Batty and Spidy

                                                          Batty and Spidy

There once were 2 best friends, a bat named Batty and a spider named Spidy.
In order to be best friends, Batty had to promise Spidy she wouldn't eat him, but Batty broke her promise and ate Spidy. Now that we got that out of the way I will tell you what happened that made Batty eat Spidy.

Batty woke up at night, because as you know, bats are nocturnal. She woke up Spidy even though he was being a pain about it. " What are you waking me up for!!!! It's night!!!!" Spidy yelled.
" Well, Mr. Boring,I woke you up so we can have some fun!" Batty stated. Even though Spidy was being a pain at the moment, he fixed his mood for Batty. Spidy then told her, "Yes Batty. I know that. You wake me up every night to have fun." Although Spidy was Batty's best friend she was still upset to be woken up at night. When Spidy was fully awake, they went into the woods to explore, which is not fun for Spidy, but is for Batty.

" O.K. we are in the woods. Now what?" Spidy asked." I don't know, I haven't thought this far." Batty replied. After that, they fought a lot about not knowing what to do, being hungry, and being thirsty. Then it happened........... 

"I am so hungry I could eat spider." Batty said with a mischievous look in her eyes. Wide eyed and in disbelief, Spidy replied," You wouldn't dare! You promised to never eat me! That's the whole entire reason why we are  friends!" Gulp! In one swoosh Spidy was gone and in  Batty's stomach." What a satisfying meal." Batty said.
The End

The Village Red- Fighting to Catch You Up

In the fight of Purple Tornado, Arnold Crimson fought. As they fought, he watched the mighty Tornado back off into the sunset. He watched as his commander screamed out “ 30.7 seconds! A new record!” That’s the Village Red on a daily basis. The Village Red’s skill is fighting. As you just learned, they are very fast at it! 

Once, when all my ideas were being molded together, there was the idea of 4 villages, all corresponding with each other, all with a specific color, and an amazing group of villages set aside for joining. These 4 villages were: Yellow, Red, Green, and Blue. There have been more villages since then, such as Pink, Purple, and the combo village Magenta, but today we focus on the village Red.

Once, when all the villages were being formed, there was the Village Red. Their supreme fighting skills came from the fact that red is the most violent color and is also the color most associated with anger. Their enemy, as you could probably guess, is anyone who gets on their nerves or in their way.

Now there is only 1 question to ask. When will you chose the Village Red?

Holy Cow!

                
                                        Have you ever wondered where the saying holy cow came from? Well here’s exactly where it came from. 
Once upon a time there was a cow named ma moo moo that lived on a deserted island called cha chu chu. On that island everything is lowercased except the start of sentences and only has one living thing on it…ma moo moo. the only thing that ma moo moo knew was himself. Ma moo moo’s parents died when ma moo moo was just a little calf from a storm. 


One day, he saw a little house and decided to go in. Inside he saw a little rocking chair with a little old lady on it sewing.  The little old lady took him in and ma moo moo helped the lady get milk for her to drink and the lady knitted a sweater for him. They were best friends...until one day ma moo moo got ill and the lady did everything she could for him before he died one day when he was asleep and never woke up. Every night the little old lady would say I miss you...you are my HOLY COW. She passed it on to her children, their children and so on. And that is how it happened. 

  THE END

Hatchet

                                                                   Hatchet 
Hatchet is a great book that is based on something similar that happened to the author,Gary Paulsen. It is about a bush plane, CESSNA 406, that crashed into the Canadian wilderness after the pilot had a heart attack. Aboard was Brian Robeson, a 13 year old boy who was on his way to visit his father in Canada after a recent divorce. Brian was left to fly the plane with the little knowledge he had of flying from the pilot before the heart attack. When Brian lands the plane, or more like dive the plane, into the lake, he is grateful to have his only tool he had with him, a hatchet. When he got up to the surface he saw an overhang which he used for shelter and he used the lake for drinking water.  

Using his hatchet, Brian made a fish spear to catch and kill fish from the lake. Also, Brian made a lot of useful items to help survive. He survived a moose attack and a tornado. After the tornado, the tail of the plane came up and Brian built a raft to get the survival pack. When Brian finally got the survival pack, he turned on the emergency transmitter and left it on. While it was on, a plane overhead heard and landed on the lake. The pilot rescued Brian after he was there for 54 days.

Hatchet is a great book for kids who like action and an adventure because there is a lot of action and the story is an adventure.

The Attack of Purple Tornado

Hibernae was a regular brown bear who was very shy, smart, brave and, of course, sleepy. One night, Star Tail, a lioness who was patterned like the night sky, alerted everyone that they had to gather the war council. Square Bot smiled worriedly when everyone entered. He said, “My data screening shows that our nemesis, Purple Tornado, is approaching.”
“Oh no,” said Sun Paws, taking his seat around the table. “you all know what happened the last time.”
Hibernae looked around the table at everyone's nodding heads. They were all older than her so they had more experience, she wasn't expected to fight anyway since she was mostly known for sleeping. Everyone began murmuring and Hibernae listened for anything that might help her. 
“He's so...big!”
“...can only be defeated by magic”
“...very dangerous”
“You remember all the destruction…”
Prophetic Voice interrupted everyone by saying, “Everyone, quiet! We need to protect the the lab, the castle and make sure Purple Tornado can't get through the portal and hurt anyone else. Disappearing Tiger and Star Tail, you should guard the portal,” Disappearing Tiger nodded his head, “Sun Paws and Waves In The Sky will be at the castle, Square Bot and I will guard the lab.”
“But...what about me?” Hibernae asked, “Where do I go?”
“ Um…”Prophetic Voice started,
“Don't worry about a thing!” Star Tail interrupted with a smile.
“Ok.” Hibernae said dejectedly  and she walked home as the meeting hall once again filled with voices.

Once home, she flopped on her bed and tried to fall asleep but for once she couldn't. Suddenly, she heard a whooshing sound and when she stuck her head outside, she gasped. It was so windy that stones were flying past like leaves and Hibernae could barely keep a paw hold! She finally forced her way outside and dug herself a hole hoping she would be safe from the storm. She huddled in it for what felt like hours listening to the wind howl and her wind chimes making awful noises. She was just thinking, ‘oh I wish that this awful storm would stop!’ When suddenly, everything was quiet. Hibernae cautiously opened one eye and saw purple, everywhere. She closed her eyes again because the purple looked like it was spinning and she was getting dizzy. 
“Oh little bear,” she heard  a deep taunting voice call from above, “come out from your hole.”
She was, frightened but she was no ‘little bear’ so she leapt out of the hole and troweled in the direction of the voice. She spun around in a full circle until she saw the source of the voice, a towering, swirling, purple figure. In a word:Purple Tornado. (Actually that was two words but, whatever) Not wanting to show her fear, Hibernae growled even more fiercely. Purple tornado just laughed his booming laugh as Hibernae took a tentative step towards him.
“Oh, look,” he taunted, “the sleepy bear has finally come out of her little hole. And while she was sleeping, she didn't even notice what my troops did to her precious house.”
Hibernae quickly swing her head in the direction of her house and gasped, before her, stood what used to be her beautiful, peaceful house In ruins. Angry and upset she hurled herself at Purple Tornado who easily moved to the side, not anticipating this, Hibernae had to skid to a halt so that she wouldn't bang into a tree. She spin around and glared at Purple Tornado who smiled he charged again this time this time knowing that he would sidestep, and when he did, she followed but was suddenly spin around and flung against a tree. Dizzy and even more angry, Hibernae sat down to think. ‘Well, he can only be defeated by magic, so I think I'll get Prophetic Voice over here.’ 
“Oh, none of your friends can help,” said Purple Tornado, “I've knocked them all unconscious. And after I do the same for you, I'lL head through the portal. Mwahahahaha!”
“Wait,” started Hibernae, “you can read people's minds?”
“No, you just said the last part about getting Prophetic Voice over hear aloud.”
“Oh.”
“Well, anyway,” Purple Tornado continued,”on with the duel!”
And so, Hibernae lunged and slashed and ducked and charged over and over again. When Hibernae was getting really tired (Purple Tornado hadn't even broken a sweat, of course, because tornadoes can't sweat) she felt a strange sensation, even more sensational than déjà vu,  and suddenly she was just as tall as purple tornado! ‘This must be the magic we need to defeat him!’ Hibernae thought to herself. So, being the smart and brave bear that she was, she lashed out and with a signal blow, Purple Tornado was no more! Hibernae found her friends and when they came to and she had told them her story, they were so astonished and proud of her that they made her the hero of the month. 
The next week, it was Hibernae’s birthday  and everyone came to her house that had just been rebuilt by the village yellow. After the cake and entertainment, it was time to open gifts! Sun Paws and Star Tail hauled in a giant table and when Hibernae looked at it she saw that ingraived in the top was a picture of her fighting Purple Tornado.



The Village Yellow: A Building Story

The village yellow woke up. Amelia Dandelion called out “ I need a house!” and the village was off on their feet. Amelia gave them the plans and they finished in two seconds! That's the Village Yellow for you. The village yellow’s skill is they can build anything faster than it takes you to say, “ Here are the plans!” The village’s supreme skills started with the base of all things here; an idea.

Once, when all my ideas were being molded together, there was the idea of 4 villages, all corresponding with each other, all with a specific color, and an amazing group of villages set aside for joining. These 4 villages were: Yellow, Red, Green, and Blue. There have been more villages since then, such as Pink, Purple, and the combo village Magenta, but today we focus on the village Yellow. 

As the 4 villages collided, the Village yellow formed. Their supreme building skills were produced from the fact that yellow is the color that is associated with gold, which is a natural rock as well as a color. Their enemy is unidentified, but from the wreckage of the attack of the infamous Purple Tornado, they built their patented Your Village, Your Way machine to help. 

So next time you think about fictional builders, don't think of Bob, think of the Village Yellow. Although the village yellow is only semi-fictional.

Inside Out Review

Guys! You have to see this movie that came out during the summer! It's called Inside Out! This Movie is out on DVD and I bet that you will be able to get it in stores today! The rating of this movie is PG, and it has no rude words in it. This movie is SO funny but a little sad at the same time. The movie is about a girl named Riley who has mixed emotions about moving and starting a new school. In Riley's head, some of the emotions loose Riley's most precious memories. That makes Riley mad and scared because Sadness and Joy (Two of the main characters) went looking for the memories. The setting is at the school, new house, and inside Riley's head. The characters are Riley, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Joy. The type of movie watcher who might enjoy this movie, Inside Out, is someone who loves a movie that is a little sad but SO, SO funny and happy at the same time!

Thank you for reading my post! I look forward to making more posts in the future on Word Worms!

How Elephants got their Trunks

You may think Elephants naturally came with trunks. No, but this is the story of how they got them. 
                         A long time ago...
Elephants had really short noses,most of like ours. One day, a little elephant named Ellie, went to get a drink of water in a nearby swamp. What Ellie didn't know, was that there were alligators in the swamp. While Ellie was taking a drink, an alligator came up and snatched her nose! Ellie pulled back as hard as she could, but the alligator didn't let go. Soon, Ellie's nose was six times longer than it was before! When the alligator finally let go, she quickly ran away back to her friends and family. Everyone saw that Ellie was embarrassed. They felt bad so they decided to have the alligators stretch their noses too! After their noses were stretched, it became a big trend to elephants all over the world!
            And that is how elephants got their trunks!
