Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner



Oh, boy!

Little Willy was with his grandfather. One day, as the story took place in grandfather's house-barn, grandfather didn't want to get up from bed. He was staying stock still.

Little Willy called the doctor. She came and well, she said "Well, he wants to die." But Little Willy said "oh, no, no, no, he's not going to die!"

An old man came up and said "taxes-we need your taxes." Then in the strong box was all the taxes: $500! I think that was too much!

Willy was headstrong so he wanted grandfather to get better then he wanted to go in a dog race. And then this Indian came up. He never lost before.

In the middle of it-10 feet away from the finish line-then the dog DIED! The Indian made a line and said "anyone who crossed the line he would shoot." Willy won all with the help of an Indian.

Wasn't that a sad ending? Oh, I forgot one thing: the grandfather gets better.

The Chocolate Touch



I read at school The Golden Touch. It was really, really, really, COOL because all his things turned to gold and then he said I didn't want that. A substitute told me a story the chocolate touch where the boy turns his mom into chocolate because of a magic chocolate. Then I got to read it at home with Mommy.

I really thought it was scary because he got into all this big trouble at school.
