The london times

''Peter wake up it's time for you and Lucy to board the train for London''.we live in Finley [near London] we were going to spend a long period of time with our uncle Phillip. He owns a castle in the far side of London. At this time we are having to go because another world war has started. On the train I was thinking about the cookies uncle Phillip told us we could pick out. Cookies are a special treat that our uncle gives us when we come over. Though our mother dis agrees with the cookies he gives us some anyway.

The choclate trap (chapter 1)

Julie galloped through the wet rain of the soaking streets of New York.
"Get in quick!" yelled her best friend Karla. Julie trampled into Karla's apartment. Her brown hair soaking wet. She inhaled a deep breath.
"Thanks Karla, I thought I was stuck out there." Julie said breathlessly.
"Well your just lucky I saw you running down the street." She gave Julie a nudge.
"Where are your parents?"
"At work... I think. But that doesn't matter you're soaking wet! Let's go get you some dry clothes." She flipped her blonde locks back and walked down the hall. Julie followed along quietly into Karla's luminescent room. Her bed covers were bright green. The pillows were fluffy and pink. One said 'Kiss me I am from NY'. And the books on her bookshelf had very bright book covers. She rummeged through her closet and pulled out a pair of boot cuts and a yellow t-shirt.
"where do I go change?" Julie asked turning her head up to Karla.
"you can change in my closet if you'd like." she said pointing to her walk in closet. Julie walked in the closet.
"So anyway, Julie,

They run across the tall itchy grass, in the blazing hot African sun. They are searching for any left overs from any other animals or just peacefully eating grass. They travel in packs and defend for their pack to keep themselves and the pack safe. They are very careful, and they do fascinating things. The head looks like the head of a horse, but with stripes. With part of the main running down its neck. His body looks like it's very strong and sturdy, it also has stripes all over its flexible body. Its fur is white with glorious black stripes that looks like silk, but feels like fuzz. They make a sound that's like a yelping baying noise. You would find it in endless green and open fields in Africa. Their pointy hooves allow them to climb big bulky boulder mountains. It looks like a horse. What is it?

The talker


In a jungle,a long way away.Water drips from every leave.A talking parrot sits high, and stiff, on a branch.with its long beak tapered straight up. But his eyes still watches all around. Its body is plump and has a stubby neck. While it opens it's colorful wings and lets the gush of wind through them.It glows just like a rainbow. I says "hello." It gives a little squawk. You usually discover them in a jungle, Where it is pleasant and cool. It can talk. and say a lot of things and dance. This animal also reminds me of a toucan too. And that is a life of a talking parrot.
The jungle was silent as can be when the cobra slithered up the enormous pine tree.Getting ready to attack three robins in their nest.suddenly a rustle in the trees awoke the robins.Once they spotted the cobra the tree turned into a war zone.They made so much racket the whole jungle came to life with all sorts of noises.many more snakes and birds joined the battle.the snakes shot at the birds with lightning speed knocking them out of the sky. it was like a war of 1,000 air planes every man for himself.the snakes' venom paralyzing the birds giving no chance to strike back.The snakes' tender dinner is finally complete. by Cameron giles

Deadly Preditor

As the gleaming sun goes down over the horizon the Lion goes to hunt. It zooms through the Africa everglades chasing with its tangled mane blowing in the wind. Its enormous, untamed, blood-thirsty face with its razor sharp teeth are ready to bite. Darting so rapidly with its strong legs, short haired body, and his smooth, tan skin. The lion roars as it gnaws at its victum. Its roar sounds like a train horn as if you were next to it. You can compare a Lion to a really fast, black dotted Cheeta. He gobbles his dinner and waits for his next meal the next night.

This creature creeps slowly and swiftly through the thirsty dry desert.The creature stomps on the dry sand with it's eight legs. The other tricky animals blend into the plants to get its prey, but this creature blends with sand witch is helpful for this creature. creeping along the sand,it grasp's it's prey it devour's it's prey. soon there's nothing left beside the thirsty dry desert. Do you know what this?

Crazed Ominous Mink


There is a wild furious mink roaming the rocky dead field ,searching for its next meal.Its face was as wild as you could think ,its face was as dark as the blank night.Its hidiouse nose was sniffing for food as a cat for a mouse.Its body was a little bit bigger than a rat ,but shorter than a cat.Its fur was silky but stuck toegether like after getting soaked by a water slide.It was making a rapid noise like a mouse but a lot more frightening.You can only find a animal like this in Africa, it seemed like it was running but leeping.I saw it, and it saw me and dashed away into a lion carcus.

The gleaming sun crept over the mountain peak as the cougar prowled the mountainside looking for it's next meal. It merged with the gleaming boulders, and it's sparkling blue eyes pierced the land like a knife. It's sharp claws could rip a rabbit right out of its hole, it's tail was as sleek as a snake. It's fur was like a silk sheet and as warm as a freshly baked batch of rolls. It's small nose could smell something a mile away and its ears could hear the smallest sounds. It spotted a few elk calf's, no sign of the mother. The cougar was ready to pounce but halted when it found that the mother had come back, and it ran off into the jagged rocks.
Bridger K. Hackley

The visitor?

In the glistening sunset, The toucan settled curved and inert on a tree limb. With bright wings and a broad, extended nose. The toucan's head swayed from side to side like a boat on the waves. It's ears listened to the quietness of the trees. It's diminutive, chocolate eyes looked for the petite bug to feast on. Then the toucan was ready to carry on. It opened it's spacious, powerful wings, lifted from it's limb and shifted away in the forest.
Mafi Iongi

The White Tiger

The gorgeous white tiger screamed a thundering roar at the dark orange tiger with pitch black stripes, it's look-alike. It's gigantic head stayed as calm as a statue, the fluffs on its cheeks moved slightly in the wind. It's shocking sky blue eyes that would just blow your mind, didn't even close once. For it was to focused on the fight! It's whiskers sensed every movement it's opponent was going to make. It's lean, athletic body stood patient, but it's musculus did not they were ready to move the black rubbery paw, to use it's razor-sharp claws. It's pale white fur with pitch black stripes, swayed back and forth as the wind went right through it. It's tail moved slowly to the left then slowly to the right ready to pounce! Soon the white tiger got to celebrate for it's win! It strolled to it's deep dark cave in the icy hills.
Karly E. Weston

THE DOG

In the grand and luminous morning, a Sch-noodle squatted on a porch; staring at the shining sun. His back is as straight as a smooth desk. His fur is extremely curly and as gray as the clouds. His ears lay straight up, listening for the slightest sound. It's tail moves snail like from side to side. Whenever his chocolate brown eyes stumble upon an animal, he follows it. When the animal turns and stares at the dog, the dog starts growling. He gets in running position. Then he sprints off into the warm wind and tall grass, chasing after the animal.

By: Annie K. Archuleta

stripes' n ' spots

Under the fiery sun of Africa, a mysterious animal wanders around an

antelope herd, getting ready for the chase. This animals head is covered
with with circle patterns and stripes. It's ears are the size of a tigers. It's eyes are a deep shade of brown. This animals body is also covered with miniature circle patterns and sometimes has two long stripes on his back. His legs are muscular and powerful so he can attack his prey with furious speed. This animals fur is as smooth as silk. But, as a baby, it's fur is soft and fluffy. My animal sounds are a little like a domestic cat. He can hiss, purr, and meow. (yet very loud!). You can usually find him stalking his prey around the Savannah. This animal is very unique because it can run up to 70 mph and can leap very high. You can compare him to a leopard because of his dashing looks. Can you guess this animal?





The Fierce Wolverine

The Wolverine is exploring through the Boreal forests searching for it's food. It's long terrifying white claws ready to pounce. It's fierce white fangs ready to tear the flesh of it's dinner. It has a long brown and white stocky body. That is ready to pounce. With it's wide, furred, and webbed feet ready for action. It has a bear like face. When angry it makes a deep snarling noise. It's soft fluffy hair arising as he realizes he is the prey. So the Wolverine readies his legs, and sprints like a cheetah, off to find something else to hunt.

The Midnight Cat

At the crack of midnight the black cat walks down the mysterious ally ready for dinner. As it's pointy black ears wait for the next sound of movement the black cat is ready to devour its' first prey. Its' sharp and forceful claws are ready to strangle then next thing that pops up in the black cats' pathway. As it hides behind a tall skinny trash can and its' razor sharp fangs are ready to eat i pounces on the first thing it sees. That thing is a mouse that is small enough to fit in a teacup. After its done eating he walks off with its' long silky tail sticking straight up and its' oval shaped body is still hungry. so watch out!

In the rain forest, the monkeys long arms swing from branch to branch. He makes small eeping noises. He moves very swiftly, with the wind on his small face looking forward ready to jump onto another branch. His long, brown hair covers his small body. His eyes are like two black holes. His soft but rough skin covers his small body. He jumps off a branch and disappears into the mysterious rain forest.

Sight Of Beauty!

As I walk on to a farm I can hear all sorts of noises like "Ba Ba" or "oink oink." But as I got to the section that has horses you get an amazing feeling inside, full of excitement. I came to a horse that had a beautiful unending face with a long white mark all of the way down that looks like a white candle. It made her body look a dark brown and shiny, she also looked very muscular. I opened her gate then I felt her ruffly but smooth mane to get a good feel. Then I rubbed her back and it made my finger feel tingly because it was so silky. As a fly came leaping by and landed on her nose she started freaking out. As I yelled "WOW" the fly flew away and she calmed down. With my heart still pumping nervously fast I said "bye", shut the gate, and left the barn.

Mystery Strips

What animal has gloomy black and ivory ribbon like strips. It's head and body is shaped like a horse. This animal makes a crunching sound when it eats, and a galloping noise when it runs. This animal comes from Africa or a place where the climate is gloomy and warm. Why this animal is unique is because it has rippling strikes of stripes and it lives in it's natural state. This animal can be compared to a horse. What animal is it?
