10. Level Nine: Story with Paragraphs, Plot and Details!!! On a hot day in August, many years ago, a boy named Sammy sat by the window of his house. He looked out through the rusty black bars at the cars zipping by in a blur. He could hear his neighbor’s pitbull, Zook, barking next door. He would sometimes bark for hours. A few houses away, an old but feisty german shepard, named Max, barked back. Sammy wondered if summer was ever going to end. Two more weeks ‘til school started and he was going out of his mind. If only his friend Erik hadn’t moved away. They would be outside right now, even in the hottest sun, throwing their football back and forth. Sammy was a better quarterback but Erik had the magic hands. Suddenly Sammy heard a screech and focused his eyes on a red spaceship landing in the street in front of his house. There was a flash of light. Sammy’s mouth opened. A door in the spaceship slip straight up. Out walked a green alien with 8 eyes. Four eyes focused on Sammy while the other four kept looking around the neighborhood. Suddenly it raised a big, crooked green finger, pointed at Sammy and spoke, “Earthling, do you have any peanutbutter?” Sammy gulped and nodded. Sammy and the peanutbutter alien became the best of friends. It turned out they both love skateboarding, detective books and dancing. The alien was a little weird, but Sammy just told people he was his cousin. Sammy never was bored again.
