(SOKE STORIES AND POEMS ABOUT THE SEA)

A S W I M IN THE OCEAN ® “ ~ BY SAM KITAKJxi^ One day w h e n m y mom, Dad, m y bro t h e r and I were going scuba diving, we saw a sunken ship. We went the ship and looked in a room. We saw lots of bottles, so we took some of them. Then we w e n t to our boat and put the bottles in a drawer. W h e n we w e n t back into the water, we saw a lot of n e a t fish. Su d d e n l y an octopus gra b b e d m y moml Dad told me to go get the spears in the boat. I g o t them and gave two to m y dad, one to m y brother, and k e p t one for myself. Dad t h rew both of his spears, m y brothe threw his spear, and I threw mine. The o ctopus died and Mom got away. So we w e n t to the boat and w e n t home.

THINGS U N D E R WATER B Y GREG GALLO Under the w a t e r of the sea You can find things like crabs, Lobsters,

sharks,

fishes,

eeels,

and mermaids,

And are the m e r m a i d s pretty?

O O too.

Wo-Wo-Wo!

There are places where

the ground is deep,

If an animal gets hurt,

it starts to weep.

MY SCUBA DIVING LES S O N BY STEVE WEI B E L ^

One day I met a scuba diving teacher. I asked him to teach me h o w to scuba dive. He said sure. So the n ext day we w ent out on a b oat and he showed me how to put the div i n g suit on. Then we dove into the water. Splash 1 We swam d own deep. There w a s a cave and we w e n t in. It was p i t c h black in the cave. We k e p t on swimming. It started ta get lig h t e r and lighter. Su d d e n l y two fish m e n grabbed us and took us f a r t h e r back in the cave u n til we came to a castle 1 I c ouxin't believe m y eyes. Then all of a sudden we w ere face to face w i t h the kin^. He was nice and we became friends. He let u s go back to the boat. ‘ That was the b i g g e s t a d v enture I ever had! And at lea s t every y e a r I go back and visit them.

James Marshall discovered gold in the American River by accident! Marshall said, "Monday night, I was walking towards the head of the ditch and saw that it was not very deep. I turned the water into it from the river. The next morning I shut off the water and walked along beside the millrace to see if the water had cleaned it out. My eye was caught by the glimpse of light in the bottom of the ditch. I bent down to see what it was. I picked it up, for I was certain it was gold. I told the other men.

"We decided to keep it a secret, but the news spread around."

Joe Jefferson was hanged Feb. 2 for the murder of Time Tones. His three accusers were Lighthead Lou, Two Fist Stroke, and Ken Kennal. They claim they saw Joe murder Tim Jan 14 in back of the Hangtown Saloon after a party there. Joe's friends told the sheriff that Lou, Streke, and Ken had been trying to jump Joe's claim because it is rich. The sheriff is accusing Lou, Streke* and Ken for murdering Tim • ^<icVielle Lyons

One miner that never made it was Hiram Pierce. This is a part of his diary:

Last Tuesday, Mr. White was gambling against Blue Meany, the meanest gambler in town. Mr. White picked up his money to take it home when Blue Meany, in a ,mad fury, suddenly reached for Mr. White's neck and started to strangle him. Mr.White cursed and sputtered, dropped all his money, more than one million dollars, and disappeared in a cloud of greenishyellow smoke.

The strange story of Mr. White is more mys terious than the disap pearance of Slim Jim. ;For one thing, Mr.White seems to know the cards his opponents have when he gambles, and another thing is that he always seems to win all the money when he gambles!

The small Royce family of three had many troubles on their way to the gold fields. First, they spent a month traveling through bad weather, so that it made it hard to cook. Then, Indians demanded money for crossing their land. The settlers had no money so they armed themselves with guns, knives, and hatchets. They were about to start a fight when, at the last minute, the Indians let them through. Their wheels broke. The food was bad. But the Royces kept on chugging and they finally made it to the gold fields. Bv

Chines* fepor-h By special correspon dent, Ching Chang I am reporting from the Chinese District. These people feel that they have been treated very badly. Stanley Chong, who came all the way from China last year, reports that some Chinese men have been pushed off their claims illegally. He hopes the alcalde (sheriff) will do some thing about it.

(V S W v , The lives of the forty-niners are lonely, grubby, and very dirty. Their clothes are dirty and full of holes. Sometimes they have to stay in the same clothes until they have enough gold to buy new ones. Their work is hard. They stand in cold water all day. Their hands and toes get numb and they get tired. Some men die from accidents and some from cholera. Sometimes miners steal gold and get in fights. Some people come to the mines fat and rich and end up poor and skinny. Some people find a lot of gold, but others work for days and days but do not find any thing. There is a lot of gambling. Miners win gold and lose gold. The miners I saw live in shabby huts and tents. They miss their families in the States and in other countries far away. It is a hard life!

Thk OLD JVUNER There was an old miner who had twenty claims And he had all those claims under ten different names. But people thought he was really too old Even though he had mined tenthousand in gold. So one day he went and gambled in town. He won enough money tc buy him a crown. Right there on the last game of the day He lost so much money it'd make your head sway. Jo whenever you win a lot at the ^ame, It s a pretty good chance you'll lose it the same.

AN ESSAY ON MRS. PIGGLE WIGGLE Mrs. Piggle Wiggle was written by Betty MacDonald and was published in Philadelphia and New York by J.B. Lipnincott Company.

The publishing date was 1957.

Mrs. Piggle Wiggle is a humorous book which took place in a small town.

The story concerns a lady who helped

parents cure their children's bad habits. The main character was Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, who liked to help people.

Parents came to her for advice when they

had a problem with their children. For example,

She recommended a cure.

there was a radish cure.

The radish cure

concerned a little girl named Patsy who would not take a bath.

She was so dirty her mom went to Mrs. Piggle 7/iggle.

Mrs. Piggle Wiggle told Patsy's mother to put some radish 4

seeds on Patsy every night.

Patsy's mother did this, and

Patsy was so dirty that the seeds started to grow. From then on Patsy took a bath.

Betty MacDonald made the children seem like real people because they had real problems.

For example,

children might have problems trying to be mannerly orclean.

Mrs. Piggle Wiggle was there to try to cure

their very common place difficulties. Gari Tortorella THE DAY JOHN CADBERRY WAS HIRED TO BE A RACE CAR DRIVER IN THE GRAND PRIX It was the exciting day of the Grand Prix.

■TILLY'S NSW FRIENDS Two cats were walking to a certain place where there was a big apple tree. "'Why do we have to come under this apple tree?

The

one nearer to our home is good enough, isn't it?" argued Ginger. "So what! "'Wait!

I like walking, okay?" said Willy.

I smell something!" said Ginger.

"What?" answered Willy. "Another cat, silly," snapped Ginger. "Oh, 0h!

I smell a c a t . ..no..two cats," Willy said

in an excited voice. "Well, whatever you think, I smell THREE cats!" said Ginger.

"Let's go meet them." She ran off to find the cats

"Where are those cats?

Oh, there they are. Hi!

'./ho are you?" asked 'Willy. "I'm Frisky and that is Misty and..." "•What's that?" suddenly asked Willy. "That's a cat, silly.

His name is Kapi," snapped Frisky.

"Oh, sorry about that," said 'Willy. "It's okay.

Even dogs are scared of Kapi," said Misty.

"Well, I like that.

I was scared a n d .... "

"Oh, sorry about that," answered Misty. "You know, what I could probably do is invite you all for a snack or something," finished Willy. "We'd love that," said all the cats at once.

"Thanks

for inviting us." "You're welcome," said Willy. Then for a long time the four of them were good friends. Katrina Widrow

MORNING TRAIN ROCK IN PARADISE

Tanya Arthur THE MAGIC SHOE, One day I was in Arabia and saw some shoes.

I went

to the clerk and said, "How much are these shoes?" The clerk said, "They are $100."

I said, "Why so expensive?"

"They are magical,'" said the clerk. "Try them on for size."1 I tried them and said, "They fit!'"

Just as I was about to

tie my shoe string, the shoe string tied itself. "This is neat.

I said,

I ’ll buy them!"1 I paid and the lady said,

"If you take the shoes off, tie them somewhere so they can’t run away.'"

I remembered that, but when I took them off,

I forgot.

The next mornipg they were gone, so I looked, for

them.

I didn’t know that they were behind me all the time,

so I looked all around the house.

Finally the shoes

went "beep, beep",

when I picked them up, they

told me that they were scared'.

I remembered to

tie them up from then on. Conan Cheung

CLASS HISTORY

As the s i x t h g r a d e r s look back on t h e i r y ears at t h i s wonderful s c h o o l , they see some t h i n g s they would l i k e to remember,, Everyone was new and nervous in k i n d e r g a r t e n . Our t e a c h e r ' s name was Mrs. Lyman, but everyone c a l l e d her Mrs. Pieman. One o f the more memorable lunches t h at year was N a t a s h a ' s smooshed sandwich. In f i r s t grade we had M i s s Root as our t eacher. She wore these h a l f shade g l a s s e s r i g h t on the t i p o f her nose th at made her look cute. She was always p i n c h i n g your cheeks o r your chi n and s a y i n g , "Now people, do your w o r k ! " (remember th at Dan?) In the second grade most people remember s i n g i n g and p u t t i n g on many p l a y s . Pamela, Megan, and Karen came in the middle o f the year. Wes remembers v i v i d l y the time when M i s s Schwarz was g i v i n g a d i c t a t i o n ; she f e l l over a nearby lunchbox. Only Wes Laughed and M i s s Schwarz s a i d , " D o n ' t laugh, i t ' s NOT f u n n y . " Ron s ay s th at M i s s Schwarz was a very n i ce person, except when C h r i s t i a n S c h i l l i n g ki cked a hole in the w a l l . A l l in a l l i t was a g r e a t year. In the t h i r d grade, i f you asked to go to the bathroom, Mrs. Monnot would g i v e you d i a p e r s and a b o t t l e . But i t w a s n ' t a bad year because Mark came to j o i n our c l a s s . The hobby show th at we put on was g r e a t . We learned how to w r i t e c u r s i v e and i t was the t u r n i n g p oi n t in our s t u d i e s . In the f o u r t h grade, Whitney and C h r i s t i n a came to our school which became P h i l l i p s Brooks. During t h i s year we went on many i n t e r e s t i n g f i e l d t r i p s , but our t r i p to I n ve r ne ss was the g r e a t e s t . We made an e x c i t i n g movie c a l l e d " J e d e di a h S m i t h . " Our c l a s s made a r i v e r scene, but when we saw i t on f i l m i t was a l l overexposed! T ra g e d y ! ! We learned a l l about C a l i f o r n i a and b u i l t some t e r r i f i c missions,. The k i d s who came here in f i f t h grade were a l i t t l e nervous but Mrs. Westmoreland made them fee l at home. T h i n gs began to get tough, and her a d v i c e helped everybody p u l l through. We had s u r p r i s e p a r t i e s f o r a n y t h i n g we could t h i n k o f . The c l a s s was in " Rock Bottom, " a musi cal p l a y , which was g r e a t . Thank you, Mrs. W0! Mrs. A l t r o c c h i was ver y s t r i c t in s i x t h grade. She gave us more t e s t s than we would l i k e , e s p e c i a l l y in E n g l i s h . On one h i s t o r y t e s t we got some funny answers. One q u e s t i o n was: Def ine: M e l t i n g Pot. One answer: " t h e pot in which immigrants cooked t h e i r food." The f i e l d t r i p s th at year were e x c i t i n g . A few weeks a f t e r the b e g i n n i n g o f s c h o o l , we went to the L o ui se M. Davies Symphony H a l l . In the S p r i n g , we went on a boat that took us out i nt o the San Fran c i s c o Bay. Near the end o f the year, we went to Sacramento to see the Cap i t o l . We would l i k e to thank a l l the teachers from Stan Drake to Mrs. Coberly f o r t h e i r help and ki ndness throughout our school y e a r s ; and Mr. Towner and Mrs. Root who l ent a paw in math and in making t h i s school the best one there ever could be.

S h e ' s the Cat You've Never Heard of Before As I hear the s o f t p i t t e r - p a t of her daint y fee t, I look up from my book. She g r a c e f u l l y leaps up on the couch, s t r e t c h i n g her limbs, and I hear the s o f t p u rr i ng o f a s a t i s f i e d f ri end. Q u i e t l y she c u r l s up c l o s e to me, ta ki ng a short nap on my lap; 1 gaze at her as her weary eyes c l o s e and her t a i l surrounds her body, t wi tchi ng s 1i g h t l y . Sl o wl y, she s t a r t s to l i c k her smooth fur with her tongue. Then, suddenl she s pots a f l y that buzzes by. She stops l i c k i n g h e r s e l f and s t ar e s un moving, as i f she i s a s t at u e. Her ears perk up, and her eyes are eager and f l a s h i n g . Her muscles r i p p l e , ready to pounce. She watches the f l y f l i t from one place to another, looking s l y l y at i t . F i n a l l y , she s e t t l e s down comfortably, as i f she had had a tiresome day. S o f t l y , she r es t s her head on my lap, not making a sound to d i s t u r b the peaceful s i l e n c e . I s i g h as she s l e e p i l y d r i f t s o f f , unaware that 1 have now turned my a t t e n t i o n back to my book. At times I glance q u i e t l y to see i f she i s comfortable. When I study her face, her green eyes seemed to plead to me, as i f to say something; her e x q u i s i t e whiskers waver as a flowing breeze passes through the ai r. She seems at peace, enjoyi ng l i f e , t r y i n g to express her f e e l i n g s . She is Jez ebe ll e, a " p e o p l e " cat . Pamela Hawley

I Remember.. .. One n i g h t I heard a noise downstairs. I went down to see i f anybody was down there. As I crept down the s t a i r s I heard the noise again. I t sounded l i k e a motor. I went down the dark hallway and looked around the corner to see i f anybody was there but nobody was there. I got very scared. I was so scared that I made a hi de- out o f p il l o w s . A l l o f a sudden the c lo c k turned red and two l i t t l e midgets came out of the c lo ck. They grabbed me and took me r i g h t through the clock and into t h e i r spaceship. I asked them where we were going. They s ai d , " M a r s . " Mars! 1 I y e l l e d . were al ready at Mars.

When we landed, they opened up the door with the s mal le st pin in the world. As I stepped out, I saw t i n y red people s t a r i n g at me. " I want to go home," I s a i d . Then the l i t t l e

red people s ai d , " W el l, yo u' re going to have to l i v e with

The c a r was g o i n g c l a n k , c l i n k , bounce, bump, and I was being t os s ed around my cage. Once in awh il e I saw some f a t , f i n g e r s s t i c k i n g in. Once I took my chances and b i t one. A f t e r that I d i d n ' t see them much anymore. W e l l , th at was a l l r i g h t because I was g e t t i n g s l e e p y , zzzzzz When I woke up I heard a v o i c e s a y i n g , "Shhh, l i t t l e g i r l , go back to sleep." I suspected i t was th at t a s t y hand a g a i n . I looked out o f the window and saw why I had woken up. We were t e e t e r - t o t t e r i n g on the s i d e o f a bridge. Suddenly we s t a r t e d g o i n g down (jown down. Blub, b l ub, water was s e e pi n g in through the window and I was f l o a t i n g in my cage. Suddenly I was grabbed out o f my cage and held t i g h t . (By t h i s time I was about up. to f r e a k o u t . ) The hand was p u l l i n g me up The hand had a l i f e p r e s e r v e r around her w a i s t . A l l o f a sudden, we were out o f the water and on a boat. I looked at the hand and i t was my owner. She mumbled something about being l a t e f o r a p a r t y but then looked at me and s a i d , “Oh! 0 h ! “ The c a p t a i n o f the boat gave us a ri de home and when I went in the door everybody was there s h o u t i n g , “S u r p r i s e !

I Remember When..............

I remember when Rebekah and I were g o i n g f o r a two week h i k i n g t r i p and a l l o f a sudden we heard a funny n o i s e . I t was not e x a c t l y funny, i t was more l i k e a s c a r y n o i s e . W e l l , we kept on w a l k i n g and as we walked we went f u r t h e r i n t o the woods. Rebekah and I thought about i t a l i t t l e more and we decided to b u i l d a s h e l t e r and s l e e p th ere f o r the n i g h t . I was about t o take a b i t e o f my sandwich when Rebekah y e l l e d to me; she t o l d me she heard the n o i s e a g a i n . Then we saw a purple o b j e c t in the air. A few minutes l a t e r some l i t t l e p urple men w i t h three mas si ve eyes came out o f the p ur pl e t h i n g . We were s t a r t l e d . One o f the men walked up to us and s a i d , " C a l l me J i m , " and he asked us i f we wanted to go w i t h them t o P urple Eye p l a n e t . We thought i t over f o r a w h il e and we decided to go. Rebekah asked how long i t would take to go there, s t a y th ere , and come back. Jim s a i d i t would take two days to get there and about a week to come back. Rebekah and I s a i d t h at would be p e r f e c t because we had to be back in two weeks. We got our s t u f f i n t o the p u rp l e t h i n g and we l e f t . The second day Jim was t e l l i n g us about P l a n et Blue Mouth, t h e i r enemy, and th at he saw some o f t h e i r Blue Mouth t h i n g s r i g h t next to us. He t o l d us to get i n t o our s e a t s and buckle up. There was a l i t t l e war and we f i n a l l y got to P ur pl e Eye. I t was b e a u t i f u l , but e v e r y t h i n g was p ur p le . He showed us where we were to s t a y . Then Jim showed us where we could have fun. The f i r s t t h i n g we d i d was a i r s k i i n g . You would ski in t h i s enormous a i r bubble. I t was g e t t i n g l a t e so we went f o r some d i n n e r at the P ur pl e Inn. It was d e l i c i o u s . I had Purp le- eyed peas and P ur pl e Mouth meat. Rebekah had the same t h i n g . Days went f a s t and f i n a l l y we got home. Aubin Crowell

A Day to Remember I remember that s e ve r al ye ar s ago, I was p l a y i n g wi th my cat when e v e r y t h i n g stopped dead. I threw a smal 1 brown rubber mouse and i t stopped in m i d - a i r . My cat and I j u s t s a t on the lawn t o t a l l y perplexed. I must have f a l l e n a s l e e p because I d o n ' t remember a n y th i n g u n t i l I found th at my cat and I were on a cold metal t a b l e in a b l ea k room. A door opened and in walked in a s i x - f o o t Rhode I s l a n d Red Chi cken! ! He s a i d to r e l a x and t r y to s t a y calm. My c a t awoke and went d a f t , l u ng i n g a t the t e r r i f i e d d o ct o r , t e a r i n g o f f a few red f e a t h e r s . The do cto r c a l l e d in the s e n t r y who zapped my cat wi th a Pecker ray. She dropped to the floor. We were taken to the Chickendent who s a i d we were on the pl anet Chi ckenot. For my c a t ' s b e ha v i o r , we would be thrown in Cholsom (TCHOL-some) Prison. At that I picked up my cat and ran. I remember c o l l a p s i n g and when I woke up; I was on Eart h. I t o l d my mother what had happened and she s a i d I was a s l e e p ; THANK GOODNESS! f\! Ron Carg i 1e

A M a g i c a l l y Beauti ful Winter Sometimes f a s t and f u r i o u s , sometimes s o f t and l i g h t as down, the enormous snowflakes f e l l r e l e n t l e s s l y from the leaden sky, s i l e n t l y burying the cabin ever deeper beneath i t s white mantle. As f a r as the eye could see from the f ro s t e d window, the v a l l e y was marshmallow topping. The trees looked l i k e i c i c l e s , and the lake was l i k e a mirror. The v a l l e y - w o r l d was s i l e n t , as i f a s l e e p i n g s p e l l was c a st upon i t , and the s t a r s shone l ike diamonds. As the sun came up, s p i d e r webs were decorated with dewdrops, and the snow was s p a r k l i n g as i t began to s of ten. The ice shone on the lake, while l i t t l e animals opened t h e i r wee eyes and scampered o f f into the h i l l s . Bi rds o f a l l kinds were f l y i n g , c h i r p i n g , or s i t t i n g comfortably in t hei r n es t s . The b i t t e r l y cold a i r had awakened everyone, even the mountain men who came to hunt. As these brutal beings s t al ked the f o r e s t , a white f u r ry snow-shoe r a b bi t f l e d towards the s a f e t y o f h i s home.

Lee' s V i c t o ry As f a r as the eye could see from the f ro s te d window, there was nothing but smoke and haze. Sherman had been defeated and k i l l e d . The Confederacy had defended A t l a n t a with pride and d i g n i t y . Sherman was turned back when he h i t the outer part o f the c i t y . General Lee shot down the h o r r i b l e Yankees ' t i l they had nothing l e f t but t h e i r s h or ts . Cheers rang out through A t l a n t a and as f a r away as V i r g i n i a . V i c t o r y had f i n a l l y come for the South. The Yanks knew they were defeated and had to admit they were p ret t y well 1i eked. Lee had j u s t been made President but he had to face the problems of r e b u i l d i n g the North. His plan was to have Southern s o l d i e r s come in and control the North. Then he was going to bring in carpenters to rebuild the North. Slowly the North was r e b u i l t . Lee' s plan had worked. He had accomplished an extreme task. He now had to face the problem o f g e t t i n g the North back together with the United S t a te s. He met with Li ncoln and they f i n a l l y agreed to come back into the U.S. America was reuni together again. Wes Westmoreland

The s e c u r i t y was not t i g h t . People were among the p r e s s . The P r e s i d e n t came out from making h i s speech when a man among the pr es s p u l l e d out a gun. The man t r i e d to shoot the P r e s i d e n t but James Brady got in the way and got h i t in the head. Then a policeman got in the way and was shot in the neck and s ho ul der . The P r e s i d e n t was h i t a f t e r t h a t , and the man f i r e d a g a i n , but a Sec r et S e r v i c e man stepped in f r o n t o f the P r e s i d e n t and got h i t . The P r e s i d e n t was pushed i n to h i s l i m o us in e and was rushed to George Washington U n i v e r s i t y H o s p i t a l f o r treatment. So were the o t h e r s .

As f a r as the eye could see from the f ro s te d window a white blanket covered everything. Roars were frequent. I never w i l l know i f they were the wind or j e t s with i n f r a - r e d scanners. I was s t a t io n ed in a small mountain cabin. There was a two-way radio and an e l e c t r i c heater on the f l o o r . In one corner was a bunk and mounted on the wall was an M-16 with 36,000 rounds and a bazooka and 100 s h e l l s . O c c a s i o n a l l y a f l a s h on the horizon would s i g n i f y a bomb or grenade. Suddenly out o f nowhere came h e l i c o p t e r s and l o t s of them. Three on the r i g h t f l a n k f i r e d rockets at the cabin. At t h i s , I closed the window and opened the gun port. Before I could get the M-16, two h e l i c o p t e r s had landed and s o l d i e r s s t ar t ed g e t t i n g out o f them. I ran over and got the gun and ammo. I thought, “ I f I go q u i c k l y , I can pick o f f a few." I did j u s t that. I ran to the port and opened f i r e .

In the meantime I was radioed. The commander s a i d , "The other s t a t i o n s have destroyed most of the h e l i c o p t e r s , but re-enforcements are due any minute. You have been doing w e l l , keep i t up." “Thank you, Si r . “ The commander was r i g h t ; re-enforcements came, luck'ily very few. The f i r s t one must have been a scanner because i t flew r i g h t over my head, but the next two had me worried. They zeroed in r i g h t at the cabin. I stayed calm by s a y i n g , “You di e, i d i o t ! !

As f a r as the eye could see from the f r o s t e d window there was nothing but s i l v e r snow and smoke coming out of the houses.

Frog Thoughts I remember when I was a l i t t l e tadpole. My fri ends used to c a l l me Flipper. My mom and dad lived in a swamp, as t hi ck as molasses , in Georgia. Our home was a hollowed stump stuffed with green gr a ss . I was the highest jumper in the whole swamp. My l i t t l e brother, Flippy, used to tr y to jump as high as me, but he was so small, he'd get stuck in a tree. Mother used to make me s tri ped bathing s u i t s for the swim team. I remember big people in a boat that dropped some t a f f y on my l i t t l e brother, Flippy. He was stuck a l l day, and cried and cri ed, and cried. One day, on a hot summer afternoon, a l l the f ro g gi e s from Finwick Ele mentary High School, a l l the townspeople, and even mean old Mr. F i n s l i p , gathered around Mayor Froglegs while he spoke about having a race. Every body lined up and at the s i g n a l , they s tar ted. I had a good s t a r t , but Flippy received a broken f l i p p e r when an older frog stepped on him, so he j u s t sat in a mud puddle cry ing. I jumped along with the whole town behind me as though I could jump a l l day long. Well, I won a prize of a water-squeeter dinner at the Tree Stump Inn.

The Journey to the Desert I remember when I would wait for every summer to come. My family and I would go to the C a l i f o r n i a State Fair. In the summer of 1981 Pam and I went in a huge hot a i r balloon with the guide. The rope kept us from f l y i n g o f f into the world. Somebody cut the ropes and we were climbing high into the a i r . We were scared because the guide had jumped out and we were f l y i n g higher and higher. We were very tired and frightened. F i n a l l y we landed in the smooth sands of the Arizona desert. We were hot and t h i r s t y . We walked about a hundred miles and saw an Indian v i l l a g e . There were straw hats and adobe houses. Some Indians showed us a bar and gave us some money and handmade d o l l s . We call ed our parents, hoping they were home. They were and we flew home. Af ter that we never went in a hot a i r balloon again. Megan Bogue

While we were o rd er i ng , we heard a loud voice suddenly say, "What do you mean you only got ONE of the Tremaine k i d s ? " When we heard our l a s t name, we were wi shi ng we could suddenly d i s a p p e a r , but we noticed that f i v e very cruel looking men were surrounding us. The c i r c u s men took us into a small and cramped t r a i l e r where we saw John and they told us why they had kidnapped us. We were kidnapped because some c i r c u s people had heard that our father was a m i l l i o n a i r e and they were goi ng to ask for $50,000 ransom. While we were in the t r a i l e r , an old woman had told a guard that was guardi ng the entrance what happened in the snack place. The guard c a l l e d some o f the other guards and searched the grounds. They found J u l i e , John and me and arr es ted the men. The next time the c i r c u s came to Mallbrook, we went with our parents. C h r i s t i n a B r u f la t
