The Class Party

The classes at Riverdale Elementary School always have a party at the end of the school year. The room is always decorated very nicely, and the children have a lot of delicious food at the party. This year, the third grade teacher, Mrs. Smith, says everyone has to bring something from home. “You all have to bring food, decorations, drinks, or utensils from home,” she tells them.

“Do our parents have to cook the food?” asks one of the students.

“No,” answers Mrs. Smith. “They don’t have to. They can buy it from the store.”

“Do our parents have to come?” another student asks.

“No,” answers Mrs. Smith. “They don’t have to. But, it will be nicer with them here.”

“Do we have to bring presents for you?” another student asks.

Mrs. Smith is shy. “Of course, you don’t have to.”

Next, Mrs. Smith hands out a piece of paper. “You have to write the thing you are bringing on this,” she tells them.

The students write things on the paper.

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.
