New York

by Gabby D.

In New York is the Statue of Liberty.
In New York is Chinatown .
Even though my cousin
lives in New York, I
have never been to
Chinatown or the
Statue of Liberty.

My Chapstick

Rolling on my lips with glitter so bright
smells so good
like a bunch of blueberries

Cupid's Arrow

What would happen to you if Cupid shot your with his arrow and you fell in love with the first thing you laid eyes on? What would it be? What would you do?

Andrew
Once I was in Kentucky with my family trying to catch some wild horses while riding on our horses. My horse was a pinto. Her name was Sugar. I saw something in the sky coming closer and closer but then I realized it was CUPID in the sky. I saw him pulling something back. It was a bow and arrow. He let the arrow go. It was coming right towards me. Then it hit me. I fell off my pinto. I wasn't hurt but I was wondering what happened and the first thing I saw was my pinto. I fell in love with my pinto. When we got back, I slept with my pinto every single day. I fed her. I would ride her. I saw Cupid again. He shot me. I saw my two dogs. Now I love them and my horse.

Tessa
One day I was waiting in line for Kentucky Fried Chicken. And then all of a suddent Cupid shot me with an arrow and the first thing I fell in love with was Kentucky Fried Chicken. I went everywhere with that piece of fried chicken. And one day I took my piece of chicken and I was so hungry that I took home and wrong piece of chicken and ate the one that I love. I never found out.

Mikey
I was minding my own business and our principal strolled into the room and Cupid appeared and shot me. I said hi to her and I love you. So she hauled me off to her office and asked me to repeat what I had been saying the whole time. I said that I love you. She thought I was as mad as a hatter. She called my mom and said your son is mad. "I'm not mad." I interrupted. I love her. My mom screamed. Soon after I was asked to talk to the school counselor. I kept muttering I love my principal. To make matters worse, I got suspended for the time being and then they expelled me.

Cassie
One day I was watching my gerbils. Cupid sot me. I fell in love with my gerbils. I took them out of their cage. I kissed them 50 times. I got little red dots on my face. Cupid shot my mom. My mom fell in love with some noodless. My dad fell in love with the shower. My brother fell in love with me. We had a pizza party. We watched TV. We had fun.

Zac
One day I was in my classroom and I raised my hand and then Cupid appeared and shot me. And Ms. Marshall called on me and I said, "I love you." And she said, "Go flip a card." And I said, "I love you." and she called my mom. And my mom said when we get home you go up in your room. And I said, "I love Ms. Marshall." And my mom and Ms. Marshall fainted and everyone in the classroom partied and wated American Idol and had cheese popcorn.

Emilie
One day I was walking by the curb. I looked up. I thought I saw a witch but there's no such thing. Suddenly I saw a cat. Cupid shot me with a heart shaped arrow. I opened my eyes. I saw a black colored cat. I fell in love with the cat. My mom said I could keep the cat. I named the cat Babybob.

Brave Stories, pt. 2

by Mrs. Underwood's third grade class

Brave Chelsea
If the nurse would have stuck the q-tip down my throat for one more second...
Once I had strep throat and a nurse came in the room to stick a q-tip down my throat. If the nurse would have stuck the q-tipdown my throat for one more second, I would have taken it and thrown it across the room and she would never have found it. So I was really brave.

Brave Caleb
My MawMaw called for my PawPaw to come help me.
One time when I was at my MawMaw's house, I got my head stuck in the bedpost. I screamed for help. My MawMaw called for my PawPaw to come help me. It hurt but I was brave.

Brave Michael
It cut my fingertips off.
I was at my camp playing in a pick-up truck. When I was getting out, I held onto something sharp. It cut my fingertips off. I had to go to the hospital to get them sewn back on. They had to give me a shot to make me go to sleep. It hurt but I was brave.

Brave Stories

by Mrs. Underwood's third grade class

Brave Brad
I was scared but brave.
One time my family went to Mass, and when it was over I was dumb enough to go ahead of my mom. I got lost for a very long time. When no one was there anymore, I got scared but I had an idea. I walked to my grandmaw and grandpaw's house. When I got there I told them the whole thing. Then they called my parents and told them to pick me up. I was scared but brave.

Brave Erica (and her twin sister)
She got a red cast and I got a spanking.
When I was three at my house, I was on the slide. My sister was in front. I pushed her. She held on with one arm. She flipped off and broke her arm. I went to the hospital with her. She got a red cast and I got a spanking. Emily and I were brave.

Brave Lauren
I did not like that answer.
I was in the hospital for three days and two nights. It was last year. I had oxygen. It was very uncomfortable. I could not sleep at all. I would ask my mom if I could take the oxygen off, but she would say no. I did not like that answer. I had to have a breathing treatment every day but still I was brave.

Brave Brandi
This guy found me and brought me home.
When I was 7 years old, I was going to ride my new purple bike. So I was in a hurry. My Dad went to get the camcorder. I was trying to rode it alone and I fell off. I was crying. This guy found me and brought me home. I was scared, but I was brave.

Brave Brittany
Some people said it was a tornado watch.
I got lost at my school fair and I couldn't find my mom. But then I found my sister and she was looking for me. My mom was looking for me too. So it turned out to be a whole big mess. Some people said it was a tornado watch but it was a hail storm. I was scared but I was brave!

Brave Michael C.
They grinded the rust out.
Once when I was four years old, I went to the beach and got some old rust in my eyes. So I had to go to the hospital and get the rust grinded out. They brought me in a room where they put me on a table and put me to sleep with some sleeping gas. While I was asleep, they grinded the rust out. When I woke up, I had a patch on my eye. I was nervous, but I was brave.
