home the way I am!"

She said, "Really?" And then the woodpecker said, "Why not." and flew away.

And then she wandered into the woods a little bit more and saw a big hut. And there was a lady inside it making a hammock. The lady said, "Don't ask me for help! You eat so many of us and boil so many of us, so don't ask me for help!" and old lady went away. The old lady was actually really just a bird transformed and fluttered into a tree.

And then a fruit fell from a tree and she picked it up and ate it. And then another one fell from the tree. She looked up and it was a group of monkeys. Her fear soon grew when daylight spread to darkness. The monkeys came down from the tree and she hid to watch them. And then to her surprise, the monkeys turned into humans. And one of the boy monkeys said,"What are you doing here, Chimuye?" And she said,. "I got lost." Then a woman monkey said, "Poor thing, you can come with us to the festival of monkeys. The Lord Monkey invited us."

And then they went to a big hut with a bunch of other monkeys wearing masks and costumes and drinking beer. And the Lord Monkey said, "Why are you here uninvited?" And the man monkey said, "We found her and brought her with us."

And that nights, she couldn't sleep from the King Monkey snoring. It sounded like somebody talking, and she listed to the king monkey and he said, "I'm going to devour her, I'm going to devour her." And she said, "Grandfather!" and he woke up and she said "you said you were going to devour me." And he said don't be silly, monkeys don't devour people. And went back to sleep.

She saw the Lord Monkey, and he wasn't really a monkey at all. He was a big beast with black spots. He was a jaguar! She got out of bed and got a torch and ran right out to the big hut.

Daylight soon came and she started to cry. She heard a fluttering and she looked up and saw a butterfly, and the butterfly said, "Follow me. I will show you the way home." "Really?" And the butterfly said, "Sure, follow me."

And soon they were at the river and on the other side was her family and friends. And she said,"I crossed the river without even knowing it! But how can I get back?" And the butterfly said, "I'll turn you into a butterfly." And she hummed "Who do drinks dew, who do drinks dew, who do drinks dew." And soon she was fluttering across the river.

The moment she touched ground she turned into a human and she went home. The end.

REVIEW: This story is from South America. My review is Ii do not get it at all. When I think of it, i think it's a little too changey. A little confusing. That is my review. I would like to change into a butterfly so I could flutter around. I'd sleep without a blanket. I'd sleep on a wall, and the most funnest of all would be to walk on the ceiling. But now I'm not a butterfly so I can't walk on the wall at all.

Poem: Our New Dog

Our new dog is a lab.
Who is it?
It's a Lab-lab.
Who is it again?
A Lab-Lab-Lab-lab.
Oh! It's a Lab!
It's a Lab-Lab-Lab-lab, I heard.
And it's a Lab-Lab-Lab-lab.

We have a lab.
A lab we have.
We have a lab.
A Lab-lab-have.
A Lab we have.

But I do not know
if it's a lab or a bag
so what should we throw?

We have a lab mix
a max and mix.
We have a lab mix,
who's half max and half lab.

Our new dog Sadie

Our new dog's name is Sadie. Sadie is a fun-loving, very cute little doggy. She's a black lab, we got her at a place called Bide-a-wee. Bide-a-wee is a shelter, they save little dogs. Sadie is from Tennessee. We adopted her two days ago and this is my third day with her.

Last night she pooped in my room, but I didn't mind. Dogs poop and she's just a puppy and she's not even toilet trained. Sadie is four months old. Today she had a real adventure that scared us a bit, but it was okay, she came back all by herself. We think she went by the stream, that's what my mommy thinks. My mommy was so sad that she cried. She cried most of the time, half the time. Me and my daddy put posters all over town until the road back to New York. And then we drove right back and we missed a few mailboxes, so we filled those later. We put posters in mailboxes, daddy did it in a bar, daddy did it everywhere. After that we went home.

And then we waited a long time without any dinner, and then finally JY said, who's my little brother, I may have mentioned him before, JY said, "There's puppy! Puppy came back!" And there Sadie was, standing near the pond in front of the fence. We went rushing down to her and mommy lifted the fence and she came jumping up on us and was so excited to be home. And now I'm sitting here writing in my blog with Sadie sitting next to the stairs to the deck and we keep telling her: No More Adventures! Because she had plenty of adventures all day that we know nothing about. And I hope that soon I will find out what adventures did she have and what did she do.

The solar system

Millions and millions and millions of years ago the Earth formed. The yolk of the Earth is melted metal. I mean, iron. And the part closing around the yolk is hard rock, and above that is some more rock and above that was rock. And it was all volcanoes and meteors. This is when the Earth was formed. The volcanoes turned into water and it rained and rained for years, forming the seas. and that's how our planet was formed.

Our solar system is the Milky Way, because it looks so milky. The Milky Way is a bunch of stars. There was an explosion that formed the Earth like I just talked about. It was the Big Bang. And Sol is, well I believe that Sol is the god of all the planets. And just to let you know Sol is the name of the sun.

And that's all I say about for now. From me.

My teachers

I have been having a good time at school with Mommy. Mommy is my new teacher and Daddy is my science teacher. Mommy has been a very good teacher but Daddy has been teaching me barely any science. So mommy has been becoming my science and regular teacher. That's mostly what's been going on the past few days. That's all I'm going to write about in my blog today. Maybe I'll write some more later today, or some other time. Bye, from me and the blog.

Narration: Belling the cat

AUTHOR: Aesop

One day, there was a family of mice. And they had a meeting. How would they get away from their enemy the cat? One young mouse said, "I have a good idea. It's simple and I know it will be a very good one. All we have to do is tie a bell around the cat and then the bell will ring whenever the cat is coming." But then one old mouse said, "That's a very good idea, but who will bell the cat?"

REVIEW: This is my opinion, that it's easy to say "I'm going to do it", but it might be harder to do it.
