What It Means To Be Free

by Daniel Herman, second grader - 2/24/1992

My friend Dan recently dug up this essay he wrote in second grade. The assignment allowed him to write about any topic he wanted. While others wrote about dogs and basketball, he chose to write about freedom.

I will tell you what it means to be free. Our country was once ruled by England but now we are free. There have been many laws passed to make sure that people are free. The Emancipation Proclamation said that the slaves were free. No one could own the slaves and make them work for them. The Declaration of Independence said that we were free. We were free from being ruled by England. These laws are important because some people think everyone should be treated evenly. This means everyone is free to make their own decisions.

Let's Grow Gills

by Cody, fifth grader


I turned on the news and heard there was going to be a flood. Immediately I screamed with joy. Mom and Dad said what’s the matter? I said there was going to be a flood. They also screamed but not with joy. They panicked. I said to Mom, "Maybe it’s because the polar ice caps melted."
They said, "that’s silly".
I said, "you never know".
They then said, "don’t be stupid".
I said, "why not"?
They couldn’t come up with an answer. My parents asked how will we survive?
I said, "that’s easy".
They said, "how"?
I then said, "Let’s lock up the doors."
They said, "You’re getting stupid again."
I then said, "Let’s" grow gills"! Almost immediately, we grew gills. Right when we grew gills the flood came. It scared my parents. Again I screamed with joy. We then began to fish. They used me as bait. We caught 78 pirhana and 56 sharks. I was having a lot of fun. After the flood was done I said I hope we have another flood. It would be very fun!

The Mystery of the Stolen Money

by Maddie, Consuelo, and Jonah, second graders


Note: I'm posting this mainly because of the terrifying final line.

Once upon a time there was a kingdom with a King. He had lots of money but then someone stole it. The king was sad but he had helpers named Maddie, Consuelo, and Jonah. The king called his helpers to find the thieves. They did try to help but they couldn't do it because they couldn't find them.

They went to the woods to think of something. When they were there they heard something running. They ran too, except Maddie. She just stood there and kept watching the thieves. Consuelo and Jonah chased after the noise to find out what it was. When they got a little closer they saw something in his hand like a dollar bill.

• Jonah: Maybe they are the thieves?
  
• Consuelo: How do you know?
  
• Jonah: Well, they do have the money. Maybe we should go back and tell Maddie what we saw.

When they got there Consuelo told Maddie that they saw the thieves.

• Maddie: Where?
  
• Jonah: Right at the end of the woods. Let's go to the king.
  
• King: Why don't you set a trap?
  
• Maddie: How?
  
• Jonah: First we have to draw a map Maddie.
  
• Maddie: What kind of map?
  
• Jonah: Well a looking sort of map.
  
• Consuelo: OK.
  
• Jonah: Now we should go see if it works.
  
• Maddie: There they are. Then let's do it!
  
• Consuelo: But how?
  
• Jonah: Well, it does not matter. Here we go. Now get down.
  
• Maddie: We got them, and together!
  
• Jonah: Look at the money. We'll see what the king says.
  
• King: Well done! Now you go down to the dungeon and you kids get a prize.

The end!
