... over at me and started laughing!! She got up, came over, and said "Ooops! Heh, that's MY bag." Okay, if she had been sincere, fine, I wouldn't have been so mad. But, well, if she had been any more fake, I'm sure she would have turned into plastic or something! Anyway, I got up, brushed off my legs, and with a little "hmph" I walked off. I sat down by the water and fantasized about how wonderful it would be if it were me with him. Soon though, in thinking that, my anguish turned into anger, and my anger into hatred. Hatred for that mean girl who had what belonged to me! I wanted to go up to her and hit her across the face and I wanted to show her who was the b ...

... the top of the ladder and see what's there. Then I'll come back down and tell you what I saw." Chris's suggestion pleased the bird. "I'll fly with you for a little ways," it said, "but I must return soon, to protect my nest." So Chris started climbing the ladder again, and the blue bird flew up beside him. Together they climbed past the top of the tree and into the sky. They had been climbing for a little while when the blue bird turned back to its nest. "Goodbye, Chris," the blue bird said. "Don't forget to tell me what's at the end of the ladder." Chris climbed higher. Soon he met a woman dressed in coveralls. She held a hammer ...

... of the battle field each one jockeying for the upper hand. As the referee announced there was half an hour left before game time, a few players huddled together to say a quick prayer while others gathered around the head coach for a final word of advice. One of the competitors listening to this advice was Matt Williams or "The Destroyer", as he was known by the crowd. He was a powerfully built young man who was in the possession of deep opaline eyes, nightmarish black hair, and a ruddy complexion. Feared by all for his ruthless behavior, Matt had joined the DFS league after being courtmarshaled by the army for striking the commanding officer of his plato ...

Furthermore, President Bill Clinton decided to send all of our garbage into space in 1996 instead of recycling when he introduced Project No-Garbage. At first this was a good idea, but slowly, we noticed our atmosphere was full of milk cartons and banana peels!

... when I was inside, my cousin Philip, who was on the deck, said "I've had enough. Come out here." "Is this a trick?," I asked. It seemed a little suspicious. "No, of course not. I'm just sick of this game." "Well, okay." I hesitated then decided to go out to the deck. "Ha! Got you!" said my other opponent, Lance, who was hiding behind the door with a water egg in his hand. "Liar!," I yelled at Philip. My instant reaction was to jump off the deck onto the grass below. I had done it many times before and knew that I would be okay. That way I could get away from Lance and I would not lose the water fight. The water egg whizzed right past my head as I v ...

... of me emerging alive from this mess weren't very good, I began to think of a strategy that would enable all my major organs to remain intact. I decided to use humor to defeat this barbaric beast. I must have ridiculed and made fun of myself over 200 times. I told him that even if he passed out, in a full body cast , and suffered from leprosy, he still could wipe the floor with my feeble body. I told him if he didn't disfigure me, that I would offer to be his own personal reusable toothpick for as long as he wished.
