Short Story Of A Pumpkin

From the time I was a little boy I was always taught to never lie and to always do my best. I learned at a very young age that you possess virtues and personal attributes that make you who you are. Fast forward 15 years and now I am a Sergeant of Marines in the United States Marine Corps. Leading and mentoring young men in their earlier adulthood. My influence on these Marines can change them for the rest of their life. As a sergeant you must possess integrity, dependability and courage to be a successful leader of Marines. Tell the truth all the time no one bats an eye, tell one lie and your reputation is in question for a lifetime.

A long time ago in the 1900s there was a woman named Rosemary. She loved fall and wanted some pumpkin seeds. Rosemary decided to go to the farm with her husband Norman and her sister Carrie. Every year they would go to the farm to get pumpkins. This year they were really excited because the farm got better more orange pumpkins. Carrie was in her high 50s and so was Norman. Her sister Carrie was in her high 40s.

As the second cycle began, the children had completed their clean up routines and were now gathering in a group to participate in their morning circle activities. Mrs. Eady lead the children through the days of the week, the calendar, word wall, reviewing of the classroom rules, music and movement, and a reading of the book, “The Plumply Dumply Pumpkin.” While most of the activities were teacher chosen, the children had an active role in the lessons. Each child had the opportunity to lead part of the lesson, both in reviewing the word wall and the classroom rules. Throughout the activities, children could stand up and move and openly share their thoughts. When children did share their thoughts, the teacher encouraged them to express themselves

Once upon a time there was a turkey named Moo. Moo was scared of Thanksgiving to say the least, but what turkey isn't? Moo didn't want to be on the Thanksgiving feast table, but once again, who does? Moo walked around the farm thinking of different ways to disguise herself. She thought of different animals that she could disguise herself as so that the farmer wouldn't recognize her. But nothing really came to mind. Moo continued to walk and look at all the different pens that held all of the different animals. She came across pigs but, then again some people used pigs for Thanksgiving. She continued to walk in search of the perfect animal to disguise herself as. She came across some horses but didn't think that she'd be able to pass as a horse.

It is actually very hard to be completely honest all the time and in every situation. But I believe that being honest can be very rewarding in the end because you are not deceiving others or yourself which is beneficial to you and society.

“No next we have to gut the pumpkin.” my dad said. He grabbed the tablespoon we had ready and began to scrape the insides of the pumpkins. He scooped out a few slimy guts, laid them on the table, and handed me the spoon. I scraped at the pumpkin for about 20 minutes. Making sure to get everything out of the pumpkin. My dad looked inside and confirmed “Now we can carve the face.”

If you're looking for a good pumpkin, then don't choose me. I mean, who wants a pumpkin with three flaws. I wouldn't want to get a pumpkin with these flaws. The flaws I have are bad. I have holes, i'm smelly, and I am square.

That's Good" by Alex Stone. Although lying may temporarily solve problems, telling the truth is of higher quality because telling a lie forces you to take a risk you don't need to take and causes you to devise a plan about telling it.

You know that moment when you’re trying to reach the toilet paper but can't quite, then fall and kill yourself on a pumpkin? Yeah I know that feeling… it’s not good. It all started one very normalish day at 1065 Fitzgerald Ave.

When telling lies you often wonder if people actually believe what you are telling. I have learned from my mistakes and it is so much simpler to just tell the truth. I know that not all the time you can tell the truth, but you should be able to draw a fine line of when it’s not okay and okay to lie. Little White lies as people call them is not always little, but lies like when someone asks if there hair looks ok and it doesn’t then you shouldn't tell them. It might hurt their feelings if you tell the truth. Other times you shouldn’t tell lies about things that could affect the outcome of things such as in the book “The Kite Runner”.

It was a frigid Fall day, with kids raking up the warm colored leaves into piles that seemed high enough to climb then proceeding to destroy those piles by jumping into them. There was one kid named Nate who didn’t partake in the repeated destruction of leaf piles; he was much more interested in carving pumpkins. It was his favorite thing to do during Fall; but, neither his friends or family enjoyed touching the disgusting, gooey insides of the pumpkins, so they refused to make jack-o-lanterns with him. While on the way to buy some pumpkins to buy, Nate saw a flyer for a pumpkin carving contest. He was enthralled with the idea of a whole contest being dedicated to see who is the best at making jack-o-lanterns. This idea of a contest excited

You do not have to spend all night waiting in the neighborhood pumpkin patch to enjoy the wonderful fragrance of the Great Pumpkin. Sure, you can spend the night going from house to house hoping that your unlucky streak of receiving a bag full of rocks will end but why wait.

Small frozen crystals are falling from the sky, everything outside is white, it's winter. Gage, me, and Olivia are outside having fun in the snow on Saturday. Olivia had this great idea to make a giant snowman, so everyone started gathering snow for the bottom, middle, and top part of the snowman. Half an hour passed and they finally had all the body parts gathered up and put in one piece. I rushed at Gage and picked him up and threw him into the giant snowman.With a big crunch the snowman crumbled on top of Gage. There was a silence for about five seconds and then we all broke out in laughter.

Growing up in my family taught me that honesty is the best policy. When I would get into trouble as a child I would often try to lie to my mom thinking that would save me from being punished. I soon learned that lying would only get me into more trouble than I was already. Honesty has given me the reputation of
