Ping the artist

By Grace

Once upon a time there were three little pigs that lived on Willow Farm with their Mother and Father.The pigs names were Rosabelle ,Jazz and Ping.They all had something special about themselves. Rosabelle was very pretty and clean, Jazz was excellent at dancing! But Ping didn't know what his special thing was.One day, Ping saw his brother and sister playing and using their special talents. That made Ping sad, so he went to ask his  mother. " Mother? What is my special talent?" His Mother said " Well Ping,I don't quite know. Why don't you ask your Father." Okay!" said Ping. But Pings Father didn't know either! Maybe Milkshake knows! Thought Ping,So Ping asked Milkshake the horse. " Nope " said Milkshake. " Oh, okay."  said Ping sadly. So Ping went back home and had some lunch. After lunch Ping drew a picture with the mud on the fence because it helped him think. In the morning the farmer brought out the slop and saw Pings drawing,"Well I'll be!" said the farmer. "One of my pigs can paint!" He said. "I'm gonna be famous! Oh and my pig of course!" Later a news reporter came by and saw Ping painting again! After wards the news reporter did a story on Ping and left. Later on the farmer was watching the news and Ping said " Look Mother! I'm on T.V.!" Why yes you are!" said mother pig. When the farmer turned the news off ping was walking over to get some lunch and noticed how good his painting was. "Mother!" Said Ping. "What?" asked mother pig. "I've figured out what my special talent is! ART!!!" said Ping. " Great job Ping!" Said mother pig. Now Ping finally knew what his special talent was! That was Pings best day ever! Now Ping is known as Vincent Van Gogh! And nobody knows that he's actually a pig!

                              

Gemma the Goldfish

By Kayla Jeffery

One time at a pet shop there was a goldfish named Gemma. She lived in a small fish tank at the front of the pet shop. Everyday Gemma watched children and their parents go in and look at all the animals and laugh when they would bark or meow or chirp or do tricks but the children never stopped to look at Gemma. Gemma was sad because she could not bark or meow or chirp or do tricks to make the children laugh all she could do was swim. Sam the spider lived in a small glass case next to Gemma. Sam saw that Gemma was sad he asked her," Gemma why are you sad?" Gemma answered," I am different, I am not wanted." Sam replied," Well I can't bark or meow or chirp or do tricks to make the children laugh either." Then Gemma said," But you are special you can spin webs and catch bugs! You are amazing!" Sam replied,"Gemma you are special to! None of the other animals can swim and none of the other animals can breath underwater!" Gemma then said," Wow I guess I am special!" Later a little boy in a wheelchair DID stop to look at Gemma, Gemma was soooooooo excited she swam around and around in circles. And the little boy laughed! He turned to his Mother and said,"I want this little fish for my pet!" The little boys Mother said,"Are you sure Justin? This little goldfish can't bark or meow or chirp or do tricks why don't you get a dog or a cat or a bird instead?!" But then Justin said,"No, I want this little goldfish she is special just like me!" And so Gemma got adopted and lived happily ever after.
