The Magic Stone

Once upon a time, there lived a small, poor boy called Zane. His house was a pile of sticks and leaves and every night he had to sleep on the rough grass. The boys at his school teased and laughed at him, leaving him broken in tears. "I don't like this life," he muttered to himself one night, his back aching. As he finally got to sleep, a storm rumbled, waking him up with fright.

The thunder rolled and boomed in the sky, while the lightning hit the ground. Zane rolled up his thin, scratchy blanket and ran away. He ran like a cheetah through the pouring rain, his jacket flying out behind him. He tripped over a stone and fell down. Then, his world was enveloped by darkness.

Once he woke up, he realized he was in a wood. Birds chirped cheerfully and bounded off from their nests. Foxes prowled around the trees, sneaking carefully, looking for prey to consume. Wolves howled in the distance, their cries heard all over the forest. Suddenly, his friend, Michael, was looking at him. Zane said, "How did you arrive here?" He replied, Ï was teleported here, away from my home."

The boy glanced at him sadly, his hands fiddling with a stick. "I was sleeping when" and the rest was cut off once they were tumbling down a hole. Zane, surprised, reached for Michael with his arms. "WATCH OUT!" Michael cried frantically, his hands waving hurriedly. Zane looked up and saw a great stone above his head.

As soon as they landed onto a dusty floor, Zane quickly dodged out of the rock's way. The rock finally landed beside him. "Phew," Zane panted, wiping his forehead with relief. "That was close." The enormous stone started to crack open, the crack splitting the rock into halves. A colorful pebble appeared at the base of the rock, swirling with vivid colors.

"Cool!" Michael cried. His hands started to reach for the vivid pebble. Zane suddenly snatched the pebble away from his grip. He thought that he could wish them back home. Please send us back home, he thought. The world swirled with colors.

Zane saw a beautiful house ahead of him. He ran into it, his heart pounding with joy. He saw his parents standing there, smiling. His mother said, "There were two builders. They told us we had a son that was very helpful. For example, he helped a friend with his feelings and thoughts." His mother hugged him, her eyes full of happy tears. This shows us that sometimes helping others and being kind will help our world thrive.

Character descriptive paragraph: My brother

My brother walked into the house, his feet heard padding around the room. When he saw the present lying near his feet, his eyes gleamed, like the sun on a bright summer day. He lunged at it, his hands a blur, his jet black hair sparkling with sweat. He tore the wrapper, leaving only the neglected scraps to fall gently onto the wooden floor. "Hooray!" he cried, holding it out in the light, his feet jumping up and down in excitement. As fast as a cheetah, he sprinted up the stairs to show his grandparents this newly found toy. My parents smiled and I returned it. I had never seen him so joyous.                                                                                                                  ...
