Getting Ready for the Test

 By Nate Feldman

 Mr. Ericson got to class shortly before 7 AM.  It was the day of the final exam for his 10th grade history students at Middlewood High. 

The students came to class around 7:30.  The test was starting at 8 AM.  "I hope everyone is getting ready for the exam," Mr. Ericson told the students. 

"I'm getting so nervous," said Andy McPeake.  "This exam is going to be hard."

"I'm not getting so nervous," said Mathilda Williams.  "I am so nervous!" 

Mr. Ericson smiled at his students.  "Take it easy," he told them.  "You will all get good grades if you studied hard." 

"I need to get a good grade," said John Burrell.  "I want to get a good job.  I want to get good money.  I want to get a good house."

"OK, OK," said Mr. Ericson.  "You will get it all.  Just get out your pencils and get ready.  We are going to get started with the test soon."

Someone Took My Wallet By Nate Feldman It is a normal day at the police station. Officer Richards is sitting behind his desk. He is having a cup of coffee and taking it easy. Suddenly, a man comes into the station. He is distressed. “Officer,” he says. “Someone took my wallet.” “OK,” the officer says. “Where did this happen?” “I was taking the train to work,” the man says. “When I got off the train, my wallet wasn’t there. Someone took it.” “OK,” says officer Richards. “Are you sure someone took it? Maybe it fell out.” “No, there was a man taking the train with me. He ran into me. He put his hands on me and said he was sorry. I think he took the wallet then .” “ OK,” replies officer Richards. “Did you take a picture of him with your phone or something?” “No, unfortunately not,” answers the man. “This case may take time to solve then,” says officer Richards.
