Emily And The Case Of The Disappearing City.

   Once there was a detective whose name is Emily and she is the best detective yet. Now one day she and her family went to a city for a vacation. It was time to relax but when they get to their location, there was no city! For a moment Emily thought that this was the wrong location but when she looked at the map it was the right one. And so she thought this was another mystery.


   “Are we lost?” asked Emily ’s big sister, she was the laziest of them all. Emily’s sister is always complaining and doesn’t help at all. “It should be here! It should be here!” Emily’s father said. “Oh, great we’re lost!” Emily’s mother said. Everyone except Emily was complaining in the car until Emily’s father said that it is getting late so it was time for them to go home.

   Emily could not believe that the trip was futile. And since it was a holiday, their mother said that they will have their vacation in another city so they went to the nearest city and found a hotel. They were so tired so they went to sleep except for Emily. She was still thinking about the city and a few hours later she left the hotel and drove her invisible car. This car is so magical that if you touch it you will be invisible too.


   When she got to the city there were dead trees, weird people, and haunted mansions. She got curious hence she went into the mansion and she saw a big cobra!  It was trying to squeeze her tight but Emily tried to free herself it but it was too late the snake trapped Emily so tight. Then the cobra’s tail accidentally bumped the sleeping spell which was lying on a desk near the snake that made the cobra and Emily very sleepy. She tried to stay awake and then the witch who lives there brought her to a scary bedroom and the witch locked her up. Then she realized that the mansion, the sleeping spell, and the snake were owned by the witch. It looks like Emily is refraining from being sleepy then she saw an open window so she jumped out. She asked the weird people outside but they don’t talk at all although they were in great abundance. She bumped into an old lady who welcomed her into her house as she told her a story about why the city became haunted.


   Then it was time to go home so Emily said goodbye and drove back in her invisible car and waved to the old lady who quickly waved back. Off she went as she passed the crevice of entrust thinking thoughtfully about the city. It stands for a reason that it was, first of all, a beautiful city until an earthquake destroyed and it killed so many people that it became a haunted city. When she went back to the hotel, her family was just waking up to go out for breakfast. They didn’t know that Emily went out and solved the mystery of the vanishing city. The End.

The Truth About Dinosaurs

   Millions of years ago, dinosaurs ruled the Earth. The time when dinosaurs dominated the Earth is called the Mesozoic era. That was the time before humans lived although not all dinosaurs lived in one period alone. They were born in different periods. The first period is the Triassic period, this was where the Herrerasaurus reigns. The next period is called the Jurrasic period. This was the time where Stegasaurus appeared. On the Cretaceous period, the king of the dinosaurs, T Rex was born and this was the end of the line.

Brachiosaurus

   The dinosaurs are extinct but some of their descendants are still around and this is in the form of birds. Paleontologists have discovered that dinosaurs evolved into birds like cockatoos and hummingbirds. We know why because birds lay eggs like dinosaurs and they have scaly feet although some characteristics of dinosaurs are not copied by birds like how they grate their food with their teeth and how they roar.

Velociraptor

   Dinosaurs are depicted in films but of course, they are not always true. I mean, dinosaurs didn’t live in the same period. The T Rex didn’t interact with the Mastodon which is a wooly mammoth. Humans and dinosaurs have a different period too. The movies about the dinosaurs have some truth in them too.

Supersaurus

   Today, even if we don’t see dinosaurs like a giant reptile, we can still see their fossils. Fossils are the bones of the dinosaurs that turned into stones. When a giant meteorite crashed down the Earth, clouds blocked the sun for months and this was a devastation for the dinosaurs. But small animals survived this pandemonium but most plants died and this was the time when dinosaurs disappeared. Today, paleontologists are digging evenly to uncover fossils. There is always a dinosaur fossil waiting to be uncovered. So loathe them or love them, dinosaurs are the best!

Mimi's Drawing


It’s storytime again and this time around it’s about a cute little girl who loves to draw and a teddy bear who magically appeared. I hope you like it. Mimi’s Drawing A girl named Mimi was a magnificent artist! She once won a drawing contest and received a package full of toys, isn’t that awesome?

The Teddy Bear
One day she wanted to draw again and this time she drew a teddy bear with brown fuzzy fur, cute little eyes, a mouth full of joy and a sniffly little nose, isn’t that cute? Then it was time for lunch so Mimi went down to eat but then her drawing, the teddy bear started to come out of the picture. Then the teddy bear heard footsteps and he doesn’t know who it is but it was just Mimi walking into her bedroom. She went inside her room and saw what happened, she shrieked in fright but the teddy bear said, “stop! I will pay you a compliment for making me.” “Alright then”, Mimi said, this time she was noble and brave. “And what is the compliment? asked Mimi. “What do you like to do?”, the teddy bear asked. “Well I like to go to the Run Around Amusement Park,” said Mimi. “Then that’s where I will treat you.” the teddy bear said. “But how?” said Mimi. “Don’t worry I will draw some money.” said the teddy bear. “You can draw too, that’s great!” Mimi said. “Teddy bear you must be very hungry, let’s go have lunch first,” said Mimi.

The Monster

After lunch, Mimi felt like drawing again and this time it was a monster and when the monster came out in a flash, it chases Mimi! But Mimi knew how to outrun the monster so she didn’t move a muscle and she started to crumble the drawing and gradually the monster disappeared. “I think it’s time to stop drawing,” Mimi said. The teddy bear overheard that and said to Mimi, “no don’t desert your drawings, I love them.” “You do?” asked Mimi. “Of course!” said the teddy bear. “Well I do love drawing,” said Mimi. “And it is also my passion so I guess I shall continue my dream,” said Mimi. So from then on, Mimi continued to draw but this time she drew cute little things. The End.

I hoped you like it, it's a silly story, anyway see you at the next storytime.
