The Dragon in Fire

Captain's log: Stardate 6268.42 We found a new planet. We have sent a landing party down to explore it. It can support life forms.


"Mr. Spock," said Captain Kirk. "I think the landing party should be beamed up now."


"I can't, sir," said Mr. Spock.


They were only able to go down because they were forced down. "Forced, Mr. Spock?" said Kirk.


"Yes, forced because of something unknown teleborted them down and we can't beam them up."


Just then Mr. Spock disappeared. The landing party was Mr. Sulu and Dr. McCoy. They had to investigate. Captain Kirk placed the ship on red a lert and decided to go down himself.


"Space - the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life, and new civilizations, to boldly go where ho man has gone before."


STAR TREK


"Beam me down, Scotty," said Captain Kirk.Yes si-!?!Kirk disappeared. Kirk fond himself on a cliff above lava with fish made out of fire. Trees were on fire, but still producing air.The ground was 78 degrees. The gravity was x2 of the earth's.


"Captain?" said Mr.Spock. Kirk turned to see Dr. McCoy, Mr. Sulu, and Mr. Spock, chained. In a momant Kirk found himsesf chained. Then, they heared a laugh.


A man with a whip was laughing. The man was in a machine that was in the shape of a shaphere. He told his Dragon that was pulling the machine to eat the now unchained men. Captain Kirk ran wildly away. Spock just used the Vulcan death grip. The Dragon was defeated. Then amazingly they were beamed up.

So, the Enterprise continued.

Chessboards and Chess

Chess is a fun game, and it has a great board.  Different colors in chess are very important.  There are 64 squares on a chessboard.  There are 32 black squares and 32 white squares.  There are 32 pieces altogether.  Sixteen are white and 16 are black.  Two pieces cannot share the same square.  If one piece goes on the square with a piece already on it, you go on it and take away the piece that was on it.  You win the game by getting the king endangered on the square he's on and he can't get away on a different square.

I hope you enjoyed this.  Wait for next time I make a post about all the different pieces.

The Spartan Way

Hello, I am a Spartan, and I will tell you about my city. My city is a war city. We have rivals like Athens. Athens is the capital of Greece, and we are backwards to them. We do Olympics here as in every city. We make the best soldiers out of someone. We do actual attacks against neighborly cities. We learn to be obedient by a lot of punches to the kids. That teaches the kids a lesson! We have porridge for a regular meal. We are brave and barren, but women get more rights here than in other cities. It's the place to be!

Ancient Greece

The ancient Greeks' ways and ideas are very interesting.  In ancient days, they thought a bull called the Minotaur made earthquakes. They thought up gods like Zeus as one of their important gods up on Mount Olympus.  He is the king of all their gods and he is important because the Greeks thought he made thunderstorms.   They are excellent sailors and have been since ancient days.

Not on Tuesday, You Don't

We should not speak on Tuesdays or we won't like what will happen.  Listen!  Don't speak on that accursed day, or the god Mars will smash his planet on your house.  He will send his deadly scepter on you.  It will either kill you, or damage you permanently.

He will not allow you to speak again!  He will get you and eat you with "Heavenly Sauce:  Good and Nutritious."  The label says,"Contains honey, cheese, chocolate, eggs, secret ingredient, fire ball, milk, apple skins, salsas, pumpkin, a very yellow potassium fruit, glass, and meat." and "CAUTION: contains milk ingredients, and only gods should eat this."

So don't speak on Tuesdays unless you want adventure.

Tessellations

I made these tessellations myself. There nice, arn't they? I think there repeatable (except for the one on the right bottom). I think that the one that's next to the right bottom and under the white pattern looks like a rose. I like the bee-hive pattern. The top left one may be small, but it is symmetrical. The orange one is known as a rectangle. The middle left one is like a  star.

A Scientific Story

Once upon a time, there was a star. And the star said, "I hate these guys who are in me, so I think I will explode."

And that's just what he did. BOOM! And the Earth, Mars, the Sun, Venus, and et cetera was created. We were all apes at the time. And then a crater came towards Earth. It hit the Earth and because of its impact it flung out of the Earth's gravity, and became our moon.

Then aliens that were from Mars came and  used a flying saucer and took us away to Mars. We took the flying saucer and hit Earth and instantly we became men and women but some didn't and they remained monkeys and apes.

You might be thinking, "Where is the entirely iron space-ship today?" It is the center of the Earth. The Earth grew around the space-ship and now it's too deep to dig out. And that's the story of how the Earth was made.

Please, ask me all the questions you have.

Greeks' Religion

Greece is a religious place. It's full of statues and temples. They worship lots of gods all over! They worship the gods like Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Ares, Athena, Poseidon, Hermes, Persephone, Dionysus, Hades, Hephaestus, Artemis, Hestia, Demeter, and Aphrodite. The Greeks were dependent on their religion because they care about what the gods are doing. The gods can give them good wealth or give them a bad year.

The Two Different Nations

India and America are very different countries.  India's a place where lots of people are poor.  India is a very religious place.  Even though India's poor, it's full of hospitality.  They also go around in rickshaws.  Americans use cars.

Americas ways of life are different than India.  America is strong.  It's so advanced, but it's so polluted.

India and America have capitals.  They also have poor people.  They both also borrow money.  I think we have our own ways.

The Deep

There are amazing things in the deep. There are many types of fish. Some are not even fish, like starfish, jelly-fish, sea slug, coral, and sponges. (The sponges you use to clean your dishes are not the kind of sponges from the ocean.)

Star fish have at least 5 arms. Jellyfish have tenticles (or a tenticle) but their tops are squishy so if you're going to swim in the water, you might see their tops. The sea slug is purple and swims like a slug would do on land. Coral is hard and is a good hiding place for fish. Sponges absorb water and sponges such as the trumpet sponge are a nice home for fish.

There are lots of other animals like the squid, octopus, angular fish, shark, dolphins, whales, seals, sea turtles, krill, shrimp, clown fish, wolf fish, porpoises, cuckoo wrasse, lunpsucker, plankton, sting ray, moorish idol, clam, pollack, cuttlefish, swordfish, Atlantic Pipefish, ocean sunfish, splitlure frogfish, eels, lantern fish, oarfish, and anchovy. You can think about all those fish all you want, but I think God made every fish perfect.

Fall Festival

There is an exciting place called the Fall Festival. On the first day of fall, they celebrate at the fall festival. There are many things to do like eat, buy, learn, play, and watch a parade. You could eat things like free candy and popcorn. You can buy things like shirts, pants, and under-wear. You can play on a chess board.You can learn about flags. And you can watch a parade as they give you candy. If you go to the fall festival, I hope you will like it.

Chemistry

Chemistry.  It is used all the time.  When we want to see how cold it is, we see on a thermometer.  We use chemistry to make thermometers because we know about mercury.  Mercury is a liquid and it expands and contracts as the air around it is hot or cold. Chemistry is also used to keep plants alive. The plants around us need nitrogen, but they can't get it from the air. Thanks to nodules (that have nitrogen), they stick to plants and give nitrogen.  We have such a life with science on our side!

The Horror!

Woe is me!  I have to write a paper about "How great it is to study math." It all started as a sunny, cold morning. I went downstairs untold about the horror that awaited me. And I was forced to write this terrifying paper:

Math is nice to study. Once you start studying, it's hard to stop. (Does it seem like a lie to you? Don't think about it.) I hope you study a lot of hard math, like 3+4 (no, not really. I mean math like 2,062 x 4,893). So study really hard and try to do well and you (at least I hope) will get 100% on your math test.

See? I told you it was full of horror!

Ancient Greece

Ancient Greece is amazing to learn about. Ancient Greece loved war. One of the most war-like rulers was "Alexander the Great." He took over places like Egypt, Perisa,Turkey, Iran,and Pakistan. Alexander seemed unstoppable, but Alexander did not die of old age or battle; he died by a fever. The Greeks lived through many periods of time like the Dark Ages,the Mycenaean period, and the Classical period. There were a lot of cities the Greeks had such as Macedonia, Sparta, and Athens.Their main enemy was Persia. The Greeks had plenty of ideas which started lots of ideas for the modern days.

Hobbits

Hobbits are so little and they are fun to learn about. Hobbits like to stay in one little place salled "The Shire." Hobbits don't like to leave their little homes to go on an adventure, but sometimes they do. There were extraordinary adventores witth two hobbits called Frodo and Bilbo. If you would like to know more about hobbits, look in the Prologue of Lord of the Rings.

Swimming in Memory

Once in my life, I went to a swimming pool. I got a lot of lessons about swimming and I think that I could swim in a shallow part of the ocean (except that there are sharks in the ocean). I learned how to swim in pools that I could not walk in. And in the end, I got a paper that said, "Certificate of Participation," so I know I am a winner.

Ancient Egypt

Egypt was a great civilization. Ancient Egyptians built gigantic statues. They made plenty of humongous burial places for pharaohs called "pyramids." But there are many facts most people don't know about the life in ancient Egypt.

You should know that there were different rules about how to behave in ancient Egypt than today.  Parents gave their babies fried mice to teethe on.  There were rules for eating in ancient Egypt such as, "Don't stare at your food."

Most of Egypt was desert.  This is where hidden tombs were.  Next to the Nile River, where they harvested in spring, the land was black.  They called that place the "black land."   They grew barley and wheat as well as vegetables like beans, onions, and lettuce and fruits like figs, grapes and dates.  The ancient Egyptians were able to make a civilization to remember.

One day,I was growing pumpkins. I was going to make the biggest pumpkins ever! Then when I fell asleep, squirrels came,and ate 4 pumpkins and spared 1.When I awoke,I saw only 1 pumpkin left and I was broken-hearted. I got some water for the pumpkin still sad,but little did I know was that THAT pumpkin was controled by a vilinus germ called Bikinman.

I kept on doing a cycle that I didn't know about. It went like thisl:every drop of water I gave the pumpkin the more steam it gave to the robot that was inside it! One day I went outside to water the pumpkin as usual.Then a blinding flash came on my eyes. When the flash was gone,I saw a giant pumpkin that was now carved and was a jack-o-lantern! And then it got iron arms and legs!And so, the adventure began!

The jack-o-lantern looked like a head with arms and legs on it,gross with a capital G. I saw it destroy 39 blocks,but I coudn't do anything about it. The Police Staton was crushed. Then Ampanman the Superhero and his partners Miss Mampanman,Breadman,and Walnutman destroyed the jack-o-lantern and scared away Bikinman only to make Bikinman make a new plan. What plan was Bikinman going to do? Find out next time.

Super Elf Episode I

Super Elf began as a plain old guy,and when I say "Old", I mean old. He one day,went for a walk to keep in shape, and it seemed like a regular day. When no one was around,(except for Super Elf)a light flashed. Then,when the light died down,Super Elf saw a belt! When he was about to examine it,it seemed to move in the volcano!(Which is what it did.)He went in the volcano to get it (I know it was stupid,but it's part of the story). He saw it was near the bottom,so he couldn't jump down,so he dicided to climb,but he was too old(he was 75 years old to be exact).He saw there was a kind of stairs of rocks.(amazing how this thing happends right?)Of course he remembered the scientist said that the volcano was going to erupt very soon,but first of all he did not belive anything mind you ANYTHING that scientist said and second of all he was a daring old man. He went down and when he was going down,that is another story. When he went down all the way,he saw the belt and put it on and felt difirent somehow.He looked at himself in a miror he always caried with him and saw him-self look yonger (look 50 years yonger to be spasific). He thought he was in a story like "The Pictirue of Dorian Gray"but he was not in a story (I am just TELLING his tale).He heard a big sound and let me tell you "big"does not come close to say how big it was. He knew if he was the age of 75,he would defently die,but he was 25 years old so he might get out.So he ran 2 miles an hour to get out. He saw the lava some-times go ahead of him,so he jumped at those times.Well,to make a long story short, he got out and when-ever he takes the belt off he becomes old again.

Super Elf and the Dragon

Once upon a time in Iceland, there were two heroes named Super Elf and Amazing Emperor. They saw a lion 60,142 meters tall named Dragon. It used its magical powers to make the sun so scorching hot that the crops died. Its evil, destructive, one-eyed face showed that it wanted to take over the world.

Super Elf and Amazing Emperor flew to a volcano where Dragon was planning its next evil move. Super Elf shot fire from his middle finger, but Dragon dodged it. Super Elf got out his sword, but Dragon burned it with boiling hot fire from its mouth. Amazing Emperor was thinking hard. Amazing Emperor decided to send the magic lightning from the dark clouds on Dragon, so they did. Dragon was hurt, but he wasn't hurt by the power of the lightning, he was paralyzed. Suddenly, there was a rumble. The volcano was going to erupt! Elf and Emperor escaped, but not Dragon. Elf and Emperor were praised all over the world!

The House of the Sixty Fathers

The story of "House of Sixty Fathers" takes place in World War II.This is a story about a boy named Tien Pao.He saw one day water buffalows. One of them drove out the stake from the ground. Tien Pao was washed away by the current to the Japanese territory.

Tien Pao was brave which is one of the reasons I liked the book. He was brave to come in the mountains where the Japanese. He was also brave to warn Liutenant Hamsun.

He was also hopeful in the book. He took the little hope to wait at a rock and look for his family in an airplane.

Do you think he'll find his parents? Read the book and find out.

Gladys and the Mandarin

Gladys Aylward and the Mandarin have many differences. They both are kind, but they do have differences. They both have a lot of similarities.

There are many things that are that are the same. They both loved China. They tried to defend China. They both accepted Christ. They helped feed 100 children. They both were buried in China.

There are many differences also. The Mandarin was a ruler and Gladys was not. Gladys was a missionary and helped 100 children across the mountian to Sian. She was a "Storyteller"and the Mandarin was not. Gladys stopped a riot in the prison and later became a grandmother.

I think they both helped in God's plan. The Mandarin gave the children food for their journey. Gladys helped the children get across the rocky and rough mountains. This story was from These Are My People. And I think that you can help China, too, with God's help.

Argentina is a good place to visit because you can see many interesting things there.

Magellanic penguins live on the Valdes Peninsula of Argentina. There are more cattle than people in Argentina (there are 38,000,000 people in Argentina, and 54,000,000 cattle).

An everyday drink is yerba mate. The tango is a very famous dance. In 1403, Thomas Bravlio Platero became the first public clerk of Buenos Aires. Gypsy women live in Argentina. You can tell who's a Gypsy and who's not by the dress.

Argentines love meat including beef. They like rodeos. Argentina is a nice place to visit.

Slovenia

Slovenia is a country full of amazing things. Slovenia has weasels in its National park. The Lipizzaner horse is born dark brown or black, and turns white when it is eight. The cave Salamander (which is a long and gray thing which has a alligator like head and has two legs and the other two look like they were cut off) lives in limestone regions.

Cultivating vines and making wine is an important part of the Slovenian economy. Pork meats, such as ham and sausages, are eaten all over Slovenia. Also thanks to the mild climate, many kinds of fruit are grown. Many kinds of fish and bread are eaten a lot in Slovenia. They also eat stuff like potica. Potica is the favorite sweet dish in Slovenia. Wild goats roam in the high mountain slopes. Peppers are grown in Slovenia.

Slovenia have boat races. Slovenia have bears, lynxes, and wolves. In Slovenia, there is a cave called Skocjan. Slovenia's elementary school takes nine years to graduate!

How to Make Pizza

Dear blog reader,

Thank you for coming to my blog. Now I want to tell you how to make pizza. You will need cheese, pizza sauce, water, a whisk, seven cups of water, 18 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of salt, butter, and an oven.

First, put water in and put enough yeast to cover the top. Let it sit for five minutes. Next, put all dry ingredients inside a pot. You will need to add the water and mix together with the whisk. Then let it sit for fifteen minutes. Take it out and roll some flat in some flour.

Finally, get a greased pan and put the pizza in it. Put on it the sauce, cheese, toppings (like pepperoni and peppers). Then, bake it at 350 until it's done.

You will like this easy to bake pizza, and I will guarantee that you will have a great first time pizza. And I'm sure your kids will love it.

Sincerely,
Elf

God's World

Male seahorses and seadragons give birth to babies. They are also very good camouflagers. Seadragons look exactly like their background. Seahorses eat zooplankton. There is also a pipefish that is as thin as a pencil. God has made a very amazing world for us.

Trip to Florida

Mom was going to take me (and my other brothers) to Florida! We put lots of food and water for the cat (Mopsey).We drove in the car to the airport.When we where waiting for our plane,it seemed forever to me.Finally it was time for us to go to Florida.I couden't wait to get there!

Then I flew on an airplane! I played my gameboy sometimes. I saw lots of clouds and buildings down below. I flew for days and days. Finally the airplane stopped and we were in Florida! We saw lots of thinkgs in Florida. We went to a disgusting ride and some others. The disgusting ride (it wasn't a ride) that made water all over us like spit. The other one was the Buzz Lightyear ride. We went on a cart ride, too.

Then I saw a house and the people who owned it were Grandpa and Nana! I went to greet them. They were kind and happy to see us. I went to a water sprinkler, thut their were too much horseflies that we left earlier. We stayed for about three weeks. We saw many things in Florida. We stayed in Grandpa's and Nana's house.

One day I was looking outside and thinking about going to first grade. Then it was time to go home. We waved to Grandpa and Nana and went home. It seemed shorter going home than going to Florida. Although I was sad to leave Florida. I was happy to go home and go to first grade.
