It was already getting charcoal and dull when the three of us ran down the hill to get more candies. As we were running down the hill, we couldn’t believe our eyes. A three-story Amityville haunted house with only one room with the lights on. A stationary person stood in the middle of the window in the room on the left side of the third floor.

A huge gigantic old and rusty outdoor concrete staircase connected to the front porch of the haunted house. Bushes concealed the sides and left a little space that we had to wedge through.

Edward, Viola and I wedged through to get to the entrance door which was all the way at the top. We were all frightened but we were doing it for the candy.

As we got to the entrance door, there appeared a piece of wood attached with nails on the door. It read, “DO NOT ENTER!” It was a wooden aged door with a golden rusty padlock. “Trick or Treat! Be quiet!” Viola was a trick or treater freak.

“There’s a doorbell, press it, Jessy”. I laid a weight on my finger and pressed the doorbell. I gazed up to the room where the person stood and couldn’t believe what I saw. The person was gone, and suddenly we heard footsteps and scratches but then it went silent.

We waited for about ten to fifteen minutes but nothing happened. It seemed like the person had just disappeared or something.

Comment If you want us to open the door or run away so the story can continue…

Latai, Ayas, Bresais, Nane and Sarina: Everyone else get out of here.

Everyone else was leaving the for the Jump Day programme but five of us had to stay back and clean the whole class.

I had a euphoria smile in my brain but not that was not because of how I did not know how to skip or like to skip but because I was not in the mood.

But anyways, we started cleaning. The other four were hard out cleaning but I was just chilling. “OOPPSS! Whaea Maxine is here!” 

When she walked in class, I quickly began to act like I was hard out tired of cleaning even though I did nothing for the whole time.

I started wiping down the tables with the wipes and I also started to collect all the art works that were on the table and put them on a pile.

After cleaning for a while we had to go to the skipping programme. I did not want to but I still went. To be honest I did not enjoy skipping but I only enjoyed eating the jelly beans.

On the 4th of June 1982, a huge gigantic storm hit in San Jose in the United States.

Two travellers from the west of the River Sidon were sadly suffering in the Situation.

“Jershon, Do you think we could survive?

My legs are now so weak and I can’t do this no more but I believe we can survive!” Ammon shouted to his companion Jershon.

The two travellers were sailing in the sea but their boat was slowly getting wrecked by the heavy winds, rough waves and the rain. Their arms, legs, backs and eyes were starting to become so weak. Their bodies were freezing cold as the hard heavy winds laid upon them. Their faces and their arms were in pain because of the hard hailing rain.

Their ears were screaming to death when the thunders started to play their drums. It was a difficult situation which their suffered.

Suddenly, a pillar of light appeared before their eyes.

A man marching towards them. He was walking along the waters of the blue sea, dressed in fine costly white robe. The robe wasn’t as white as any other white. The apperall was an abnormal type.

The two travellers were afraid that it could be an extraterrestrial body but that wasn’t their only fear. They were also afraid because, who on Earth can walk upon water that caused the rough waves calm and the hailing rain and thundering stop.

“I command you, that ye shall not be afraid. But ye shall be in an everlasting euphoria from now on!”

Right after he said this, in a blink of an eye he was gone. He disappeared.

The two travellers were shocked. In their hearts there dwelled a fantastical feeling fabricated by the words which were spoken by the man with the bright white robe.

They were so grateful for what the man had done to them and so they did not waste their time so they started to paddle their boat to the sand side before their boat sinks into the sea.

Hi there! My name is Siri. I am scared of a lot of things such as darkness, big insects, small moving insects, thunder, and even if my parents will suddenly die and I will be left alone.

I am a little clumsy but my mother says it will pass. It was summer and my parents had sent me to summer camp like always. They say city kids should go on summer camps to get some fresh air, new friends and also to get healthier.

I live in the middle of the city and all the camps I have been to was way too far from where I lived. But this time, I went to a camp just outside the city.

The camp was kind of small but it was also so quiet. I wasn’t excited or anything but I had a weird feeling dwelling in me.

As the night came it was time to walk and explore the woods at night with the camp counselors.

It was dark and the only lights we had were our lamps. We were in groups and my group had noone that was the same age as me and there was also no one that I knew.

There were bird noises and leaves crunching but that wasn’t scary though. One of the counselors commanded us to pick some wild berries by ourselves and I thought, That is a little unusual, picking wild berries at night at a summer camp!  Since I did not know anyone, I decided to pick the wild berries by myself.

I started picking a few berries and I immediately enjoyed it. I continued picking more and started to walk farther. But I noticed something, I noticed that everyone was gone and the noises were gone.

At this moment all I could think of was monsters devouring me.

The night passed and I still struggled to get out of the woods. Noone has ever came back to find me. I suffered hunger and thirst but lucky the berries were there.

Once there was a house in a faraway village, where a husband and a wife lived. Both of them had a daughter from their previous marriage. The wife loved her daughter a lot that she bought new clothes for her everyday and she never asked her to do any work in the house.

Her daughter thus became very very lazy. She would spend her time doing nothing but admiring herself.

The wife treated her step-daughter very poorly that she asked her to do everything in the house and outside the house. “What are you doing here? Get up and clean the house! But I just cleaned the house this morning” Her step-daughter replied.“Just do as I say!!!” she shouted as loud as she could.

The step-daughter didn’t complain to whatever she was told. Her father watched her clean and clean and it made his heart ached.

One day she noticed that her father was beginning to wax old. “My beautiful daughter, I am so so sorry that I have nothing to give.” Her father told her. “Father do not be sorry, you have cared for me for so many years and now it is my turn to take care of you.” She replied to her father.

As they were talking, the step-mother was standing outside the room and listening to everything they had talked about.

“Father, I will go to the town and look for a good job to earn money.” The daughter declared. “Hahahaha, whatever she gets will be mine forever and she and her father will get nothing.” The step-mom quietly whispered to herself outside the room.

In the next day her father sent her off with hugs and he also said to his daughter. “My beautiful daughter, you promise me that you do everything with love and with your heart and never ever declined those who are in need,” The daughter replied with yes and off she went.

She journeyed for a few days in town looking for jobs but no one was around.

One day, she came across a dying Pear tree. “Hello, there girl. The pear tree greeted. Could you please help break down the dead branches of mine? The tree kindly asked for help.

The daughter carefully broke down the dried dying branches. As she was done she began journeying through the wilderness of the town.

“Hello there, can you please help me clean my oven?” An oven asked for help. The girl kindly started to clean the oven. “I am so so sorry that your dress has been dirtied by my dirtiness. That’s okay because it’s proving you that I am working hard.”

As she finished cleaning the oven thanked her with all her heart. She began to start looking for another job.

She was walking and walking and finally, she came by a HUGE GIGANTIC castle. she entered the castle and there it was nine tiny fairies. “Hello fairies, I have been searching for a job, and it’s now a week and I still have nothing to do to earn money. Could you please offer me a job so I can earn money to take care of my sick father?”

The fairies kindly offered her with a job but they told her to promise them that she would only clean nine rooms and never enter the tenth room.

The girl gratefully showed gratitude by a euphoria smile and a thankful thank you. As they offered her the job she immediately started cleaning all the nine rooms starting from the first room and when she had finished she walked along the hallway and passing the nine rooms.

when she walks pass the tenth room, she never looked or curious about it, because she remembered what her father had told her.

After seven days and seven nights cleaning all nine rooms and never ever making a glance at the tenth room. The fairies thanked her with all their hearts.

They said, “Our dear young sister, we thank you so so so much for your kindness and truthfulness and obedience for following everything and whatever we had asked and instructed you. Now we wish you all the best that you may return back to your father with honour and that you may also have everlasting happiness.

As the girl was journeying through the wilderness in the town she came and met the oven she had cleaned. The oven had baked a lot of food. It had baked loaves of bread, cinnamon rolls and al manner of flour made meals.

The oven offered her to stay and eat as many as she wants. The girl did as the oven said and has she had finished eating she had taken a few pieces of cinnamon rolls and some other types of pieces of bread.

Once she had done that, he journeyed along and there she met the dying pear tree that she had helped.

The tree asked her to come and eat as many pears as she wants and the girl did what the pear had wanted her to.

The girl enjoyed eating her sweet pears and when she was full, she plucked a few pears for her father. She walked back home and found that her father healthily walking outside.

Now her father had waxed strong but the step-mother had waxed old.

The girl’s step-sister (the lazy sister) had promised her mother that she would journey through the wilderness and find a job to earn money.

But as the step-sister and step-mother were having their little sad conversation, the girl and her father were enjoying their meal.

To Be Continued…………..

1. The first thing I like to do is RELAX because it’s just so cool.
2. The second thing I like to do is to talk about education or important stuff.
3. The third thing I like to do is to watching or listen to Billie Eilish.
4. The fourth thing I like to do is to play/talk with my brothers or family.
5. Finally the fifth thing I like doing, I like to cook on my own and also with my mom/dad.

Hey! My name is Riley and I am 12 yrs old. I have 3 brothers that are older than me and I also have a Kind, loving, hard working and caring parents. I grew up with my family in a little island called, Tonga. When I grew up I didn’t have a taste of wearing dresses, high heels and all girl stuff.

My family were not rich but we had things that we wanted. I grew up with my brothers and my best friends, they weren’t girls but they were boys but some acted like girls. When we have time to hangout we would always play marbles, hide and seek, race, fight, climb trees, and ride bikes. We would also go to the shops and buy lollies but like I said, we weren’t rich.

But one day at school, something made me change. I went from wearing boy clothes to were girls clothes but that was only sometimes, like going to church and stuff, I still wore boy clothes most of the time though. I started hanging out with girls and I also started wearing high heels. But that wasn’t all, I also started calling myself a normal girl because I didn’t like it when people said, “You look like a boy, You are a girl now!”

Ten things I can’t live without:

• Oxygen: I can’t live without oxygen because, in order for us human beings to breathe, we all need oxygen.

• Food: I obviously can’t live without food not because it’s delicious and I love food but because I will not survive if I don’t eat and plus my body needs food.

• Water: For me, water is one of the most important things in life because you need to be hydrated all the time.

• Electricity: I need electricity because, when it’s dark we need light and we also need electricity to charge our devices, cars and stuff that may need electricity.

• Education: I can’t live without being educated because when we grow up we might need to get a good job with a high rate and we can get a good job with a good qualification.

• Cell phone: I can’t live without a cell phone because, I will need to call my parents, emergency numbers, family members and friends.

• Home: Ofc, I will need a home because I will need to stay warm,safe, and all of that.

• Family: I won’t be able to live without a family because I love my family and they are everything to me.
• Clothes: I can’t live without clothes because it’s not good to live without clothes.
•  Friends: Ofc, I can’t live without friends because I need to hangout, play with them.

A good friend

What is a good friend?

Well,  most people use the word good as close but the actual definition of “ good friend” is a person that is more likely as a best friend, but it is also a person that is always there to help you, hangout with you, someone that ain’t judgmental, have the same interest as you, trust-worthy and that tells the truth.

Why do we need a good friend for?

For me I need a good friend to make me feel welcome and to share appropriate feelings and thoughts but also to hangout with but don’t forget that he or she will always be there when I need help and tell you the truth. But most people want a good friend to hangout with, and to share thoughts and things, to be their lunch box, and to make them feel welcome.

Is my good friend really a good friend?

Ummm, if you are wondering “Is my good friend really a good friend?”  Let me tell you something, you could only find out if that person or that person is your good friend if they are always there when you need help, when you feel lonely, stand up with you no matter what, or someone that keeps your deepest secret, I mean it is not a secret anymore if you tell them but let’s just say that it is a secret, someone that never argue with you or mock you, but also someone who tells the truth, for an example: When you have a big booger sticking out from your nose and you ask them saying “ Do I look pretty/handsome?”  Then they reply saying OMG! You look so umm, you have a big booger on your nose.” I mean that may make you feel bad but that’s actually what a good friend does and that is better than walking around with the booger sticking out and everyone be like “Hahaha look at her nose” One person knowing is better than everyone knowing.

Ask yourself is my good friend really a good friend?
