There was a boy whose name was Tim; his temper got the best of him. He got mad once and stamped his shoe, and nasty words around him flew. He shocked his mother and his dad; they wondered if their boy was bad. The child then ran around to kick whatever thing his foot wouldContinue reading “Booting”

Bathing Blue
My brother and I needed something to do and so we decided to bathe our dog, Blue. We filled up the bathtub with water and soap; “Mom will be happy,” I said with great hope. Now Old Blue was sleeping and snoring quite hard under a tree by the swing in our yard. Mom wasContinue reading “Bathing Blue”
The Talker
Sarah talked the whole day long — that kid would not shut up. She talked so much on school days, her teachers would erupt. They’d send her to the office to talk to Mr. Green.

My brother told me yesterday that if I tell a lie, my nose will grow and get just huge and so I’d best not try. I’ve thought of nothing else since then and sure am feeling sad because I’ve finally realized — I just can’t trust my dad!
The Doubter
There was a boy who liked to doubt whatever teachers talked about. He doubted two and two was four; he doubted three and three was more. He raised an eyebrow when he heard the ostrich is the biggest bird. He disbelieved that some squirrels fly; he said it was a great big lie. He doubtedContinue reading “The Doubter”
