The Egg and the Bacon

Hey everyone! Here is another story that I wrote called The Egg and the Bacon:)

Once there was an egg and a bacon. The egg and the bacon were always cold since they were always in the refrigerator, so they never felt any warmth in their hearts. One day when the eggs were playing hopscotch and the bacon were playing jump rope someone pulled the egg and the bacon with a few of their friends out and put the eggs in hot water. The person put the bacon on a plate and put them in the microwave. After they were cooked the person took them out and cracked the eggs shells. Then they put them on a table and they were grabbed. The bacon and the egg never felt dread like they did when they saw their friends get chewed up into pieces. And then they saw hands grabbing at them and they wanted to run but couldn't. Just before they got eaten, they saw the blueberry babies getting taken out and put on the table. The people put the egg and bacon down immediately and grabbed as many blueberry babies as they could hold, and shoved them into their mouths. The egg and the bacon tried to escape and just as they had jumped off the table the people tried to grab them.

The mother cried out "your bacon and egg fell, now we have to throw them away."
The mother cooped the egg and bacon up and threw them into the garbage can. They noticed a few others ended up in that sad, lonely place. For a while they chatted but realized more trouble was yet to come. The father took the garbage bag outside and they tossed and turned. He threw them into the big trash can and they waited. What adventures they were having! A big garbage truck came around and the egg and the bacon knew this was their chance to escape. they got up and just as the man picked up the garbage bag, they jumped. they landed on the sidewalk and the egg was glad he was boiled. They ran and ran until their little feet couldn't run anymore. They found an old abandoned house and they went inside. This was a wonderful place to stay! So they decided to stay there for the rest of their lives. They lived unhappily ever after (because after a while the bacon and egg got into a fight)

    French

    I am learning how to speak in french in my school. Now I know English, Spanish, and French. It's kind of hard to remember how to pronounce the words but I'm getting the hang of it. I know how to say the alphabet in french and I can count to twelve. I also know other things, like how to say mom, boy, sister, starnge, ball, silly, brothers, weeds, I don't know, and more things. I think it's really fun learning a new language it's so cool!!!!

    Autumn

    What's your favorite season? I love Autumn also known as fall. Autumn has a nice chilly breeze and leaves are falling. I was riding my bike today and I went pretty slow because I just loved how it looked. To me it was the most beautiful thing EVER! When I think of Autumn I think of soccer, not soccer practice though (which I do not like) soccer games. They are really fun and Autumn is just so spectacular I don't even know what to say. I love our decorations for Halloween to. My birthday is also in the Autumn which is cool. Most people would think that I only like the fall because of my birthday. But that's not true because I love evrything about it, the nice chilly breeze, the beautiful landscape, and the decorations.

    Post a comment on your favorite season and why!

    (Setting a beautiful garden with lots of flowers)

    (Princess Ava walks in with Princess Sandra)

    Ava: Oh Sandra what am I to do?

    Sandra: What do you mean fair sister?

    Ava: Our father the king told me to go to town and get a dozen carrots.

    Sandra: And what is wrong with that?

    Ava: Well Sandra my dear sister, he asked me to go, and I do not know why. He could have sent a servant to go but he asked me instead.

    Sandra: Well maybe it was something between you and him.

    Ava: But what if it was? Then I have told you and I have ruined his plan.

    Sandra: Well not completely.

    Ava: But it was have been something important or he would have sent one of our servants to do so.

    Sandra: Well I won't say a word.

    Ava: Thank you.

    (Princess Ava and Princess Sandra leave)

    Scene 2

    (Princess Ava enters with a dozen carrots to the king)

    (Two knights are standing silently by him)

    Ava: Father I have brought you your carrots. But would it be all right to ask why?

    King: Fair daughter I have my secrets and they should be kept that way.

    Ava: Oh just give me a clue, father.

    Knight 1: The king has important things to take care of.

    King: It's all right, all right then, it is a special stew that will be prepared and it needs a dozen carrots.

    Ava: But what kind of clue is that? It doesn't explain anything.

    King: Maybe not. But that means that my secret remains secret.

    Knight 2: That will be all, Princess Ava.

    (Princess Ava leaves grumbling with the two knights shooing her away)

    Scene 3

    (Ava is siting in her room, on her bed when Sandra comes in)

    Ava: The hint didn't change anything!

    (Ava angrily throws stuffed animals off the bed and at Sandra)

    Sandra: What hint?

    Ava: Father told me a hint about the dozen carrots.

    Sandra: Well what was it?


    Ava: he said: "it is a special stew that will be prepared, and it needs a dozen carrots" but that doesn't change anything.

    Sandra: That explains everything! Here come with me.

    (Sandra and Ava leave)

    Scene 4

    (Ava and Sandra are in the garden)

    Ava: What are we doing here?

    Sandra: You'll see.

    (Sandra walks around until she finds what she's looking for, then she gets up and goes to Ava)

    Sandra: Come right over here.......

    (Ava follows Sandra to a little patch of seeds)

    Ava: Why is this important?

    Sandra: It's important because the seeds are not growing, but when father pours the stew of a dozen carrots in it will be taller than him.

    Ava: Why does it matter?

    Sandra: Because these seeds are the seeds of growth.

    Scene 5

    (Ava is following Sandra back inside)

    Ava: I don't get it, what are the seeds of growth?

    (Sandra stops and turns around)

    Sandra: The seeds of growth make the kingdom grow the people are alive because of them. We have food because of those tiny seeds, but don't breathe a word o anyone even father. It is because only father knew about them and he kept his kingdom alive because of them.

    Ava: Why didn't he tell anyone else? And how do you know?

    Sandra: If he told someone, word would get out and then people from all over the world would be begging for them. But the problem is he only got a small amount and if he has to he'll journey back to where they got them. But I know because I learned about them and I didn't know that it was real until now.

    Ava: I'll keep the secret.

    Sandra: Good now how about some tea?

    Ava: I'd be delighted.

    (Ava and Sandra hook arms and leave)
