Bailey and Peaches

Bailey was a big and very fat black bear. One day he was walking threw the woods.

When he met a chipmunk named Peaches. Peaches, saw how slow Bailey was walking. And then he said! Hi what’s your name? Bailey being so tired as he was. Said Hi my name is Bailey.

Quickly Peaches ran up to his new friend. Than said meet Peaches at your service. Bailey who was still to tired just sat himself under a tree. Peaches told Bailey what you need is to move around a lot more. Bailey answered I know, but I don’t know how. Peaches said to Bailey,

Right now you need to sleep, but tomorrow morning we are going to move around. The next

Day Bailey woke up, he was very hungry and wanted, a very huge and sweet breakfast. Peaches who was right beside him, said Don’t even think about all those blackberries. Instead we are going fishing. Bailey said Fishing? Peaches said Yes! And I know where we could get some small nice whiteys to eat. Now Bailey was use to a big breakfast but Peaches was not about to let him have it. After they both had caught two whiteys, they both ate them. Bailey said in a sad voice, but I am still hungry. Peaches told bailey now was a good time for us to take a long walk. Bailey who never took long walks without stopping every minute to lay down to sleep did not like that idea. Peaches who loves walking said, sure after eating it is very good to do some walking, also it is the best exercise, all of the doctors say It’s the key to keeping your body healthy. So Bailey agreed and they walked, only ten minutes. Then Bailey said I can not go on any further. Peaches looked at his new friend and asked, Why not? Bailey in now a crying voice said because I am to fat so I will always walk to slow. Peaches who was a friend that would never let another friend down, turned to Bailey and said Yes you can and yes you will ! Bailey looked at Peaches saying, Do you really think I could do this? Peaches looked straight into Baileys eyes. Then said again Yes you will! Now Bailey tonight we will rest but tomorrow we will be doing a lot more walking.

The next day the sun was bright and shining. When Bailey woke up Peaches had already prepared Baileys fish breakfast. When Bailey was done eating Peaches said, Oh right now Mr. Bailey let us start our walking! So Bailey and Peaches continued doing this every single day for one whole month. Bailey could not believe that he was walking for miles. As Bailey walked he would do a lot of sweating. One day Peaches took bailey to go swimming with him at a big clear lake. When Bailey got there he went right near that clear water. When he saw his reflection in the water looking back at him it was a tall slim bear with a great big smile on his face. Bailey as happy as he was began yelling, Peaches look, look at me now! Bailey said to Peaches "I always wanted to loose this big fat weight of mine but I never knew how, but meeting you made it all possible. Bailey and Peaches became very good friends, together they would continue to eat their fresh whitey fish. They also took there long walks. Now Bailey was the most grateful friend to Peaches because of his new friend Bailey got his good health back. Also always stayed slim.

Mr. Big Mouth

Mr. Big Mouth was the largest also the oldest cherry stone clam that lived at the bottom of the sea. He only had two friends, one was Timmy who was a small goldfish and the other one was a hermit crab called Roy. Mr. Big Mouth could only have those two friends because all of the other creatures were afraid of him, because if they swam near him he would eat them. But Timmy became Mr. Big Mouths friend when he got lost from his parents. And Roy became Mr. Big Mouths friend when he helped him get rid of a bad tooth by making Mr. Big Mouth fill up his mouth with many broken shells, and than told him to bite down as hard as he could, this way it could break loose that bad old tooth of his. After biting down he had to spit out all of the shells along with that bad old tooth. Mr. Big Mouth ate all the time and he was also known to eat to much and whatever came passing in front of his mouth. His friend Timmy would always warn him about eating to much. And Roy his other friend would tell Mr. Big Mouth to watch what he ate. He was told days, weeks, months and than year after year. But it went in one ear and out the other one. Mr. Big Mouth was a very stubborn clam. He would only do what he was not suppose to do. One night there was a very bad storm the sea became very mean, strong and wild from the top all the way to the bottom of the sea went completely crazy. Timmy told Mr. Big Mouth to please come hide with me but Mr. Big Mouth looked at Timmy and said No! And poor Roy, being pushed by the strong waves, yelled Mr. Big Mouth keep your mouth closed! And than again he said No! The sea was getting rougher and rougher. Many things were passing in front of Mr. Big Mouths mouth, and as they did he ate them. When the storm was over everything became calm again. Timmy and Roy came out of their hiding place, only to find their friend Mr. Big Mouth in a lot of pain. Now to help their friend with his stomach pains, Timmy and Roy made him eat a great amount of broken sea shells, until he could not eat anymore. Mr. Big Mouths stomach got so full that suddenly his mouth opened up so wide that everything came flying out as fast as a strong wind. When everything came out of Mr. Big Mouths stomach, he began to feel much better. Now Mr. Big Mouth listens to Timmy about eating too much, and to Roy about watching what he eats. Because of the lesson that he learned, Mr. Big Mouth will never have stomach problems again. He also lived a longer life.

Those Magic Ice Skates

During the winter threw Christmas week grandma Betty would always take me to see her best friend Rose Edwards. Rose was an ice skate instructor for the little girls ice skating league in New York City at Rockefeller Center. My grandma had a dream that one day I would be in that league. It has been three years that she has been taking me there. This year grandma said to me Savannah Douglas when we go to Rockefeller center on Christmas week I am going to enroll you in my best friends little girls ice skating league so you can learn how to ice skate. When Christmas week came grandma Betty and I went to see her best friend Rose. When we got there grandma told Rose that she would like to enroll me into the league. Rose told my grandma that she would be honored to do that. Rose also told grandma that I would need a pair of white ice skates. So grandma and I went to buy some, but they were very expensive so grandma and I went looking for a second hand store. While we were in New York she took me to look at all the second hand stores there. As she was driving threw the city grandma spotted a large Salvation Army store so we both decided to go in. While we were looking around grandma found two pairs of ice skates. A man by the name of Ted, that was working there came over to help us. When grandma showed him what she had found, Ted said to her that he had a better pair of ice skates in the back room. Grandma asked him why were they better? Ted answered, because they were worn by Sandy Swanger a professional ice skater from way back in the fifties and was one of the greatest ice skaters who ever preformed at Rockefeller Center. Its been many years since she has been gone but she will always be remembered, by everyone who knew her since she was the best ice skater in New York. If you don’t believe me, next time you go to the ice skating rink look for her poster than you will see how she use to look in her good ol’ days. When my grandma heard that she said to Savannah we are buying those skates! Than she took me home and grandma told my parents the good news. My dad gave me a big smile and mom gave me a big hug. They both asked if that is really what you want to do? I said yes!

During my first week I did not do so well but as I continued to practice I became better and better. When my grandmas best friend Rose saw that I was ready to perform, Rose told my grandma that I will be performing in the next weeks prize show. By looking at my grandmas face while Rose was speaking to her I could see the happiness that she was feeling.

Finally tonight was my night to perform in front of my family and a large audience and my family. There are four other girl performing before my turn. As I watched their performances I began to feel scared, now it’s the last girls turn. And grandma must have noticed that I was scared so she came down to wish me good luck. Than she said think of Sandy when your out there skating don’t look at the audience, keep your mind on Sandy and your dream of performing. Than I heard my name being called. The announcer said, Now we have our last contestant that will be performing tonight Savannah Douglas. As I started skating on the ice I could hear my family cheering for me. As I got to the center of the ice I blessed my self and asked god to please let Sandy guide me threw my performance. As I began to skate I started to feel light as if I was being carried. All threw my performance I knew Sandy was with me to help me do good. Everything went so fast that before I knew it my show was over. Than I heard the loud yelling and cheering from the audience. Then a man started to come out towards me to take me off the ice. As he was skating to me he had in his hands, a large bouquet of flowers. On the top of the flowers was a large white ribbon that said first prize. When I returned to the back room my parents, Mrs. Edwards, and my grandma were there to congratulate me on my winning victory. Grandma said Savannah I always knew that you could do this. since that night I became a great professional ice skater just like Sandy Swanger. From the sky she made it all possible for me to be a great winner, also grandma Betty for buying those magic ice skates which I continue to wear in all my performances to become a great professional ice skater.
