So now I deserve to hear your story.” “Okay,” he said, “I just turned “24” three weeks ago.” “Cool,” she interrupted, “go on.” “I found out i got this job last week and was told to come into work today, that I already would know what to do, but I have no idea what I’m doing this job was a favor from my old boss. He was with me when I lost this bad boy.” He was showing his prosthetic leg, and said, “I lost it in an accident.” “Oh really must have been an accident then to have lost your leg.” She said with a face that seemed slightly weirded out. He told her the story about how he lost it trying to keep the truck from rolling off the hill and how the electric co-op paid his bills and him the rest of his salary for the year then gave him the job he currently has now, and her response was. “Wow you are kind-of amazing, but you never told me how you actually came to work for the co-op in the first place.” Then he said, “well to be honest I guess it is because I really liked electrical classes in school.” he was interrupted by the waiter bringing their

“Jackie, you can sometimes go a little overboard, so Carl is taking the wheel.” Carl continues. “Once upon a time” Jim screams. He rolls his eyes at Jim, “May I proceed,” He responds rhetorically. By the time Carl finishes the scary story, Jim has already dashed into the tent, startling his dog, a basset hound named Roxy. Carl and Jackie look at each other in regretful worry, walking towards Jim's tent. Opening the tents flap reveals Jim smothering his face into his pillow, crying. “Oh, I didn't mean to scare you with my story, Jim” apologized Carl.“It's just a story, Jim, there's nothing to be afraid of.” sneered Jackie, resting her hand on his shoulder. “Jackie! You know I don't like scary stories!” He cried, muffled by his pillow. “Hey, listen Jim, you can't

One early morning Cosmo Cosma walked outside into the damp, foggy air, where he had noticed his basketball idol, Timmy Turner, appeared out of the misty, white fog. His favorite player in the world just appeared, and Cosmo was mystified by his vision. Cosmo had started trudging towards Timmy because he heard his voice calling him in a captivating tone, and once he had begun his process towards Timmy, his idol gradually begun to evaporate into mid air. When Cosmo had seen the development begin he had rapidly begun to sprint towards Timmy, when he suddenly had been awoken from his hypnotic state because of luminous, golden lights materialized from the fog. The mesmerizing lights turned out to be his friend Jorgen Von Strangle, who had come to pick up Cosmo for their Saturday morning basketball practice.

“Oh, there you are” her mother would reply Jordan would giggle, then run back out the back door with no shoes on. For a few days Jordan came inside the house limping on one foot, crying to her mother, “Mommy, I got cactus stuck in my foot” her mother would sit there with tweezers, pulling out each spine from the heel of her foot Jordan flinching each time she yanked one out. As soon as her mother was done, she'd look at her mother thankful she could help her, but still a tear still rolled down her face onto the floor from the surging pain now in her foot. Her mother would look at her in the eyes and repeat “You better learn how to wear your shoes” Jordan would nod, then limp off to her room to take a nap. One day, Jordan opened her eyes, she looked out the door and found her mother to be in the yard digging up cactus in the yard. Jordan made sure to put on some shoes and ran outside hiding around the corner of the house. Her mother saw her peeking around the corner of her house and said “Jordan, do you want to come help me?” Jordan smiled disappearing back around the house. She ran around the other side of the house trying to make her mother to jump. Kristina would giggle and say “Get over here you little turd” Jordan would run up to her mother, hug her, then look up at her saying “I love you mom” as her mother looked down

“Yes, I know. Fine I will watch it later and I will be able to participate in

Second, Gene and Finny go back to the tree everyday to jump for practice. Gene and Finny were climbing up the tree and Gene was very jealous of Finny so when they got on top of the branch to jump off, Gene shook the tree and Finny fell. Finny went to the hospital and he had a broken leg, Finny did not know that Gene was the reason he fell. He thought he lost his balance and fell. Gene starts to feel bad and after so long Finny gets trialed and Gene admits that he shook the

What are you-all up too?” “Nothing much.” Simone and David walked in. “How’s Angelica?” ask David. “She’s sleeping.” said Marie. “I’m going to go and peep in.” said Simone. “She went to Angelicas room, walked in. Angelica was watching television. “Hey sleepy head, you’re woke.” “Hey Simone, Where’s David?” “He’s up front talking to Momma and Aunt Lori.” “How long you been here?” ask Angelica. “I just got here, Angelica, Momma told me that you’ve been having headaches, Are you okay?” “Yeah, I’m fine, the pain pills Mom gives me, stops it.” “You know I love you right.” “I know, Simone, Is it true?” “Is what true?” “I seen the news this morning, Is Brittany dead?” “Uh-.” “Simone, please, tell me, Is she dead?” Simone sat down next to Angelica.

His young wife was pregnant, and one night she dreamed that the tree was uprooted. Her husband said, "My wife, your dream makes me feel very sad. It is obviously a dream with great strength. According to our tradition, we have to make every effort to make it realize. The tree must be uprooted.”

During recess one day at school, Henry, being the little bear he was, felt like climbing a tree. Except, there were no big climbing trees on the playground. In fact, the only tree on the playground was a very small tree that was just planted. Henry walked over to it. He looked around to make sure there was no one watching him. He really wanted to climb it. I am sure this tree is strong enough to hold me, Henry thought. He reached up and grabbed a low branch and began to pull himself up.

In his early childhood, a boy spends his time playing with his favorite tree, climbing its trunk, and swinging from its branches. As the boy approaches adolescence, he desires money and the tree yields its apples for him to sell. At adulthood, he yearns for a home and the tree offers its branches for the man to build his home. At middle age, he asks the tree for a boat and the tree offers its trunk, which the man cuts to build his boat. During his final years, the old man asks the tree for a quiet place to sit and rest, and the tree offers its stump.

When Little Anne and Old Dan treed their first racoon, it perched itself in a gigantic tree. Billy had great respect for this tree, and named it ‘The Big Tree’. Old Dan jumped at the tree, trying to get the coon, but it was futile. Earlier Billy had made a promise to his dear hounds, he said that he’d chop down a tree if they got a racoon up one. Being a man of his word, he hacked at the Big Tree’s trunk all night. Horrid blisters formed on his hands while he worked, but he didn’t give up, on the tree, or his dogs. His

This tree ends up being the worst for Finny. Finny and Gene leave school without permission and go to the beach. Gene ends up being late for a test and which he fails. Gene blames Finny for this incident because Gene realizes that Finny was doing this so Finny could be at the top of the class instead of Gene. Finny wants to be the best at everything. Finny and Gene one night decide to take a jump off of the tree and tragedy occurs. John Knowles writes, "Holding firmly to the trunk, I took a step toward him, and then my knees bent and I jounced the limb." With the limb being jounced Finny falls down and hits the ground causing him to shatter his leg. His shattered leg prevents him from playing sports for the rest of his life.

The school bell rang, and my classmates and I reluctantly went to our classes. The CPP (Coffeebucks) had not been doing so well. On opening day, the store had a few visitors. After tasting the awful instant coffee, they never came back. Weeks passed and no one had come, except for some coders expecting some C++ seminar. When they saw that the store consisted of matches and coffee powder, they left ASAP. October came, and one day I decided to go to check on Coffeebucks, and have Oopka pay Jeff a visit. I walked through the glass door. As I walked in, a little bell rang. “Hi Barbara” Jeff greeted. “How’s CPP doing” I asked. “No visitors yet” he answered. “The good news is I know someone’s coming real soon” I said slyly. Jeff’s face lit up. “REALLY??!!” he asked. “BUGGA BOO!!” I yelled and simultaneously pulled Oopka out of my bag and thrust it into my brother’s face. He ripped Oopka off of my hand. “Hey give me my Oopka back!” I yelled. Jeff started swinging it around. I still remember Oopka’s poor little face as Jeff furiously swung my beloved hand-held figurine around. Jeff chucked Oopka at the wall and the poor dear’s puppet face got so dented up it looked like a bruised tomato. You couldn’t tell that it was a clown anymore. At first I was speechless, but then I started to cry. “Serves that little monster right” my brother murmured. The Coffebucks house phone rang and the manager [my brother] answered. Jeff had forgotten about the house phone in the bathroom and I went and picked it
