The Weak Flower

     Up top in a little flower was a whole nest of bee's. These bee's were no ordinary  bee's they were the weakest bee's you could find. The other ones would laugh at them. They would collect the pollen and the weak bee's would get to eat  the pollen that they collected so they had to do no work whatsoever.

     "Hey pipsqueek can you go grab me some of that pollen Buzz."

     "Ummmmmmmmmm Beatrice I don't know if I should do that I'm one of the weak bee's." Buzz said. But for all your readers information Buzz had the biggest crush on Beatrice. Later in the hive, The momma bee was resting because of what she had been thru the whole day, 100 bee's died from stinging humans and 20 bee's died from getting in big tough fights with wasps. But just to be clear the wasps were the bee's enemies you would think that they would help each other out but they really hate each other.

     That night Billy the strongest bee in the nest went to the weak flower. He sneaked into Buzz's room put honey onto his lip and then put feathers over it so it would look like a mustache he also put pants on him, but by the way when your a human it's embarrassing to not wear pants but when your a bee it's embarrassing to wear pants. When poor Buzz woke up in the morning he got out of bed and everyone started laughing he looked at the people laughing the most, Beatrice and Billy it was very embarrassing for Buzz. When the momma bee came in to see al this noise Billy walked up to momma be and said,

     "In the morning all I did was walk in and saw Buzz in the weak flower with a mustache and pants."

     "Buzz is this true?"

     "NO IT'S NOT I WOKE UP IN THE MORNING AND WHEN I WALKED IN EVERYONE STARTED LAUGHING AT ME!!"

     "For some reason I think this has to do with you Billy."

     "Okay, okay I admit I put that stuff on Buzz Bit it was just a joke."

     "It's not a joke!" momma bee said "How would you feel if you were Buzz?"

     "UMMMMMM..............I would feel... WEAK."

     "Okay fine you would feel weak wouldn't you? From now on you and Buzz will switch places, Buzz will be in the strong group and YOU Billy will be in the weak flower."

    "UM I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA MOMMA BEE I'M NOT SO STRONG!"

     "Yes I know that's how you will prove your bravery  and smartness."

     For the next 3 months Buzz hadn't been in the weak flower. He wasn't invisible anymore, Now instead of Billy being the "Strongest" Bee in the hive Buzz was the strongest, Fastest and smartest but most of all the most confident.

No Space but A Lot of Soccer

     

There was a group of boys that watched soccer on their little T.V. One of the boys had an idea.They thought it was a very good idea.

The Idea

The boy’s idea was to make a soccer team. But did I mention they lived on a floating island in Thailand and space can be hard to find.

Space

They had to have somewhere where they can play to play. So they made a soccer field, but the soccer field had nails sticking out of it and water all over it so it was very slippery.

The Flyer

One of the boys came in with a flyer. On the flyer it had a soccer ball. The headline was soccer tournament. They didn’t know if they should do it… But they did.

1^st

On their first game they won 2-0. They were better than they they thought they would be. They were very proud even though there were disbelievers.

2^nd

They lost their 2^nd game. They tried really hard. But because it was raining they took off their shoes they were still proud. But the disbelievers turned into believers.

Beloria's Narrative

Linda is a 3 year old loveable girl she loves to play with dolls and Dora things. She is the only child in her family but one baby is on the way. I chose to write about her because she is a star in my life she is the cutest girl in the world. I think this because I’ve looked up the cutest kids/baby’s in the world and no one is cuter than her. On one Winter day in New York one of my cousins families were going to Dallas and my cousin Linda (in a different family) wanted to go to, so she asked her dad, “Can I go with you to Dallas”

Her dad said “Yes I’ll take you with me” (since he was already going for work).

They took off, when she was there she was thinking about me. And then she called her mom and begged “Can I go see Belle?”

“I think it’s too cold in Seattle”, her mom answered. Linda replied

“Ok fine”. Linda had a delightful time with my other cousins in Dallas, but she still missed me a lot –and I missed her a lot too. She went to Dallas, Texas with her dad because her mom Esther is pregnant and could not go on the airplane. Linda traveled so many places and had a lot of fun!

I asked my mom “Can we go to Dallas?” She said “No, we are already going to New York next week and you’ll see her there”.

“But I really want to go.” I complained.

My mom said, “You can face time instead”.

I tried, but they didn’t answer the face time.

I bought her two Dora coloring books, one Dora purse, a Dora puzzle, and last but not least, Dora markers for the Dora coloring book.

So, when I was packing my suitcase for New York, I packed all the Dora gifts for her.

When I arrived in New York, I gave it to Linda. She was so happy and gave me a huge hug. She said “oh my[LS1]  gosh!” “Thank you, I love you Belle.”

Because of My Family

                                                                  

 

     My family have set an amazing example. They have very good sense of humor. For example, funny. I think this because they make a lot of people laugh (that includes me). I am also really funny I am really funny because my family is. The reason I am smart and handsome is because the men and boys in my family are. I really like baseball because 1. I am extremely good at baseball and 2. My grandma likes it and I use to watch Baseball games with her.

 “Who is up “demanded my grandma excitedly?

“Nick Franklin” I announced.

     I am really healthy because everyone in my family doesn’t let me eat too much junk. For example, ice cream, donuts, brownies chocolate chip cookies and soda. I acted fast and went for one of the last brownies.

“Jakey those are for the gust” said my ant.

“Please can I have one” I demanded.

“No”

“But they don’t even know that they are there”

“You could have after diner”

“How much do you want to bet that my mom won’t allow”

After dinner in the end I earned it and I earned it without anyone except my mom knowing.

     Hilarious things happen in my family. For example, I have watch really funny movies and so have my brothers. There is a movie called Robin Hood: Men In tights and there is a seen when        Blinken a blind guy said,

“I could see”

     And then he walks into a tree! That was even funnier when joey did that seen.

     My Family has extremely cool things. For example, my Papoo has gave me a bat that Seahawk players have signed and also on the bat there were Mariner autographs. He received this from his clothing stores that he used to own and players use to come and buy things from him and give autographs. Another valuable thing that I have received is a piece of gold and a sighed ball by Ichiro. That was something that I received from my grandma. The best thing that I am getting from my whole family is love.

     I have prepared for many exciting events. Such as Baseball games, Basketball games, when I sing things at my EB like a haphtarah or a mafteer and my graduation from each grade.

    Whenever I have a performance my family don’t just come and be there, they clap correct me whenever I do a mistake and they bring things to me to celebrate special parities for my birthday.

“You played grate” announced my mom.

“Thank you” I said proudly.

“I brought you some cupcakes for your birthday, do you want some Know”

“Know thank you”

After that I went home and the next day I brought the cupcakes for the class.

     There are good things that happen in my life and bad things that happen in my life and the way that I solve my problems is by talking to my parents to solve my problem and help me feel better about what happen. For example, my mom helped me solve a problem, and my dad has help me solve a problem and sometimes even my brothers.

     I have homework and depending what grade I am in is how hard it is and I am in 5^th grade so my homework is quite hard. There are some extremely hard questions and the way that achieve the right answer is by using strategies that my teachers have taught me and if I do that and I still don’t know the right answer usually my mom or dad would help me. I am incredibly glad that my mom and dad can help me do my homework. For example, the reason that I am glad is because every week we have something called homework celebration on Fridays, and the only way to receive that is by accomplishing your homework. The things that you can do at homework celebration is talk with a friend play on the computer or you can do things like that.

     My family is amazing. I think this because there are so many things that they have helped me with and hears a couple of them. For example, my Papoo and Grandma have a pool and every summer we go to their swimming pool and swim in it and my whole family is usually here. Sometimes I either forget to get my goggles or some food for after swimming and it’s really annoying when I forget a towel and usually the way that I get the towel is by just getting out then my mom, dad and grandma are the ones who get them for me.

“SPLLASH” the water went as it hit against the side of the pool.

“Cannonball” I yelled as I collapsed against the water.

“Lunch” announced my mom.

“gi,gig,igi,gi,gii,gigi,g” as I was shivering so much that I could hear my teeth hitting against each other.

“I need a towel” I demanded.

“Here” said my mom.

     Another reason why my family is amazing is because they are extremely talented and help me be talented like them. Once I started to get into making things I started to garden a little bit and I needed someone to help me so I had my Saba and uncial for two years I have been gardening all different kind of things for example, potatoes, tomatoes, carets, cucumbers, squash, zucchinis, lettuce  and many other things like that. My favorite thing to garden are tomatoes. Last year I was planting and my uncial brought a lot of knew plants and from a far distance I saw I could scan something in a bag as he was hiking to me. Once he was closer to me I said,

“What is in that bag?”

“This is for your birthday” as I ran to him to get a better look at my birthday present.

It was a whole bunch of tools to help me garden.

“Finely tools now I don’t need to get so dirty”

My family has made my life better. For example, they have taught me things that have made my life better.

“Get off your tablet Jakey” my mom demanded!!!!

“Can I just finish this game” I requested?

“You have to do your homework, 1 2…”  

  “Coming”

DUN DUN DUN…

 

Because of Ben Friedland

I walked into my new classroom with my mom and dad by my side. I walked in and saw kids and their parents. I didn’t know anybody at that time but later I got to know a new friend Ben Friedland. I saw people talking to each other. So I walked up to someone and said, “Hi, my name is Sam.”

He answered back “My name is Ben, my grandma knows your grandma and they talked about us.”                                 

I asked if he knew anybody and he did he introduced me to them. My new class had started praying I didn’t know any of the words but I still followed along. I met more people over time.

When I was in 1^st grade I moved about two blocks away from Ben. When we moved he and his family used to live with his grandma. Soon after we moved my family requested for his family to dine at our house. We played basketball in my room we had fun it was delightful.

Because of Ben I’m a husky fan. Ben wears purple everyday just to represent our collage team. Both of Ben’s sisters go to U DUB. One time Ben, Charlie and his brother Josh took me to an opening season husky game. We won it was fantastic. My dad has a friend that has husky basketball season tickets so I’ve been to three basketball games with my dad.

Before Ben and I’s first basketball season at S.H.A. Ben asked me “Do you think we will be good”

“Me and you we will be good.” I answered back. Our team went 2-4 the next year we went 6-0 I was a starter every game. This year Ben and I went to Josh’s basketball games. I always go to Ben’s house and play sports one time we made a football play at his house.

During the 2013 summer my mom took me, Ben and my little brother Shaya to the Puyallup fair, sadly Shaya cried the way there, when we got there we both got a slurpee and I also had a scone. At the top Ferris wheel I yelled at the top of my lungs “HI MOM”

“HI HONEY” I heard her scream back, I also saw her wave and Shaya wake up from his nap.

“What do you want to do next” Ben asked once we got of the Ferris wheel.

“Zero Gravity, Let’s go” I told him.

The ride was thrilling when I was done I thought I was going to pee my pants.

“That was scary” I told him.

“You’re the one who wanted to do it” He shot back and I had no response.

The day before thanksgiving I went to Ben’s house for the whole day. We watched Nancy Drew it was a little confusing and spooky, we also had buttery popcorn. After the movie we played football Ben had a crazy amazing catch. That night after dinner Ben asked my mom.

“Can I sleep at your house?”

My mom said “If your mom says it’s okay” We asked Bens mom and she said okay so he came and slept over. The next morning we played really unfair teams of madden 25. Soon the guests (Family and Friends) arrived, we watched football and we ate and drank coke. Soon Ben’s sisters came to pick him up.

Because of My Mom By. Shimon Gamel

Two years ago my Mom taught me how to ride my two wheeled bike. It was hard but I got the hang of it. It was so fun to learn how to ride my bike. Now on Sunday mornings I can ride my bike around Lake Washington. Once Victor Maimon was sledding at my house he slipped on some ice and got hurt but this is the real story. One snowy day at my house Victor and I were sledding it was fun until it started pouring with snow Victor was sledding and his sled slipped on ice. “Victor are you okay” my Mom said.“Whoa you flew like a bird and crashed like a plane.”“I hurt my leg.” Victor replied.This shows my Mom is caring. Mm… the smell of the pizza and cheese mixed together flowing into your nose. The first bite is amazing. I did not stop eating until my stomach was hurting. I said “Thanks Mom it’s delicious.” My mom replied “Your welcome Shimon.” This shows my Mom is a good cook. One day I was really bored so my Mom made me laugh “I’m bored.” I moaned
“Well I would like to tell you a joke.” My Mom replied. If I remembered the joke I’d tell you. This shows my mom is funny. My Mom is the best Mom ever. For example, all this stuff I’m telling you is good but the other stuff is amazing. My Mom is funny, fun, helpful and awesome.  The end, or is it Dunn Dunn Dunn…My Mom was so mad her face was as red as a tomato “I’m so mad I lost the race.” My Mom yelled with anger.“It’s okay there’s always next year.” I Said “Don’t be mad.” My Dad said, "This has happened to me before.” My Grandma replied “But I was so close.” My Mom said. My Mom was in a race and she got pushed and lost the race. This shows my Mom runs races. My Mom took me to a baseball game it was awesome “Yes” I said “We're winning thanks Mom for taking me to the baseball game.” “You’re welcome Shimon.” My Mom replied“All thanks to you today was awesome.” I said “Hey Mom do you want to get cracker jacks.” I asked “Sure.” My Mom replied. Because of my mom you know she is the best Mom ever. The End

Because Of My Family

I was born October 14, 2003. My life is like a wild ride you can never get off of.

 I got asthma when I was 1 and a half, it was kind of scary sleeping at the hospital when I wasn’t even 2. A year and a half went by and Ariana was born October 10, 2006. Ariana was big handful all she did was cry and eat, and that was really annoying.

 9 months later my cousin Mayer got married. At the wedding me and my cousin Sophia were flower girls. When we were walking down the isle we froze picked up all the petals that we dropped and ran to are parents, everybody was laughing at us.

 Mayer told my mom,

“ I don’t mind there only 3”.

My mom just laughed.

A year later my other cousin Josh got married in Miami. We got to stay at the Fountain Blue, which is a nice hotel! The morning of the hotel was like a herd of wild animals entered the hotel. Again me and my cousin Sophia were flower girls  but this time Ariana was a flower girl with us. But this time we knew how to walk down the isle.

That same year my grandma got cancer, Luckily it was small unlike my cousin Ari Grashin his cancer took the best of him.

2 years went by and FINELY my other cousin Zach also known as the guy that works at garbanzo bros or screen play writer etc. Either way he got married to a REALLY nice Australian girl named Ella.

Everyone who has siblings knows that they can be a BIG handful. Just like my siblings Ariana and Noah. Ariana is a dance machine, because if you play music she will dance. And Noah, It’s kind of annoying how he over thinks things.

 Last year (2013) we went to Hawaii for Pesach. It was really cool to be able to wake up and eat delicious food and then getting into the ocean and relax. When we woke up the next morning in Hawaii they served REALLY good food.

That summer we went to L.A! It was pretty cool having all those kosher restaurants there where. While in L.A we went shopping at really cool stores like Karen Michele and a lot more.

Now we are in February. My brothers bar mitzvah just past and 450 people RSVP for it was a mad house. The party was really fun because my entire family came.

My relatives are crazy head to toe. But they are the best siblings a girl can ever have.

Because of my cozens

           My cozens are special in my life because I only see them like once a year.  But when I do see them we have a lot of fun. I have eight cozens in Israel carol is the oldest then Abe Shana   Sammy Dahlia  jo Aliza yonit . When I was in 3^rd grade the Jacobson’s moved to Israel. I remember that everyone was crying .Dahlia Shana and my mom went out side

“I’m going to miss you a lot “my ant said

“Me to “yonit said

We take pictures and said bye we waved to them until we could not see them.

I asked my mom “do you think they will ever move back “

My mom said “no I don’t think so”

 

When my aunt and uncle went to Israel for a trip yonit dahlia and Shana stayed with us. One of the nights they stayed with us it snowed. That night Sophie Shana dahlia and my mom went outside. Me yonit and al were wondering where they were because we were still up.

“Where are they” aj said

“I don’t know” yonit asked

The door opens my mom walked in.

“Where were you” I asked

“Outside why are you up”

“Because “aj said

I had a lot of playdates with yonit. We would play little pony and sometimes we would get into a little fight about what pony we would get.

“No you got it last time” yonit said

“No you had it and any way you have it whenever you want” I said

“No”

“Yes”

“No”

“Yes”

“Whatever you have it I don’t care “I said

We would also have a lot of water fights girls agents boys. There would never really be a winner it was just for fun.

“We are going to win” aj would say

“No” I said

The boys got the back yard and we got the front yard. I would go to the back yard and say to the boys can I be on your team and they would say yes. So they make water balloons and I would take a few and say.

“I’m going back to the girl’s team”

The boys would say

“Give the water balloons back “

“No”

I would go back to the girl’s team. The water fight would start we would grab the hose and start spraying. And that is my cozens from Israel

    

Because of my Uncle

      My uncle is a very nice person. He loved everyone. He also could not stand my mom’s guacamole. He always thought it was missing an ingredient. I always looked up to him. Literally he was really tall. He had brown hair. Then he got old so he got grey hair. You may think that I mention something more than once let that be sign that it was important. This is a story about him.

     It was one night at my house with all the chairs tucked in ready at the table with the food on everyone’s plate when my Uncle saw my mom making guacamole. He just couldn’t resist. He grabbed the salad dressing and poured it in the bowl and mixed it around. By the time my mom got back everyone had a grin on their face and was chuckling. My mom turned around and saw my uncle roar with laughter. She looked in the bowl with guacamole and saw the salad dressing and she started giggling to.

My uncle said, “What’s done is done!” and that was the end.            

     A few weeks later my uncle came in for dinner one night and brought salvo (my brother) a magnet with his name on it. At that time I was looking around the house thinking wow those chairs have nice patterns and those lights are very bright. A minute later I was crying my head off. (I was 3)

I was screeching, “IT’S NOT FAIR!!!!!!” Every second.

MY dad walked over and said, “Its okay I will get you one.”

“NO!” We all stared at our uncle. “It is not okay to be jealous.” I stopped crying I stopped crying and just stared. “Okay?” He said.

“OKAY!” I said with a jolly voice. After that we put the magnet on the fridge and I smiled so wide as if I got a toy I wanted my whole life.

     My uncle also makes people laugh when they are sad. My brother came home from school with a glum face. My uncle asked him what was wrong

My brother said,” I don’t want to talk about.” So my uncle started telling jokes, and my brother started laughing. Once again my uncle has made someone smile.

     My uncle would go to his neighbers house every morning. He would talk to them, tell them jokes and make them smile. Cause that’s what he loved to do. They tell him that they were the best jokes. Because they were.

     My neighbors noticed that he wasn’t going to their house in the morning. He had fallen asleep and never woke up. My uncle Salvo had died. When we found out we were devastated we didn’t know what happened all we felt was sadness and despair. We try not to think about it anymore but it’s hard not to. I was only 4 years old. He taught me to feel confident and happy and never sad I’m still working on it but it will kick in at one point. He is the one that taught me to believe In myself and that’s how it will stay for the rest of my life. 

Because of Kayle

Because of Kayle

My dog Kayle is an Airedale Terrier and is black and tan. She is around 4 years old and really cute. She is such a good dog and a really good companion, she can make anyone feel good.

A couple of times my dad would say “I really want you guys to get a dog”.

When my dad stated that we were going to get a dog all my older brothers who didn’t like the idea of getting a dog got kind of mad.

They would say “why are we getting a dog”?

Or “this is so dumb”.

But my dad didn’t care, because he had a dog when he was a kid and he wanted us to also. So he looked up a breeder and we got the same type of dog that he had when he was a kid.

My grandpa was here and it was summer when we got the dog and so he went with my dad to get her.

I remember my dad saying “great you’re here let’s get the dog “.

We decided to name her Kayle a couple of nights before so that was going to be her name. The breeder lived in Calgary so they met up in Idaho somewhere to get her. The trip took a long time so they stayed somewhere at night.

My dad got home really late so I was already in bed. But I heard a conversation with my mom and dad and this is what I heard.

“Wow he’s so cute” said my mom.

My dad then said “it’s a girl”.

I woke up and went downstairs to see Kayle.

But before I got downstairs I asked “is she cute”

But I didn’t get an answer. It was the first day of Kol Rena so I had to leave early. When I got home to notice her lying on the couch and I started to pet her and she was so cute and tiny and that’s when it all changed.

A couple of days after that I started to like her. I don’t think I liked her because she didn’t look that nice when we got her.

I then said “I don’t think she is going to be a good dog”. But I soon learned I was wrong.

Now I play with her and go on walks with her and. She is she is so fun so loveable just like Winn-Dixie.

Every new year’s eve and any other time there is fireworks or thunder she goes upstairs to hide, or goes under a bed because she is so scared it is really funny I always laugh.

Once we went on a trip to Leavenworth for a 3 day weekend.

I said “I can’t wait it is going to be so fun with all the snow and the German style buildings”.

We took Kayle with us, it was like paradise for her.

I said “this is so fun we should do this more often”.

 It was snowing and she took so many walks and we let her out to play with the other dogs. It was kind of like where she was born in Calgary because it snows a lot there.     

Around a year later I was at my sister’s soccer game and it was the last game so after that there was a pizza party. Kayle was there running around playing with us until the game was over.

I remember saying “she’s so happy and this is really fun”.

Before the game was over we were having a delightful time until Kayle took her head and knocked my jaw with it and I couldn’t eat for a long time and my jaw was hurting for a long time.
