Dear caseworker...

Dear caseworker,
I just want to tell you about the Amoses.  They are cruel and I had to sleep in a shed!
And their son, Toddy, He stuck a pencil up my nose and got it up to the R!  When Toddy did that, I bopped him in the face, So he pretended his asthma was acting up and when Mrs.Amos led me to the shed his asthma magically disappeared! He is such a liar.
They were so terrible I thought about shooting them.
Mrs.Amos will believe ANYTHING Toddy says.
The excuse he used to not get in trouble when he put the pencil up my nose was I was about to wet the bed. Mrs.Amos hates bed-wetters.
While in the shed, I thought I saw a vampire bat. I whacked it with a rake and it cracked in half.
It turned out that it was a nest of hornets. I escaped with stings all over me.
I ran away and that's how I ended up here.

Sincerely, Bud

When I Grow Up

When I grow up I would like to be a scientist. I want to because I can find new cures for cancer. I would also like to because I could create chemical reactions. Another reason is that I would earn lots of money. I would have an awesome lab to create and mix substances.
I would also like to be a cook. I would like to because I like food. I love cooking. Sometimes I help my mom cook dinner. I like the smell of food while it is cooking.
Finally I would like to be in the military. I would like to because I would know I would be helping the country help other coutries gain strength. My dad was in the marines and I want to be too. Also, I could be a sniper.

Chapter 16: The Fire!

It was just a normal day at first, I got up, I brushed my teeth, I got dressed, And I ate breakfast.
I was just watching cartoons when Momma came running and screaming into the room.
Fire!Fire!Fire! She screamed. What's wrong Momma? Byron asked. She didn't Answer, She just kept
screaming, Fire!Fire!Fire! She must be going crazy, I thought she was going crazy! I went back to my room and I saw a red light leaking from my closet, then it burst into flames!
I screamed! I nearly got scorched!  I ran out of my room, went to the bathroom, got water from the sink, and poured it on the fire. The fire didn't go out. I tried smothering the flames with my clothes, It didn't work! I gave up. I went downstairs and called 9-1-1 I waited, and waited, and waited. seconds felt like minutes, and minutes felt like hours. I finally heard the sirens of a firetruck!
I was relived! I was waiting in the grass with the pets, By, Momma, and Dad. Before we knew it, people
with hoses were rushing past us. We heard the SSSSSSsssssssssss of flames being put out.
Every body was happy, including the pets.
