Dear Rylie and Ryann,
I had a big problem last night. I was walking to my friend’s house. On the way there I tripped over something, it was the leg of a bench. I was only a few yards from my friend’s house, so I yelled. Her mom came outside and helped me up. She took me to the doctor’s office, and found out that my leg was broken. Now I will never walk in the dark again.
Love,
Leg Hurts
Have you ever been to a place called Furr’s Buffet? Today I went there. If you haven’t been, then let me tell you about it. There are lots of foods that you could choose from. Like mexican, to american, salads, fruit, a grill and my favorite station, the dessert bar. There are many types of questions to answer in your mind about the foods. Like if you shoud get the chicken or the fish. Or, pie or fruit for dessert. There are lots of choices, here are some recommendations for you so that you know what to eat. Like if you don’t like hard chicken then you should not get the chicken fingers. Or if you don’t like soggy croutons, then you shouldn’t get the ceaser salad put together already. You should make the salad yourself. Do you only eat fresh food? Then go ahead don’t be shy, go to the grill and ask for some steak or chicken or sometimes even ham. Be careful! Be careful because sometimes you may be allergic to something. Like coconuts, so don’t get the Cocanut Shrimp. Here are my recommendations for foods that you should eat: the macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, or grilled chicken. Don’t ever forget the dessert bar! That is my favorite part. There are all sorts of desserts to choose from. Like cupcakes, cobblers, cakes, cookies, brownies, and pies! Don’t let your hopes down yet. There is also ice cream with lots of toppings. Go sometime and try it for yourself.
You should try it,
Rylie

A Maryland Tall Tale
retold by
S. E. Schlosser
There is an old tale which claims that at midnight, on Christmas Eve, the cattle will kneel in the barn and speak with one another. Once an old Maryland man decided to test the tale by hiding in the barn at midnight to listen. So he climbed a rope to the window in the hayloft. He lay down on the rough gray boards, covered himself with hay and waited.
Around midnight, he saw all the cows in the barn kneel. At first he could not make out any words, but then, he heard the cow underneath his hiding place say to its neighbor: “I am afraid our poor old master will not live out the year.”
“Oh dear,” exclaimed her neighbor. “What a pity.”
The old man was so frightened by the cow’s words that he hurried over to the window, wanting to get away from the barn as fast as he could. But his sweating fingers slipped on the rope and he fell to the ground, broke his neck, and died.
Since then, the people in Maryland have never eavesdropped on the cattle at midnight on Christmas Eve.

Maine Tall Tales
retold by
S. E. Schlosser
Now I hear tell that Paul Bunyan was born in Bangor, Maine. It took five giant storks to deliver Paul to his parents. His first bed was a lumber wagon pulled by a team of horses. His father had to drive the wagon up to the top of Maine and back whenever he wanted to rock the baby to sleep.
As a newborn, Paul Bunyan could hollar so loud he scared all the fish out of the rivers and streams. All the local frogs started wearing earmuffs so they wouldn’t go deaf when Paul screamed for his breakfast. His parents had to milk two dozen cows morning and night to keep his milk bottle full and his mother had to feed him ten barrels of porrige every two hours to keep his stomach from rumbling and knocking the house down.
Within a week of his birth, Paul Bunyan could fit into his father’s clothes. After three weeks, Paul rolled around so much during his nap that he destroyed four square miles of prime timberland. His parents were at their wits’ end! They decided to build him a raft and floated it off the coast of Maine. When Paul turned over, it caused a 75 foot tidal wave in the Bay of Fundy. They had to send the British Navy over to Maine to wake him up. The sailors fired every canon they had in the fleet for seven hours straight before Paul Bunyan woke from his nap! When he stepped off the raft, Paul accidentally sank four war ships and he had to scramble around sccooping sailors out of the water before they drowned.
After this incident, Paul’s parents decided the East was just too plumb small for him, and so the family moved to Minnesota.
