The Gum
by Kathryn, age 8, Nebraska
It was a dark, stormy night and Henry the dog was taking his around the block walk, and little did he know there was a piece of gum around the corner. When he turned he found the gum and stuck it in his mouth and trotted home. The next morning he still had the gum in his mouth. He thought he was crazy and he was imagining things because wouldn’t it have just fallen out or he swallowed it? He tried to spit it out but he couldn’t. He went to the mirror in the bathroom and stuck his tongue out. Sure enough, it was stuck. He zoomed to his owners and stuck his tongue out again to see if they knew what to do. They got the tweezers out and managed to get a tiny piece of it off his tongue but it was useless so they took him to the vet. “I hate the vet” Henry thought. “But it is worth it!” He thought again. The vet said they might need to cut his tongue off and do surgery. They said if they do it he will be fine but they could also do experiments which maybe won’t end up so good. So Henry’s owners picked surgery and the next day surgery was over and the gum still wasn’t off. They got a firefighter, police, emergency room and even called the government. But no one could help. But the one person that could help was a detective named Bill. All Bill said was retrace your steps. From the beginning! So they went to the corner where it all began and the gum fell off. This has been a mystery for years and no one has figured it out yet. Will you?

The Mutant Cheeseburger
by August, age 7, Virginia
Once upon a time there was a peaceful village and a bakery. They sold cheeseburgers. The mayor said to make living cheeseburgers and they did. They made three. The first two were perfect. The last was evil and it ate the customer. The seller was shocked and he ate the cheeseburger. The end.
