Untitled (Man Fairy)

By Olumide A., 3rd Grade, Loyola Park After School Program

One day a flying man fairy flew in the window of Steve’s house and took all of his books.  Steve’s tooth came out.  The fairy took all the books to the library and got a fairytale book.  The fairy’s bag of tooths were very heavy-he was flying with a broom.  Some witches needed someone to help them.  “Abracadabra!” said the witches, and the fairy said, “Me?”
Man Fairy said, “You don’t look like a fairy!”  And they went to someone’s house and the little girl said, “Don’t you give the children anything?”  And the Man Fairy went to the moon and his broom broke-cause the bag was really heavy.  The girl taped the broom and sang, “La la la la la la-la la la la la la-the end!”

Gone Down the Drain

By Liam R., 3rd Grade, Loyola Park After School Program

The cubs were 4 and 0 in the playoffs.  The worst part was because it was against the Diamondbacks.  And now we take you to Derek Lee.  How do you feel about the loss?  “I think we just didn’t put our heart in it.”  So that’s that.  You heard it there.  It is a heart breaking story for Cubs fans.  There’s always next year.  We are back with Ted Lily.  Why did you give up all those runs in the second inning?  I don’t know, I just didn’t want to pitch.”  Now we will take it over to Lou.  How did you take the loss?  “They just didn’t play well!”  So that’s that.

The Evil Kangaroo

By Emilio G., 5th Grade, Loyola Park After School Program
Songs

Once upon a time in 1212 BC and now in the middle of the ocean there was a city named Freeopolis that no one knew about.  Everyone was happy until Professor Wiggems built an experiment on kangaroos.  It went completely wrong.  The kangaroo escaped and destroyed the city, then when there’s no hope left it’s to be continued…
The island sinks and the kangaroo finds a boat.  He travels to Africa and sees a butterfly.  He first feels warm inside, then munch-crunch yum!  He struggles for food.  Then he discovers there are power cards that make him stronger.  He found out there was six.  He already got the first one of evilibility.  He travels two million miles looking for the card.  He finds the card in a close 100 miles.  He’s only five hundred yards away but the rest of the way is on water.  He swims half way.  He grabs the card and he he he…
Got extreme mind control.  He grew five feet long.  He practiced his power.  He picked up a tree and threw it to the ocean.  He was ready.  He floated toward the ocean.  He traveled half way and forgot he can float over the water.  So he traveled halfway to Brenenopolis and he forgot it sank to the middle of the ocean.  So he found a place with weird reptile things.  He senses his third power card about five hundred miles, 2,222 yards up the sky and it is just a matter of time til til til ahhhhhh….
He gets fangs.  And not just big fangs, BIG size, like the size of Professor Wiggem’s wife’s toenails.  And they were poisonous like Professor Wiggem’s wife’s cooking and as sharp as Professor Wiggem’s wife’s ears.  Okay, you might not want to listen to Professor Wiggem’s wife all day.  So he can’t fly to over twenty feet over the ground so he falls down.  When he landed he looked at his tail and one of the five lines disappeared.  Those were his lives.  Then he found a T-Rex biting his toenail.  So he took his fangs and bit through the T-Rex’s heart and crunch crunch crunch.  Some say dinosaurs got killed from asteroid, others ice age.  But instead evil kangaroo ate them all except for three dinosaurs and one egg.  To be continued.
He killed the third one and he found his fifth power card and he got the power to space.  He tried it out but he banged his head on Jupiter and fell back down and he was nauseas for weeks, Professor Wiggem’s wife.  When she eats grass or when she wakes up head first in the toilet…Oh that’s enough about Professor Wiggem’s wife for now, so Kangzilla still lies there crazy from the bump Ahhhh!

The Missing Dog

By Courtney , 5th Grade, Loyola Park After School Program
True Stories

I was putting away groceries with my mom. And my dog was outside in the backyard.  Two seconds later I cam outside and my dog was gone.  The witness was the garbage because it was the only thing there.  Sounds kind of weird doesn’t it?  Am I right or left?  So back to the story.  I don’t know who stole my dog but I have a feeling it was uhmm, ahh, well okay I don’t really have any idea but it was stolen and I know it but what I don’t know is who would have the nerve.  Maybe a whale.  Yep, it was a whale.  The same one whale that who stole my underwear yesterday.  Okay, enough with the horrible jokes.  You can laugh.  Some things like that don’t faze me.  Now really I do not know who stole my dog.  So (I’m) looking (at a) guy by my house.  He admitted it and he said he sold it.  But I’m kind of scared of him, so I don’t say anything.  That’s the story of my missing dog.

Trees can talk,
They can also walk.

They can sing,
But, they have no bling.

Trees like to dance,
But the don’t know they have no chance.
