Digest No.6 A Halloween Special

A yellow school bus pulled in at a curve of a street. A few kids hopped out of the bus, grinning and laughing. There was only one reason at that time why they were so happy. They all had projects, and a lot of homework to finish, but it was a Friday, and it was also the last Friday of October, the 30th. So, that meant that the following day was halloween, and that meant that every kid in the country would be stuffing their faces with candy.

Our story begins with 2 friends who were playing ball in their back yard. One of the friends were named Walk, and the other one was named Run. They were both throwing the ball back and forth, when Run suddenly started a conversation.

"Hey, I want to tell you something. Today, when I was walking home from school, I heard a rumour from a ninth grader that the old lady who lives in No. 34 is a witch who can turn you into a rabbit!" "Yeah, I heard about that too. Let's not forget she also turns people into bats and then she uses them to scare off people from her house"! said Walk. "Let's make a vow buddy. Let's not go near the witches house for as long as we live!" exclaimed Run. "Yes, I agree completely" said Walk.

Later in the day, when Run was at home hanging up fake spider webs for halloween, he decided to take a break and play with his remote control helicopter he got for his eighth birthday. So he took it out of his drawer, took it outside, he turned his helicopter and his remote control on and then he pressed the button on his remote which said 'Liftoff'. The rotor started spinning, and then the helicopter started rising into the air. After a few seconds, it stopped rising and it started hovering. So he pushed the controls and the helicopter started moving in the air. Then, all of a sudden, there was a gust of wind and it blew his helicopter right to the other end of the street, and right when Run thought it could not get any worse, the helicopter flew right in No.34's backyard.

"Oh No"! Run exclaimed loudly. He started running over to the old lady's house but he stopped in his tracks. He did not want to get turned into a rabbit, or worse, a bat. So, he decided to ask his Mom to get it for him. So he went to his backyard because his Mom was doing some gardening there.

"Mom, do you mind going over to the old lady's house and get my helicopter back? asked Run The wind carried my helicopter to her backyard." "Why don't you go and ask Walk whether he wants to go with you to get it? asked Run's Mom. I am really busy with the garden, and after I finish this I have to help your dad take out the trash" "Okay Mom" replied Run, and with that, he ran over to Walk's house.

Run rang the doorbell, and Walk's dad opened. the door. His Dad said that Walk had gone out shopping for halloween with his Mom. So Run decided to wait till tomorrow. So when Run went home, he finished decorating his house for halloween, and he went to bed. He told his Mom to give him dinner in the morning....

It was 7:00 pm the following day, and everyone was out trick-or-treating. Walk and Run decided to go together. So while they were trick-or-treating, Run suddenly remembered that he needed to get his helicopter from the old lady's backyard. He told walk about it, and they decided to go after they were done trick-or-treating.

So after they finished, they removed their costumes, and they head out to the so-called "witch's" house. They went to the front door, and Walk ran the bell. Walk was going to ask Run what he was going to say to the witch, but when he saw Run's face, he thought Run was going to faint. Run was pale to his feet, and he was also shaking all over. Then, looking at Run's face, Walk told Run to wait outside. Walk was also scared to the bone, but he thought someone has to get his helicopter back sometime.Run agreed immediately, and the door opened. The hall light was on, so it was casting shadow on the lady's face. Run saw the shadowy figure, and then he ran off terrified.

"Why did he run off like that?" said a nice sweet voice. Walk calmed down immediately hearing the voice, and he said "I don't know. He is a good friend of mine. His name is Run, and my name is Walk, and we both live on the other side of the street. He was playing with his toy helicopter and the wind blew it all the way to your backyard. So I was wondering whether I could get it". "Sure, and while your at it, why don't you stay for a while, and I can get you some home made candy for halloween" the shadowy figure replied.

So after a while, Walk was sitting in the large, ornate living room with a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling, a huge coffee table in the centre of the room, and there was also a huge LCD screen TV standing at the front end of the room. So the woman named Michelle started a conversation with Walk, about halloween and how it began. By that time, Run was getting worried. It had been 20 minutes since Walk had gone in, and he had a bad feeling that Walk was now a rabbit.

'I shouldn't have gone running like that, I must save my friend' Run thought, and with that, he started running toward the house without hesitation. The front door was open so he walked in, took a deep breath, and he started running like there was no tomorrow.

"WALK, I'M COMING!" Run shouted, and he ran straight in the living room, he grabbed Walk, he ran around the room trying to dodge Michelle as he was at it, and in the process of escaping, (or at least, trying to escape) he pushed down the TV, he jumped onto the coffee table so it broke into half, and after all the running, he also ran over poor Michelle.

So after a few minutes, Walk explained the whole thing, and how Michelle was actually a nice lady. Michelle also forgave Run, but she also told him to come every day after school for a month to her house for household choirs to play her back for the TV and her smashed up coffee table.

So, that is how the story went and maybe, just maybe, that also happened to you too. So maybe for the next week, keep your toys at home, and get your goody bags out. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you the last bit of the story. Here it is... and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

So after the month of November, Run was exhausted, because of constant work from Michelle. Well, he deserved it anyway, for what he did, and when he was going to sleep on the last day of November, believe it or not, but when he looked outside his window, he thought he saw Michelle out on a broom into the night's sky. Run thought he was hallucinating, but he believed it when he looked outside his window again. Michelle was hovering on a broom right outside his window, and she also did a little somersault on her broom. She zoomed off laughing like any witch does. Run never read comics or watched TV again in his life.....

Digest No.2 A Bad Cavity (Short Comedy)

"OW!!!" exclaimed Big Head. He was playing at his friend's house, (and as you can guess, his friend's name is Small Head) and every time he opened his mouth to say something his mouth hurt because he had a very bad cavity. His friend Small Head said "why don't you tell your parents and go to a dentist? They fixed my cavity and it did not hurt a bit". "Fine, but if you eat all those awesome cookies your Mom made for both of us, I will destroy you!" Big Head shouted, and then he left the room.

A couple hours later, Big Head's Dad drove Big Head to the dentist. Then, when it was finally his turn, he went in the room. The dentist, by the name of White Teeth, took out a torch from his pocket, and he told Big Head to sit down. After Big Head Sat, White Teeth stepped towards Big Head, he leaned over, he took a few steps closer, and... "OW"! exclaimed Big Head.

"My good sir, this is a torch, not a drill, and I haven't touched yet, so why on Earth are you yelling in pain"? "Because, you delinquent, you are standing on my feet!" shouted Big Head angrily. "Oh", said the ashamed dentist, and he stepped back a little, and a few minutes later, Big Head got his cavity filled, and he was charged extra for calling the dentist a delinquent, even if it was for a good reason! Just his Luck!

Digest No.1 The Foolishness of the King

In the city of Grape Juice, the Grape police force chief had been very worried, because of recent robberies, and the problem was that he could not find the thief or even get any evidence of the thief. 'The thief is very cunning, so I have to wait for an opportunity to get him red-handed. "HELP", a city person cried out loud, and reluctantly, the Chief turned around. He saw a man run towards him, and he said in a huff "A robber just grabbed my wallet from my hand, and he took off. I did not see his features because he took of like lightning." "Why on Earth were you holding the wallet in your hand?" the chief asked him. The man did not answer. He just turned around and looked down at the ground in shame.

So after that incident, the chief remembered that he was to see the Mayor in 2 days and give a report on the thief. If he did not get the thief, he would be fired. He had all his men on the case for the next 2 days, and he looked into it as far as possible. He had no luck.

The chief look worried. He did not know what to say to the Mayor. He was in the city hall, and the Mayor (by the name of Fruit Punch) was sitting in front of him, and the Mayor did not look happy. The chief gave his report, and the Mayor yelled "YOU BUFFOON! YOU CANNOT EVEN GET A THIEF? A THIEF THAT IS WORKING ALONE!!!" " But Mayor, even you cannot get him, even if you get the whole city to look for him." the scared chief replied. "Oh ho, is that right? Then, tonight I will go on my own and get him by the night's over. I will have the thief in jail by the time the sun starts rising"

So when the sun went down completely behind the horizon, the Mayor stepped outside of the City Hall, and he walked to his car. Then, before he got in, he saw smoke coming up from the other side of the wall. 'The other side is forest area, so I better get my torch' he thought to himself. He told his guards to watch the City Hall, and then the Mayor walked to the other end of the wall. He turned, and then he saw a fire, and a man behind it. The Mayor assumed he was in his 20's. So, with watching the man the whole time, he walked up to him, and the Mayor asked "Who are you"? The man replied "I am a man who feeds a thief who comes here. I do it because he pays me a lot".

"Will you help me catch the thief tonight when he comes"? the Mayor asked. "Sure, but take off you jewellery and keep it beside me so he will not steal it" the man replied. 'That is a good idea' the Mayor thought, so he removed his solid gold necklace and his solid gold ring (that his wife bought him) and he gave it to the man.

So, they sat for a long time, and then the Mayor asked him "why is the thief not coming"? the mayor asked. "He probably is scared coming because I am with another man, so why don't you hide so he does not see you" the man replied quickly. "But where do I hide" the mayor asked. The man pointed to a sack that was beside the roaring fire. "But on a second thought, that will be really stuffy..." the Man could not finish. The Mayor already was half in the bag, and all he needed to to now was to conceal his head. So the Mayor told the man "well, tie me up from the top so he will not see my head." So the man tied up the bad nicely, and then the man, with the Mayor's jewels, ran off into the wilderness.

The Mayor waited in there for two hours, and then he called out " Hello, anybody there"? The Mayor then new he had been cheated. Then, the Mayor's guards were getting worried, so they went looking for him. Then, they found him in a sack, so they untied him, and the Mayor said "not a word about this, to ANYONE" and the guards nodded their heads.

A few days later, the chief of Grape Juice police found and captured the thief, and then the Mayor rewarded him for capturing him.
