Neighborhood Bridges writing samples


Tossed Salad
by Tyler

"Ha ha ha!" Demeter was laughing because Cupid just told the funniest joke.
Demeter said to Cupid, "Why don't we go get Zeus, Hera, and Hades."
Cupid said "Sure."
Then they all went Figure Skating. After that they went Snow boarding and at the same place Demeter fell and broke her leg. Then Hades drove them to the hospital. While they were there the nurse came in and asked, "Does anyone want ice cream?"
Then Zeus and Hera both said "I want some!"
But they both wanted chocolate ice cream and there wasn't enough, so they played rock-paper-scissors and HERA won. Then Zeus got really made, then Cupid asked him "Are you okay?"
"DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M OKAY!" shouted Zeus.
Then he had a wonderful idea. He went to ask Hades if he can borrow his helmet and Hades let him. So then Zeus hid in the closet and yelled out "BOO!" when Hera walked by and Hera fainted. When she woke up, she dumped him.
The End

The Raincoat
by Mai

One day it was raining.
Mom said I could go outside but that I need my raining coat and hat.
I couldn't find my hat. I look and look but couldn't find it.
I put on my raincoat and there was my hat stuck in the raincoat arm.
It was funny.
