Leprechauns, Leprechauns, Come to Me!


Today I invented a leprechaun trap. I painted a bottle green and glued it on a green piece of paper. I cut the bottom of the bottle and made it like a door. Behind the bottle, I created a paper rainbow. Then I made a couple signs, one said "Do NOT Enter!" and the other said, "AC's Gold!". After that, I put a cobblestone path that leads to the chamber. I put gold chunks in the back of the bottle so the leprechauns will go in and try to take the gold chunks. I really liked the craft.

A Dog's Life (Chapters 3 & 4)

Chapter 3: The Pound

They found the dogs! They thought of a plan very quickly. The plan was to bite through the cages so that all the dogs could get loose. So they bit through the cages so that all the dogs could get loose and all of them wanted to be in the pack. Ten dog cages with one dog in each cage and all of them joined the pack. Smudge, Skout, Rascal, Abby, Anna, Milly, Buddy, Luky, Mimi and Lady joined the pack.



Chapter 4: Making a Pack for All

"Willy, we need a camp", Abby barked.

'Okay", Willy barked back. So they went to the forest and dug a nice, big fort.

"Next, we need stuff in it", Amy inspected. So they found moss and made beds. They also used moss to make a sack for their prey. Then they put moss around the top so it could be like a welcoming mat.

Then everyone snuggled in for the night.

A Dog's Life (Chapter 2)

Hello, again. I am going to share Chapter 2 now.

Chapter 2: The City

The dogs crossed the border of the city and found a big box. So, they slept in it. When they woke up, they were hungry. So, they looked for food and spotted the dump. 

"Let's eat!", Lily said.

"Wait!", yelled Willy. He sniffed the garbage and ate some.

"Hey!", Lily barked and jumped on him. "Eat!", Lily barked and jumped on Willy again.

Finally, Lily stopped and Willy got up and ran to the pack. Lily ran to the garbage and ate some and then went to the pack.  "Let's go", Amy barked.

"knock, knock", Willy barked.

"Not now", Amy barked back.

"Who's there?", asked Sami.

"Amy, Me, Lily and you!", Willy barked back. The entire pack laughed. They made so much noise that a little furry dog from the pound heard them and came running towards them.

When he got there, Sami asked, "What's your name?".

"I am 'Indie'", Indie barked.

"Hiya Indie.", Amy barked.

"Hi. The dogs from the pound need your help. Follow me, please, to help the dogs.", barked Indie.

"Okay!", the pack barked and followed Indie. When they got to the pound, they found a hole and slipped through the hole.

The Dog's Life (Chapter 1)

Hello. I  wanted to show you this story I made. It's called The Dog's Life. I am only going to show you Chapter 1 today.

Chapter 1: The Dogs' Escape

One day there was a dog named, Willy, and he wanted to escape. So, he talked to the next door neighbor. Her name was Lily.

"Lily, do you want to escape?"

"Yes", Lily said slowly, "Why?"

"Because I want to escape too", Willy barked.  

"There's dirt on the ground", Lily suggested. "Can you dig?"

"Yeah", Willy said. "Why?"

"Because I dig in the dirt too much and my owner cut my nails", Lily said sadly.

"Okay?" Willy said.

"My friend wants to escape. Can she come?", Lily asked. 

There was a long wait and finally he said, "Yes. So, I'll start digging and you go tell her." So, they did what they planned.

"Amy!", Lily called.

"Yes!", a little voice called back. 

"Amy?", Lily asked. " Do you want to join me and Willy to escape?"

"YES!", Amy barked.

Lily ran back to Willy who had dug his way to Amy's yard. "Come on!", Lily said. "Can you dig more?"

"Yes", Willy moaned. Willy dug a hole in the yard and Amy ran into it and out of it.

Amy shook dirt off of her coat. "HEY!", yelled Lily. "Don't splatter dirt on me."

"Sorry", Amy said. She was half sorry and half laughing. Willy also laughed, but louder. 

Just then a poodle ran to the hole and yelled, "Amy, let me come, please, Amy!"

"Yes, you can come", Amy yelled back. So the poodle ran through.

"Hide!" Lily barked. "We can get through the gate when the owner is  doing the garbage.

"Good idea!", barked Sami, who was the poodle. So they hid while an owner threw out the garbage. They ran out through the gate. Amy's ears flew straight up when she jumped.

"We all got through, right?", Sami panted out.

"yeah", Lily barked. "Come on, the owners can still get us."

"Owners can get us wherever we go.", Amy pointed out loudly.

"Let's go", Sami barked, "Before the owners get us." So the group of dogs left.

When the sun set, they were at the city line.

"I'm sleepy", Amy yelled.
