Saving Lor By: Sarah Galantini

1. Saving LorBy: Sarah Galantini I was walking through the woods in my town called Klee And all the other people were looking at me, I waved back to them and suddenly BAM! I fell through a hole and there was man. A man! A man! A man I found, He looked at me and suddenly bowed. I didn’t say anything, I didn’t because, I was so confused, befuddled I was. He said hello my name is Neisse, Come here, come here, come this way please. I did what he said and followed him to, A yellow door in the sky that’s blue.

2. Saving Lor (page 2)By: Sarah Galantini He led me in and shut the door, And said please help us poor. I need you to find a golden house, Which leads to a golden town called Grouse. Neisse said hurry before time runs out. I asked him how much time do I get about. He said 2 hours before time goes away, And before our town has its last day. So I ran and skipped and jumped and pranced, And saw the door from a distance, I only had 5 minutes to spare, Before the town of Lor planned to disappear. So I walked through that golden door, I pressed the button so I could save Lor. I did and then everything turned green, And I was back to my town called Klee.

5. The Gray WolfNatalie Lozada In the forest grand and tall, A wolf lurks about. With his eyes of red he sees us all, As he lurks like a scout. In the forest great and tall, A wolf catches his prey.

Can you guess what beast this is? It’s the phoenix, yes it is.

46. Sight and sound are priceless treasures, To live without both is a horrible fate. You couldn’t hear an alarm’s loud buzz. Couldn’t check the clock to see if you’re late. You couldn’t hear the sound of your voice, You couldn’t see your hand in front of you face. You wouldn’t be swayed by flashy advertisements, You couldn’t enter any contest or race. You couldn’t see the color-changing leaves, Or hear the bird as it sings. That’s why I treasure sight and sound Above all other things. Lucas Vitalos
