An Eco-Story by Beatrice!

            Once upon a time there was a slug named Envy, she loved to help the environment (so she was basically a little Miss Environmental). She loved to discover new things. Once, while she was discovering the villages, she found a slug stone (just read the story to figure it out). She didn't know what it was meant for so she asked around what is was and everybody said they didn't know what it was so she asked Slops (which is a shop for slugs). But, no one knew so she knocked on the door of Wiz. Wiz knew basically about everything: recycling, comic books, the future, and much more. Envy knocked on Wiz's door. She showed Wiz the slug stone. Wiz said that "a long time ago there was a very strong girl who took the stone out of the sword so she was pronounced queen". "The slug stone represented the slug village. After the queen died, they lost the stone, they threw it into the forest so whoever won it would win it fair and square!" Envy didn't know what to do with the slug stone but she remembered there was a new queen. So, she went to the castle to show them the slug stone. Queen Megan and her royal throne followed her. Envy knocked on the draw bridge they answered but no one heard about the legend so they brought her in quickly. They knew she deserved the throne but she said she didn't want to be a queen so she said she wanted to be declared Royal Earth Speaker (she spoke for Mother Nature) and Queen Megan could then keep her crown. Queen Megan asked the servant to call every single slug for assignment to becoming an earth tracer. Envy helped around and slug village reduced, reused, and recycled. Now, the slug stone was safe and sound.

Rockstar Writing @ Rotary Summer Literacy!

Writing time at Rotary Summer Literacy is heating up this week! Session 2 features mystical creatures, and fairytales. Our campers have been using their brilliant imaginations to come up with some very creative writing pieces - here are two that really stood out this morning! 

Hans Point of View 

Love is an open blah blah blah blah! That is sooo annoying! That whole story is useless! Because I'm the bad guy!

Here is the case, I was walking, minding my own business, and Anna this little Rudehead, I mean Redhead girl, says very rudely, "Hey!" And I ask: "Im so sorry are you hurt?" So I helped her up and she didn't even say thank you! Sooo rude. Oh, and that Elsa girl is a real party pooper! She ruined my plan! 

At the end, Anna PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE! Right off the boat! It was like I was a jerk or something. 

Well, there you have it. My side. 

I got throne in jail. 

The End.

The Little Red Story

Hi I'm the wolf in "Little Red Riding Hood". Everyone thinks I'm the bad guy who ate a grandmother. How mean is that! I'm here to tell you the TRUE STORY! 

So one day I was taking a walk in the forest when I smelled cookies! I love cookies, my grandmother used to make them, my favourite, so I followed the smell and came upon a little house. I saw a little girl with a red hood. The cookies smelled closer, so I followed her. Not in a creepy way but I did. I hid behind a bush. She heard me so I revealed myself. I said "Hi, what's in the basket?" She said, "None of your business." I felt upset, so I asked her if I could see. She slapped me and walked away, without saying sorry! So I ran after her and heard her say she was going to her grandmothers. So I ran to her grandmothers cottage and laid in the bed. I didn't see her grandmother so I waited. I heard her come. She asked if I wanted a cookie and I said yes please, I really wanted a cookie. So I stopped and said grandma what big eyes you have, I said better to see you dear. She said, grandma what a big nose you have. I said better to smell the cookies my dear. Then she said, GRANDMA WHAT BIG TEETH  YOU HAVE! I jumped out of the bed and said, the better to eat your cookies. She screamed and yelled HELP! I chased her around to get the cookies. Then you wouldn't believe it a woodcutter heard her and came. He cut off a piece of my tail and I yelled and ran away. 

So that's the true story. I moved from the forest and went to the big city! 

The End.
