The legend of St. Osyth Sighere, though sad, gave her land, By the sea, with golden sand. A nunnery she built with care, With other women, living there. But one day, Vikings sailed, Up the estuary, they railed. They raided, pillaged, without shame, And to Osyth's nunnery, they came. Osyth's head, they cruelly took, But wait, there's more to this book! She picked it up, and off she went, To warn the nuns, her message sent. Where she fell, a spring did flow, Healing waters, all aglow. Osyth's life on earth did end, But as a saint, her gifts descend. Worshipped, praised, through all the days, Her legend lives in many ways. A monastery stands so grand, In the place of Osyth's land.

Aria loved summer, but it came with a downside—whenever the temperature rose above 29°C, she’d get nosebleeds. Despite this, she learned to carry tissues and stay cool. One evening, while walking in the forest, Aria discovered a glowing creature made of lava. Though its fiery appearance seemed intimidating, the creature looked lonely. "Hey there," Aria called. The lava monster, whom she named Ember, sighed, showing no aggression but a sense of weariness. Aria realized Ember’s heat made him isolated and decided to help. She returned home, grabbed her towel, and sat at a safe distance from Ember, offering water and snacks. Over time, Ember inched closer, his heat cooling around the edges. They met regularly, with Aria sharing stories while Ember silently listened. She learned that Ember had wandered far from home, seeking warmth but finding only solitude. One weekend, Aria took Ember to the beach, where the ocean breeze helped balance Ember’s heat. They sat together, sharing the towel, with the warmth of Ember and the coolness of the ocean blending perfectly. One day, Ember surprised Aria by cooling down significantly. His heat no longer triggered her nosebleeds. "You’re cooling down?" she whispered. Ember made a soft noise, showing he had adjusted his temperature to make her comfortable. Aria smiled, grateful for their unique bond. From that day, Aria and Ember’s friendship grew, finding a balance of warmth and coolness, a companionship that was perfect without causing any pain.

I love my tablet. I love playing games and watching videos. I love it so much I take it everywhere and use it all the time. My mummy does not like my tablet. She thinks I use it too much. She only thinks that because she never had a tablet when she was young. Today, I went to use my tablet and the power turned off. I couldn’t play any games. I couldn’t watch any videos, and my tablet was dying. What in the world am I to do? I’ll die of boredom for sure. Five minutes without my tablet and I was pacing the floor. I just don’t know what to do. Mummy walks by, and simply says “Go outside.” Go OUTSIDE? Is she out of her mind? I’ll get itchy, and dirty. And it’s SO HOT! No way. I can’t do that. Mummy starts to go on and on about how she would play when she was young but that doesn’t change my mind at all. Besides, she has so much to say about how she used to play but I don’t see her going outside. “Come,” She said. “Let me show you what it was like in the good ole’ days.” Mummy took me outside and my skin started to melt off my bones. The grass was already pricking my skin, and a rock rolled right into my Crocs. Mummy didn’t mind any of my cries, and started to show us all the joys of her old life. That day, we climbed the mango tree until my sister Jana scraped her knee. We played hopscotch on the concrete using rocks to draw on the street. Daddy taught us how to shoot marbles in the dirt. Johnny lost and was very hurt. We made mud-pies and fed them to all the guys. We spinned and sang to the beat of our own drum, There’s a brown girl in the ring. Sha-la-la-la-la. There’s a brown girl in the ring sha-la-la-la-la. There’s a brown girl in the ring sha-la-la-la-la. And she looks like a sugar and a plum, plum, PLUM. So soon, it was time to go inside. Mummy picked the prickles off of my pants as I tried not to cry. The power was back on, but it was not as fun. Mummy was really right about them good ole’ days.

One day Layla wore her superpower costume and was mischievous in so many different ways. Her father told her she wasn’t super at all and sent her to her room without her lunch. Layla felt cross and angry. Just then, her room changed and it became the clouds in the sky. That night, Layla climbed into her private hot air balloon and soared high above the houses. She flew in and out of clouds and almost over a rainbow to the land where the giants live. Layla gazed at this place as her balloon approached. She could see tall trees that towered and stretched as high as the sky. She could see huge houses that lurked in the darkness beyond. She could even see fantastic flowers whose beautiful fragrance danced on the breeze. When she arrived at the place where the giants live, the giants stomped their enormous feet and boomed with their enormous voices and crunched their enormous teeth. Layla didn’t care. She waved at them cheerily and then they made her Queen of the Giants. Soon though, Layla grew weary of the Giants and dreamed of her home. So she climbed back into her hot air balloon, drifted through clouds and almost over a rainbow until she landed back in the warmth of her very own room.
