The Moose

     Jack and his family live in Johnstown, Alaska.  He lives in a house way to small for his family of seven, even though his father is the wealthiest in town.  His dad, Evan,  is the only animal veterinarian in the whole county, so all the wounded animals come to him.  One warm, relaxing, October night, nobody in the Bostinn family could sleep because of an awful wailing from behind the house.  Is it a cow, or a moose, Jack thought.  Moose are very rare where he lives, and he has never seen one.  He tried falling asleep, but the sound kept him awake.  At 12:15 Jacks dad came trampling down the steps.
     "Okay, I have had enough of this!" he yelled. Out the back door he went. About ten minutes later his dad yelled, " Jack, come here!" After Jack put on his hat and jacket, he went out.
     "Oh my, it's a moose!" Jack exclaimed.
     "It almost looks like it got cut by razors," explained Jacks dad. Sure enough, along all four legs, the moose had about seventy-five cuts, some worse than others.
     "I know just how to fix this! Jack, go hitch the trailer onto the truck and get it warmed up. We are going to bring it to my office to get it stitched up." Jack listened to his father and got the trailer hooked up and got the old '99 Chevy warmed up. In no more than thirty minutes, his dad had the moose stitched up and in his veterinarian office ready to go back into the wild.
     "Jack, I put in some special stitches that will decompose and fall out after the wounds are healed." Ten minutes later, they let the moose go. He walked away without barely even limping.
     "How do you do it, dad? I mean, make it how the moose can barely even feel it."
     "Lots of practice, son, lots and lots of practice."

Baseball

     I like to play baseball. When I play, I usually play third baseman. I am not great by any means, but I still like playing. last season, we got third in our district.  I like it because it is simple and enjoyable. Eve n though I like playing it, I do not like watching it, I think it is boring. Baseball is my third favorite sport, behind football and wrestling. All of my friends play baseball so that also makes it more enjoyable. That is why I like baseball.

Troll War

     It was my weekend with my Grandpa. That is when I heard the story.  It all started at dinner, when I asked where mushrooms came from.

     "I will tell you where they came from.  It all started in '52, when the trolls came out of the ground."

     Of course I didn't believe him, I mean who has ever heard of trolls coming out of the ground? It was when he went on that I started believing him.

    "Like I said, in '52 is when the trolls came.  They brought little hammers with them, and that's all. They came in groups of ten thousand, and there was 1,574 groups overall. The trolls knock over any thing in their way. They even knocked down trees if they had to. They started taking over then. They even recruited some humans!"

     That is when I started believing him.

     "The doggone little trolls even stole all the food.  In a period of one year, those little rascals took over China! That is when us Americans decided to jump in.  We had to drop a troll bomb on them to get them to leave!  The people were finally able to go back home to China."
     "What are troll bombs, grandpa?"
     " Well trolls, you see, hate nice smells so a troll bomb, when it explodes, smells like roses, sugar, spice, and everything nice"

     "Well that still didn't answer my question about what mushrooms are."

     " Oh yeah, the mushrooms are the little trolls hammers."

     And to this day, even though I am thirty-four and counting,  I still won't eat mushrooms or hammers or whatever those rotten things are.

The Dolphin Pages

     Hi, my name is Sucky the dolphin.  (  My name is pronounced Sooky by the way.)  I would like to tell you about my life.  I am one of the seven wonders of the sea. When I was born, I was able to read, write and talk.  On my third birthday, a big boat came and captured me!  After a few weeks I figured out that I was captured by a thing called a circus, and man wasn't that a terrible place!  People crowded around me and they even threw things at me when I wouldn't speak.  A person called Tequah the scientist also studied me. She even put needles into my flipper!  I was so mad!  One day I listened to Tequah talk to another scientist and she said she figured out why I can talk!  She said I have human vocal chords, even though I have no idea what those are!  I kept living in the circus until one day another scientist saw how poorly I was treated, and now I am living in the Hawaii Dolphin Society!  I am treated much better now.  That is all about my life.

Jack and Jill Cross Examination

Q: So Jack, your friend Jill here went with you when you got water for your mother, correct?                                

J: Yes, she did.

Q: Would you tell me precisely what happened?

J: No.

Q: What! Why not?

J: Why should I?

Q: Because I told you to.

J: Fine, if I have too.  When we went up the hill to the well, I tripped on a root from the near by tree and ended up tumbling down the hill, with Jill right behind me.  Happy?

Q: Not really.  I will be happy when you tell me how you broke your crown.

J: How am I supposed to know, I didn't mean to, and even if I did, I would never tell you.

Q: WHY NOT!  I asked you nicely!

J: No you didn't!  And I NEVER BROKE THE CROWN!  I already told you that!

Jill: No, he didn't break the crown, the ground did.

Q: Ok, I believe you.  Did you ever get water in the bucket?

J: No, we fell before we ever got to the top of the hill.  I already told you that.

Q: Did you ever try after going to the top again on that day?

J: No, I was busy trying to clean up the crown.

Q: Did the bucket break on the way down?

J: No.

Q: Thank you for your cooperation.  You may leave now.

J: Finally.  I hope I never see you again.

Q: Bye
