The Camel by Isaac

I got this idea when you were thinking of the countries of India and Iran.

There once was a Camel, "Water keeper of the desert" the called him. One day he walked straight into the capital of Iran (which was the country he lived in). The people, the guards, and then King chased the camel across two countries. They stopped in a jungle land they called India. The camel and people lived happily ever after.

Pink Skink 1 by Hannah

This is a story about a Skink. I know that Skinks usually aren't pink. That's why I wanted to write this.

There once was a skink who went to the river for a drink.
Then he let out a toot and he really did stink.
But why was he pink? He's a skink!

Valley Forge by Isaac

This poem is about George Washington's men during the long winter at Valley Forge.

It is cold at Valley Forge
We don't have much food to gorge.
We are very weak and blueness
Covers our cheeks. We sleep in
Our bleek little houses, and
Share our homes with the rats and
Mouses.
