Whose money is it anyways?

      I was just walking around waiting for my parents to come so I can get my haircut (not something I like doing, considering I have to bathe after, ughh).   As I was waiting I was thinking about the weird fortune I saw yesterday in my fortune.  It was very descriptive, you'll see what I mean.  It said "You will find someone else's money on the sidewalk before going to the barber shop tomorrow".  Maybe it was true, considering we are going to the barber shop.  Just then, my mom said, "I unlocked the car, get inside".  I got inside, with my little sister.  She just loves staying with my mother whenever possible.  As soon as I got out of the car my sister yelled "Hey, a 20$ bill".  Man, was my fortune true? It could have just been that my mom dropped some money, but it wasn't hers! My fortune was shaping up to be true!  My mom took the money, and said "let's see whether we can find the owner of this money, after your haircut.  My sister on the other hand said,"Let's keep it!!".  I wanted to agree with my sister, but my mom was correct.  We should return the money.  After my haircut,  I wondered how are we gonna find the man who lost this money.  It could be anyone.  There were a couple of cars parked down next to us.  I took down all their license plate numbers because it could have been them.  My sister was constantly asking whether we could keep it. Then I said "lets leave it here it's only 20$ anyways".  My mom concurred and said, "What if it's a 100$ huh?"  My sister took the money and then saw,  It was a 100$! We only saw the 20$ bill on top.  We didn't realize all the money hiding beneath it.  It was too good to just leave around in that complex.  We had to solve this mystery.  Suddenly this cloaked figure came, his face hung down.   I couldn't see his hair, though, it was covered with his hood.  He didn't seem to be a very harmless guy.  So my mom asked if it was his money.  He hesitated for a moment "ummm . . .".  Then without a moments notice he said,"YES, YES, YES"!  My mom was about to give it to him, but I thought, no one hesitates if they lose their money.  So before my mom could give it to him, I asked him a simple question "How much money is in that wad of cash"? Another bit of hesitation,"ummm . . ." then in a questioning tone he said,"80$"?  It wasn't his.  He walked of . . . sad.  I hated to see that but when people lie, that's what they get.  My sister still had her "lets keep the money" attitude, but my mom went still to look for who's money it was.  As she was putting the money back in her purse for safe keeping, it got snatched from her hand.  At first I thought it was my sister, but she said,"It wasn't me".  I looked behind us and saw a guy who was laughing and running away with the money.  THEIF!, THEIF! I yelled at the top of my lungs.  I started to run after him,  when all of a sudden he banged straight into a pole and fainted.  Phew, I didn't need to run after him after all. He was under the pole with the money scattered everywhere.  We took the money, and counted to make sure we had all of it. It was all there, my mom put it into her purse and this time put it at the bottom so no one could steal it.  We were all walking, ready to leave, and we were going to ask the barber whether she could call us if anyone were to ask for their missing money.  All of a sudden, just before opening the door to tell the barber about the money, a man came up to us.  He asked whether we had seen any missing money around his car.  His car was the one parked right next to us.  My mom said "oh so, this is your money.  She dug around her purse, but couldn't find it. "HUH?"I said.  Then I looked inside the purse.  It wasn't there, instead there was a big fat hole.  "Uh oh, it must have dropped out of my purse" said my mom to the man. My sister yelled,"Why is that robber holding the money"! My mother and I looked, and sure enough the same robber who took the money from my mom's hand "un-fainted" and had the money with him.  We all started yelling at him for the money, "Give it back"! "Hey, that's mine"! Then the friendly neighborhood policeman swung by and asked,"What's all this commotion about"? I told him the whole story, and he made the robber give back the money, and the guy got his money. We saved the day, I thought, or did we . . .  When we reached home my sister got out of the car and yelled,"Hey a 100$ bill".  I looked and there it was.  I could tell what everyone was thinking.  OH NO, not again!

                                              The end

Falling in!

   There was a nice cool breeze going through my nice and toasty house.  My mom asked what I was doing. I lied and said "I'm working mom".  I sat back continuing to play the video game i was playing and wondered if days could get any better than this.  All of a sudden my finger slipped and landed on the LEFT arrow key and I fell.  Now your probably thinking i fell on the ground, but you will never believe what actually happened. I fell into my computer!  I was in the middle of my video game, literally! The aliens were closing in on me and trying to shoot at me.  I got so scared I ran and hid into the trash (the trash in the computer).  I looked through the trash and saw all this valuable stuff inside and wondered why I threw it in there.  I went a little further right and found . . .  my long lost homework! I couldn't admire anything in the trash though (sounds pretty funny, eh) because the aliens had found their way into the trash I ran out and did the only thing I could do.  I closed the trash file.  Phew! "One mission accomplished, and right now I am hoping there is only one more", I whispered to myself. I was walking along the dashboard when all of a sudden (yep, there is that word "sudden") I stepped on the shut down key. NOOOOOO!  I fell into a vortex of files and  everything went pitch black.  I had to wait until someone was going to on my computer, but them I remembered , no one but me uses my computer! Now What!!! I cried and cried and cried some more.  I cried so loud I guess my dad heard it and wondered what was happening.  He opened my computer, and he looked relieved to see me but also angry.  He shouted at me for playing that video game instead of doing my work! Then he got worried and wondered how to get me out.  He went to a computer shop and asked how to get me out.  I was getting a little hungry so i went to a fast food website and ate their ads.  The guy at the shop didn't know what to do.  My dad got so angry he hit his head at the keyboard and he hit the RIGHT arrow key.  I flew out of the screen and hugged my dad like never before. WHOO HOO!

   

Bird Blog 4

                                                    The Brown Pelican

I know, I know your going to ask me why I have not been bird blogging in so long.  Well, I guess I just totally forgot about it and started writing other interesting stories.  Anyways lets get onto the facts about this amazing bird.  Guess what it is.  If you guessed Brown Pelican your right!  So, the reason I am talking about this specific pelican is because I saw at least two in San Fransisco.  Now this magnificent pelican may not be as big as the American white pelican but it sure is cool.

  This bird is (at breeding times) a  brownish grayish color on its body and a bright red or black neck.  Its head is yellowish and whitish and it has a white and black beak that contrast. So these pelicans get there food by plunging into the shallow water. Doing that stuns the fish and they automatically  go into the pelicans mouth. Pretty smart, eh?

These amazing birds live along the coast. So if your planning to go to San fransisco or the bay be sure to take a camera, because you will see this bird.  Fun fact! Did you know that the oldest brown pelican lived for 43 years! That's about as long as Mozart did!

Imagine a world with no brown pelicans what so ever.  Well, thats exactly what happened in the 20th century, when pesticides nearly made this bird go extinct! but then after a few years the bird started making a recovery because the use of pesticides decreased. The pesticides made the birds eggs so thin that they would crack immediately, but you don't need to worry because the brown pelican is now really common and those pesticides haven't been use in a long time.

Anyways that is a really interesting bird, eh?!

Return of Mathitonious

  Remember the world of Mathitonious well here is the sequel to the last story "Mathitonious". After the  aliens left Earth The figured out that Mathitonious was gone! When the alien king, Smart guy saw this, he thought the Earthlings had stolen Mathitonious. Then he thought twice and said," No, that planet is much too big to fit in Earth. " So they brainstormed and finally one alien came up with a solution.  It was the average alien.  Everyone laughed at the idea at having average alien actually coming up with a solution.  Then suddenly the king shouted,"Quiet!" lets here what this boy has to see or we will all die."  Average alien said," This is where I think it is hidden . . . do you remember that star that our scimathist taught us about, the one that we orbit.  He also said that in a very short time we would be eaten by it."  " Well. we may have not gotten eaten by it but our planet probably did!" Everyone gasped at this theory at first they thought he was kidding but then it occurred to them that that might have actually happened.  "How do we get our planet back?" asked someone in the crowd. Average alien thought for a moment and in tears said," we'll never get it back." Everyone was about to protest but again he was right.  There was a moment of despair for everyone. Then the alien king said," we can't just live here and die". What do we do!".  This time the scimathist came in and interrupted he said,"looking for something" and behind them they saw the ashes of there colorful planet.  Everyone knew what happened. "We still don't know what to do came an irritated voice from the crowd." Someone else said I guess we can go back to Earth.  Everyone agreed and the scimathist had a rocket built in no time they went back to Earth and landed . . . er I mean crash landed onto someones picnic table.  Every was startled to see the Mathitonious aliens come back.  "We . . . um came to live here because of some minor problems", The king said. Everyone thought about it and said,"Yeah! we would love your company."  Yay, said everyone and they lived happyish ever after only because they couldn't have math class every single minute every single day.

Mathitonious

  There was a world deep in the center of space it was called Mathitonious.  Deep in the center of Mathitonious there were Aliens that obviously love math as it says in the name.  Mathitonious is divided in many parts.  There is a part full of half animals and humans, a weird animal place, and (panting) I don't know how many I can get to, but at this point it really doesn't matter because I am going to talk about the Aliens who love math place.  The center of Mathitonious had a completely different color than the rest of the area.  It was dark pink and dark orange.  Now, I finished the explaining how Mathitonious looks so lets get on to the story part.  Now in around the year 3,400 the Earthlings had finally figured out about Mathitonious and decided to challenge them in a great Math match to see who is better at math.  When the aliens figured out of this math contest, they decided to challenge them in the contest.  They went into a ginormous hall and 5 minutes later the contest started!  The math match lasted 3 days and both sides were done but the only problem was the judges were to sleepy to figure out which side won.  So I guess in a way they tied.

The Stolen Ghost

Hi! My name is anonymous.  Remember me from that Cartoon Pets story.  Well, here I am again with a new mystery .  It turns out that someone has stolen a ghost! So now you may be asking, How does someone steal a ghost.  It just so turns out that no one knows how, but the police are trying to figure it out.  Now you may also be asking how people know that there is a stolen ghost.  Well in a place called the haunted hornet some people aren't seeing the one and only ghost they see often.  Just yesterday, my mom said she would take me to the Haunted hornet to investigate.  So right now I am packing up to go.   Once I am done packing I can go.  Well, looks like I am done packing now.  So I get into the car to go.  When I reach there I start investigating. After an hour or so I didn't find any clues.  Well, too bad there are no more clues. I take my duffel bag and sulk back home.  When I go back I open my bag and find the stolen ghost!  I check to see if it is mine.  It isn't! It says jack on it.  I rush back to the hornet to see if this "Jack" is still here. Then I see a kid with my duffel bag!  I ask if his name is Jack.  He says,"Yes." So we exchange bags and then I ask,'' Why did you steal the ghost?''  He says he didn't and then he adds it could have flown into my bag because it is pretty ghost friendly.  I report the theft to the police and they seem really happy so they give me an award which I shall not tell.  I head back home this time not sad but, amazingly happy.  Now that is my story, so
The End, and again this is not the end of all my mysteries. Only this one but for now,

THE END!
