Best Place

One of my favourite places is Raging Waters. It's really fun. They have these swirly water slides. One is a blue shark slide and it's dull jaw is going all the way down. I went down with my dad in a bumpy tube. The shark spits you out from it's mouth. There is also a baby one that doesn't have much water.

Once there was a shiny water slide called snake. It was enormous. It was like a zig-zag. My brother and I went on it. It wasn't really fun. After you go to a few slides it's really windy and shivering cold! My teeth chatter so much, that they go up and down. I have to hug myself to stop it!

I cool down by taking another slide. There are like 10 slides. They're all tall, straight, slender, short and slim, very slim. Some of the rides you have to be careful because you might hit your back and be paralyzed. I love Raging waters! You should try it!

The Dumb Fisherman

Once upon a time, there lived two fishermen. One sunny morning, they were going fishing. They were fishing in a big long, brown boat. They were fishing for hours. One of the fishermen was singing, that's when the other fisherman saw a fish soaring into the sky.

He tried to catch with his net, but the fish was soaring too high. Then he hatched a plan.

He yelled, "look, look", so loud. Then the fisherman stopped singing. He looked up. He jumped at it and gobbled it all up. So the dumb man didn't get any bit of the tasty fish.

What is Peace

Is it the calmness in the face of a sleeping baby that does not have a single worry in the world?

Is it the beauty of the nature itself captured by the lush green mountains, the gentle streams, the quietly falling snow flakes or the rythmic waves of the ocean?

Is i the quiteness of the night, when the silence takes everything over?

Peace is all around us and inside of us.

The love by the parents, the trust of a friend, the guiding hands of a teacher.

The very act of being happy and content with one self fills our mind with peace.

If we all love and seek peace, why is there so much war? The revolutionary war, the civil war, the world war and now the war inflicted by the terrorists fills my heart with sadness. I wish we could all make peace, and not war.
