The Harp

The Harp

 

So it’s true ,he thought, it’s really true. The Ancient Greek myth about the long lost harp was really true. George was Greek except he did not believe in any of the myths. The tale of The Long Lost Harp was a long one and pretty much said that Athena had lost her harp one night and was never seen again. George picked up the harp and started to play it.

 

After playing for about a minute he saw that somehow he had summoned Athena. He knew what she wanted. Athena wanted her harp back, except she didn’t know that George was not going to make it that easy for her.

“I am Athena, Goddess of…”

 

” I know who you are,” interrupted George.

“Well then surely you must know that, that is my harp!” shouted Athena.

“Yes, I do know. I am not going to let you keep it though.”

“How about this: We will have a race and winner keeps the harp!” said Athena forcefully.

“I think we have ourselves a deal.”

“Ok then.”

 

Athena was smart and quick. She very well knew that she could cheat, but thought that she did not need it. A fine Goddess like her against a wimpy boy who barely even knew anything. On the other hand, George was confident and nervous. He knew he could cheat and trick Athena.

 

The race came. George was not going to race. Instead he was going to take the harp and make a run for it. Athena was well prepared. The race started and George’s plan worked finely. He had taken the harp to his house.

“Don’t think you can hide from me!”yelled Athena.

“Keep the stupid harp!”

“Really?” asked George suspiciously.

“Yes. It is ALL yours,” assured Athena.

George immediately started to play it.

“By the way, I cursed the harp. Once you start playing it you just can’t stop!” cackled Athena evily.

The rest cannot be told by Jessie who was watching this entire time. He decided to leave and go on with his life as if nothing had happened.

Fight for the top of the world

Fight for the top of the world


I think that they should not do anything with the arctic because we should have a bit of untouched land because most of it is polluted. And let the animals in the arctic have there own space and be not bothered because most of the time there in a cage or killed . They should keep that big open space.That is why they should not touch the arctic.

Fight for the top of the world….

 

Fight for the top of the world


There was a race in the Arctic because geological holds 30%. And 300 years ago  Europeans explorers began looking for a northern sea route Asia. In 1905, Roald Amundsen of Norway became the first explorer to cross this northwest passage. Also NO I don’t think the Arctic should come to the U.S because first it would take up to much space and it would be way too cold down here also it is just too awkward to have maybe one of the biggest states in maybe one of the smallest.       

A Strange Day in July

A Strange Day in July

Strange things happen in the world. But this is even stranger than even stranger than ever.

One day in July, Matthew was playing at the creek and he was skipping rocks. Julia showed up and sat on the big rock where to kids put their name on.

“you know you’ll never be able to skip stones right?” Julia said.

Julia picked up a stone and she skipped the stone all the way across the creek.

“See told ya,” Julia bragged.

Matthew folded his arms and then he picked up a stone and he threw it across. Julia’s mouth hang open.

“No way Matthew you just skipped a stone,” Julia said in shock.

Matthew started bragging and picked up a second stone and he skipped it AGAIN!

Matthew felt like the luckiest person in the world so he picked up a stone for a lucky chance.

He threw with all his might, but the third stone came skipping back. Matthew was in shock and he looked at Julia. Julia was sitting on the big rock snickering and cracking up in tears.

“What’s so funny? This is serious what happened!” Matthew exclaimed.

Julia called somebody’s name and a weird kid with a ponytail and he was wearing a silly shirt and khaki pants.

“Hey Julia how are,” the little boy said to Julia who was standing up waving to him.

Matthew was really confused and he was looking at Julia. The boy’s name was Joe and he was from a tribe named Absentee-Shawnee Matthew was really upset that Julia pulled a trick on him. Julia was looking at Matthew and he was leaving to go.

“Matthew come on you are really a let down. Come on we’re just having fun,” Julia said in a serious way.

Matthew was looking at Julia and she was floating or in his case flying in the air. The boy across the stream also was floating. He was acting like he was floating and then he was holding on to Julia’s hand. That’s when Matthew left and he went to the tree house his dad made for him before he went to war.

“Matthew, honey it’s time to eat dinner,” his mother called out. “Mom please just for 5 more minutes.”

THE NEXT DAY

Julia was knocking on Matthews window. His window room was on the third level of his house. Matthew was waking up and he looked at his window on the side of his room. Matthew ignored the knocking and he stated his day off.

(muffling) “Matthew come on you know that it was just a prank from yesterday, how about you lighten up,” Julia said in anger.

Matthew ignored her and he went to put his clothes… and yes he closed the blinds. YUCK!!!

After he got dressed, he went down stairs, ate breakfast, cleaned the guinea pigs cage, and then went outside to go play.

“HELP HELP SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME!!!” Julia screamed.

Matthew knew that from anywhere. Matthew ran to where Julia’s voice was. She kept on screaming. Then Matthew heard the boy from the other day yelling at her. That’s when Matthew ran faster. Matthew knew he was trouble because he has those devilish eyes.

Julia was fighting Joe to get away from him. Matthew picked up a rock and threw it at him. It didn’t work. Tiny looked at him and chuckled. Matthew threw the second one but he budge to let go of Julia.

“Your such a wimp, MATTHEW!!!,” Joe teased.

“Stop it let go of me or you’ll be sorry,” Julia demanded.

Matthew found a huge rock and then he picked it up and it was a bit heavy for him but he wanted to save Julia. Matthew threw with all his might and…

“Ow that actually hurt why would you do that it was just a prank,” Joe confessed. “Julia really you had me worried, I could of had a heart attack!” Matthew complained. “What I had no part in this scam,” Julia exclaimed.

Joe let go of Julia he vanished but he would always right back every month and she would right back to Joe too. Matthew always got letters but he never respond because Joe might come back from travels with his tribe.

That is the story of a….

Valentine’s Day Relays

The 5th grade team is always trying to keep our parties entertaining for our 5th graders.  At Halloween the kids had to move as many candy corns from one cup to another with chopsticks.  For Valentine’s day, the kids had to move candy hearts from one cup to another but sucking them up with straws.  The competition was friendly but intense.  After the top relays from each class met up, Ms. Pinckney’s class were crowned the champs.

The Uninvited Guests…

WHO DID IT…
It was 2187 and it was cold. There were 6 best friends and their name was Kuron,Zuri,Kentrell,Jamour,Joshua,and Matthew. They lived in Australia. So one day Kuron called Kentrell and was like “ Man are you trying to come over this weekend and just have a boys day.” he said. Kentrell replied “ yeah that will be a good idea plus I need to get some air anyway I been stuck in this house with my mommy for the longest but let me just call my other boys aright.” Kuron said “OK”. So Kentrell called his buddies and they agreed. Finally that weekend came and Matthew was so pressed because he never been to a boys night before. “Yes yes yes yes yes “ Matthew said. His ride came all of his best friends were in the car “Bruh I can’t wait to see where I’m going but wait where are we going anyway ya’ll didn’t tell me” Matthew said in a strange voice. So they didn’t answer they finally got home. They played games like truth or dare and playing the Xbox. After that they watched a scary movie called LOCK US IN THE CLOSET. They got bored so they wanted to play hide and go peep and Kuron had to hide and he hide in a very good spot. They couldn’t find him so they got real mad. They all told Kuron that they were about to leave because they are never going to find him and it’s not fair they are going to have time to hide because after they are done playing hide and go peep they are supposed to go to bed. “I’m going home this party is wack I thought this is supposed to be fun but it’s not ya’ll are boring,” Zuri said”. So the boys never knew that Kuron is psycho so he didn’t want nobody to leave because he doesn’t like quitters at all so he locked down the doors and all the mirrors and everything else he possibly could lock up so nobody will get out. “Aw man now we are stuck in here for a long time I got to go home and see my momma what you mean people how ever did this let us out now before I call the cops,”.Joshua said. But he realized that someone took his phone it was Kuron but he didn’t know. O nah someone took my phone to I am never coming anywhere with ya’ll ever again,” Joshua said. The only person that had his phone was Kuron. “Man this is jacked up,” Zuri said. So Kuron came out of his spot with all of the phones they were broke so they made an idea the first way was to find out how they were going to get out of the house and the second way is a way to get their phones so they can call their parents to help them to get out. So Zuri found out an idea to get their phones so he told them idea but Kentrell thought the idea was so stupid but then he had a idea and it was way dumber than Zuri’s. So they just went with Zuri’s idea. They followed the plan but next thing you know they got caught like always. “So ya’ll think ya’ll are going to get away well guess what you’re not I could keep you out here until I die I really don’t care honestly I could shed out here anyway I am 19 years old and I have no problem keeping you in here until I die and you might not be able to see your parents anymore,”. Kuron said. The next day came you know what we got to get out of here,” Matthew said. So they got out of the trap and fought kuron and got their phones and got an axe and broke out of their and all of the  boys were free at last.

AND THAT IS MY STORY OF THE UNINVITED GUESTS..

THE EVIL TWINS…

 

THE EVIL TWINS

 

One day it was 1233 There were these two twins that just moved to Texas.Their names were Peter and Janet. And they had a very tough time with their parents when they were a baby and their parents got divorced. After they got enrolled in school their school was different from others they had to go to school all the way in July. At first they wasn’t sure why but after that they didn’t really care. So after they went home they asked their parents why but they didn’t know either. Peter went up stairs and started his homework. Janet didn’t have homework but she was mad because she loves homework. So when Peter got done with his homework

 

“ Do you want to go on a walk with me,” Janet said. “ Sure I am bored anyway,”.

 

So they walked to the stream around their neighborhood. They always set a path their so they won’t forget the way to the stream when they go. Finally they got to the stream and Peter went to go find a stone to skip when they skipped the stone they started to hold hands and yell at it. They both told the stone “GO GO GO AWAY I’M GOING TO FIND YOU ANOTHER DAY GO GO GO AWAY THAT’S WHY I’M HERE IF YOU WANT ME TO STAY,”

 

Janet & Peter said. They started to rise in the air because they didn’t know that they were evil because when they were a little kids they always song that song and nothing happen so they thought why is it happening to us now. They tried to get down and they couldn’t so Peter called his mom and told his mom to “come to the stream that we always go to.

 

“ I am on my way snuggle bear,”. Christina said. “ Mom don’t call me that I am too old for that name you know,”

 

Peter said. Christina ran all the  way to the stream but the next thing you know they were gone like they disappeared. Christina started to yell “

 

NOOOOOOOOOO my kids are gone forever,”.  Christina started to cry “

 

Mom don’t cry it’s gonna be alright don’t cry momma don’t cry Peter and Janet said ,”.

“ God is that you,” Christina said.

“ No momma it’s really us Peter and Janet look behind you, you might actually see us,”.

 

Janet said. Christina turned around “ My kids my kids are ya’ll are alright,”.

 

“ Yes mom were fine,”. Peter said. So than Peter Janet & then mom walked home and their mom made them some nice delicious cookies.
