Bill The Sock Eater
“Gather round children, and listen to a story of when I was young-ger”, Said the Old Weirdo who lives somewhere else. ”I bet you my mile long beard that this will scare you out of your socks (laughs manically).”
“How do we know that you didn’t make this up”, asked the village idiot. The Old Weirdo answered, “Oh trust me, I experienced this story first hand (laughs manically and village idiot screams, and all the children run around in circles screaming). The name of the story is… Bill! Bill the Sock eater! Que Lightning (lightning strikes)! It all started in the year nineteen onedey-one (1911)! There was a young boy who ate nothing but big, fat, smelly, sweaty socks! some people complain about the moths chewing holes in their socks, but others complain about Bill… eating their socks whole! They begged him to stop, but instead of making his habit slow, they made it grow! He ate pickled socks, caked socks, a jewel sock, avocados stuffed with socks, but worst of all, anchovies… in his socks! Man, that sounds delish; would anybody lend me their socks? No? Okay, well anyways; one day they had enough and decided to stop him! They locked him in prison, but while in prison he took up eating something else… Eyerything! It was awful, it was terrible, it was in my opinion… delicious! So one day (June 32 if you must know) he ate his way out of Prison! He ate more, and more! First the prison, then the Moon, then he drank the great lakes (mainly because the pyramids were spicy)! Then, when he was really hungry he ate all of China ! Wow! Good thing it was Universal go to mars day! When everyone got back from Mars they were horrified! Bill had eaten the world into the shape of a Sock! So a new branch of the military was formed!

The Moppers Who Were Actually Mops
by 7.5-year-old Norah in Washington
Once upon a time, there were two moppers named Mrs. Mopp and Mr. Mopp. You might be wondering why their last names are Mopp. Well, it’s because they were actually mops!
They decided to become moppers. They liked lollipops. They only liked lollipops because they could throw them up into the air and make them do a loop-de-loop.
When they were in the mopping place at someone’s house, they simply wet themselves and DANCED ALL OVER THE FLOOR!!! Then, their boss got stuck in the snow. They put themselves in salty water and danced all over the snow! The salt was able to melt the ice, and their boss got un-stuck.
The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Mopp invited their boss to a tea party! The boss spilled his tea, and Mr. and Mrs. Mopp were delighted, because they got to DANCE ALL OVER THE FLOOR and clean up the tea!!! Then everybody in town spilled their tea, and Mr. and Mrs. Mopp DANCED ALL OVER THE TOWN!
But then, an inventor named Eleanor invented an invention that kept pouring tea, and she left it on when no one was using it. This made Mr. and Mrs. Mopp annoyed because they had to keep dancing forever.
Then, Mr. and Mrs. Mopp did a dance on a wet stage. But, unfortunately, Eleanor brought her new tea spilling invention. But then, they were shocked because a girl from the audience came with someone who looked just like Mr. and Mrs. Mopp. The girl was like, “WHAAAA????” because Mr. and Mrs. Mopp said, “Hi, what’s your name?” to the mop! The girl said, “What?? You can talk?!?!?! That mop doesn’t talk, though.”
Mrs. Mopp asked, “What’s your name?”
The girl said, “My name is Eleanor. I snuck the tea spilling invention because I like to clean! The invention made me able to clean forever!”
“Oh,” said Mrs. Mopp. “I thought it was so we could clean.”
Eleanor said, “I just put on glasses and a dress, and it made me look like another person. That’s why you didn’t recognize me!”
