The Birth of Soup
by Josie, age 8, Illinois
Once upon a Tuesday in a town called Chicken Nugget Villa, the town had no soups. None. Mr. Vegetable, the town’s mayor, made an important ban from any soups. We do not know why.
But Sir Chicken Soup stood in the center of the town square and said, “I don’t want to put shrimp in non liquid stuff.”
Senor Carrot and Senora Celery came dashing into the town square. They always synced with each other. Together they said, “We want to make stuff thats spillable. Not crumbly.”
As the moon rose behind all of them, Mayor Vegetable left to go to sleep.
(Ahem ahem) Sir Chicken Soup hollered, “RUN! Come here! Don’t just stand there! Now is our chance to make something spillable!” Senor and Senora agreed, “Yes! Something with liquid! Something delicious that you can eat with a spoon! Not a fork!”
As they simmered ingredients over a warm fire, the smell went all around the villa. Mr. Vegetable woke up yawning, but quickly perked up. “What is this amazing smell?! Oh my, it looks spillable!”
The smell of this unusual spillable thing drew more visiters. Sir Chicken soup and his chefs, Senor Carrot and Senora Celery said, “Villagers, please come try some!”
Everyone hollered, “This is so good! What is it called??”
“Um…uh… soup. I will call it Soup,” said Sir Chicken Soup. “Yes,” Senor and Senora chanted, “ SOUP, SOUP, SOUP, SOUP!”
Starting tomorrow, on Wednesday, this town will be called Vegetabale Carrot Celery Chicken Soup.”
The villagers cheered! “More soup, please!”

The Magic Jello Egg
by Tabitha, age 11, Arizona
Once upon a time, there was a boy. His name was John John Jonathan, the 27th, and he loved jello. He tried to make a jello flavored cake, but he dropped an egg on the floor, but it didn't break. He wondered why it didn't break, and the egg said that it was a magic egg which startled John John Jonathan the 27th, so he asked what the magic egg would do with its magic, and then the eggs said that it could turn things into jello and create jello at will. So John John Jonathan, the 27th, used it to fill his bedroom with jello, and then he made a yellow dog who he named jiggly and he made it rain jello all around them, and then jiggly stole his egg and told him that he was taking the egg for granted, so he was going to turn John John Jonathan, the 27th to jello, until John John Jonathan for the 27th promised not to misuse the egg’s powers anymore and also give you 12 no make that 13 pieces of Swiss cheese every morning the good expensive kind. The end!
Jill and Tooki Guy Fight Aliens Turkey Style
by Simon, age 6, Virginia
Hi I’m Simon and this is my friend Cow.
“Moooooo.”
We are going to be telling the story and I am the author. So there was once two people who were…”
“Moooooo.”
Let’s just read the story so we can know them. There names were Jill and Tooki Guy. They went underground.
“Moooooo. What? They went underground? How did they do that? Wow that is so fantastic.”
Anyway back to the story. So the two people went underground and found two creepy little aliens. Luckily those aliens were nice but they let out bad aliens to attack Jill and Tookie Guy.
“Moooooo. How does that keep happening. Are the people okay?”
I don’t know. Let’s keep reading the story. Okay. “Oh no!” said Jill. “We should fight them with a turkey.” Tooki Guy said. Bock bock bock!
“Mooooo. Are they serious they fought a turkey?”
Let’s go back to the story. Jill and Tooki Guy went and fought with turkeys in turkey style. But the evil aliens won. So Jill and Tooki guy got on the spaceship and flew into space while eating turkey on the way to the moon. The end.
“Moooooooo.”
The Adventures of Ogelflop Jr III
by Melanie, age 10, Massachusetts
Ogelflop Jr the II went to The Everything Store to get his groceries. When he was in the food section he saw his best friend named Bob. They talked for a bit. Suddenly, the alarms went off. THE PENGUINS WERE ATTACKING!!! They were attacking because they were imprisoned their whole lives (in zoos and aquariums). So Ogelflop and Bob pull out their jetpacks and laser tag gear and crash through the roof! They start playing laser tag with the penguins (that’s how you solve every problem) and they won!
Later that day when Ogelflop was taking a walk he saw a saw that could out saw any saw he ever saw. At the beach he bought some shells at Saly’s Shop of Seashells but Bob had to take a nap because when he plays laser tag he goes really crazy and gets really tired.
Ogelflop went home to get ready for his date with Fredarella and gave her the seashells (which he made into a bracelet), then he went down on one knee and proposed to Fredarella.
At the wedding (see next page for more details).
So they got married and lived happily ever after.
The end!
