Valentiny 2020- A Valentine's Day Mystery

A Valentine's Day Mystery




On Valentine's day when I got to school 

I saw a card on my desk- it looked cool.

I wonder who left it. Who could it be?

I have a Valentine made just for me.

Couldn't be Skunk- it smells fragrant and sweet

Couldn't be Dog, the handwriting's too neat.

Couldn't be Cat- glitter scares her

Maybe Badger- here is some fur.

Its grey and its black 

and glued to the back.

Happy Valentine's day to you it said,

From your special friend. Written all in red.

I can't wait to find out who it can be

The wait is practically killing me. 

My classmates come in one by one

From outside play and having fun

Who could be my special friend?

Maybe I should think again.

All my friends are special, true

Could my special friend, be you?

Badger came up- her face blushed pink 

Do you like it? What do you think?

I think its great and you are too.

Happy Valentine’s to you.

    I love all the animals playing a part in your story and the fact she can discount some as the Valentine based on their traits. Good luck in the contest.

Little Acorn

Little Acorn Acorn was playing in the soft green grass when something bumped her head. Looking up, Acorn noticed that there were leaves falling from every tree.  Red, orange, yellow and green leaves gently fell.  While she watched, another bonked her nose.  Acorn felt afraid.  “The leaves are falling! The leaves are falling,” She screamed, as she ran home. Mother Squirrel sat on the porch, sipping tea.  “Mother, Mother, the leaves are falling.” Acorn yelled, flying up the steps. “Yes, I know it's Autumn.” Mother said, blowing at her brew. “Go play. Soon the weather will turn cold.” Acorn skipped back down the path.  As she stepped off onto the grass, she heard an unusual sound.  Crunch Crunch. “What is that sound?” There was only one explanation, “The ground is breaking, the ground is breaking!” Acorn screamed, running back towards home. Mom was still sipping her tea. “The ground is breaking! The ground is breaking!” Acorn yelled.

Jack O'Who?

"You’re too chicken to do it,” Sean sneered. The harvest moon shone bright on the two boys.     “I am not.” Jack paused. “Give it here.”   “Remember, you gotta leave it on long enough for me to take lots of good pictures.” Jack rolled his eyes and sighed, “Yeah, Yeah, I know.   Just hand it here.   I can’t believe I lost a stupid bet to you.” Sean picked up a giant pumpkin, “Here you go.” The hole was just big enough for a head to squeeze through. Jack looked hilarious. He peered through the carved-out eyes.   “Hurry so I can get out of here.   Pumpkin guts stink.” Sean took several photos, making sure to try all different angles.   “Alright, that’s enough, help me out.” Jack started tearing at the pumpkin. “Really dude! Help me!” his voice filled with panic. Sean set down the camera and started assisting.   “This isn’t funny man. Get it off.” “I’m trying.” Sean yelled, fear resonating in his voice. They struggled and tugged, yanked, and pulled to no
