Susan is only six this year. He parents are farmers who never had the opportunity of going to school when they were growing up. So now they can’t teach Susan anything besides farming.

The farm beside Susan’s parent’s farm there is a young boy living there. He began going to school last year and is now in Grade One. He come over and talks and plays with Susan after school. He often reads his school books aloud so that Susan can listen and repeat the words after him. Susan likes to read with him and also Tom the young boy teaches her to write and read and count up to one hundred. Susan’s parents are impressed with her ability to learn things off Tom so they try to save up so that they can send Susan to school.

The new school year started last month. Susan’s mother dresses her up in new clothes and her father took her off to start school. At first the teacher thought that Susan was too young to start school and advised her father to take her home. The farmer, I mean Susan’s father asked the teacher to ask his daughter some simple study questions. The teacher was immediately impressed with Susan after testing her and fell in love with her cuteness. So Susan became a school student of course.

Susan often tells her parents about her school life as she knows that they are very proud of her and like to hear about what happens at school. She thinks her teacher and classmates are really friendly to her.

Yesterday afternoon Susan came home with a big smile on her face. She told her parents, “I taught my teacher today!” “Really” her mother said in surprise. “I’m certain” her daughter said. “A student asked Miss Bell “What’s seven and four?” My math teacher said nothing but asked me to give the answer. I told both of them that it was eleven”

My Pet Huan Huan. Gu Hai Jun Class Grade 2

I have a dog, his name is Huan Huan. My father named him. If you saw a picture of my dog you would be very, very afraid of him. He looks like a little devil. When your nerves have calmed down you would then tell me that he’s super ugly. However I love my little super ugly little devil very much. We are the best of friends. Yeah, I know you’re going to tell me that I’m friends with the devil aren’t you?

He has black fur but there is a little white fur also like a bib just under his head like a small kid has to wear when being fed. His eyes are just like the devils. I mean they look wicked and hypnotic. He is so, so strong also, he is a really cool little devil don’t you think?

Huan Huan likes meal times very much. He has a ferocious appetite so he always eats a kilo of meal which is crushed grain. He seldom barks. If he barks then he is showing that he is really happy.

He like sports as he often plays ball. Also he likes to get outside onto the grass and race about. Most of all he likes to fight with another dog. The other dog belongs to a neighbor. It is a big dog, much bigger than Huan Huan; it all white, it’s a lovely dog also. Allow they fight a lot together they are still good friends. Kind of like a husband and wife.

One day while I was watching a film on the internet Huan Huan and his fighting partner had been enjoying another of their fights. However as normal they had run out of energy and called off their fight for the time being. FeiFie went off to the balcony to have her supper. Huan Huan came in and sat on the floor beside me and decided to watch the film with me. I thought that he enjoyed watching the film a lot as we sat there together until 10:00 PM that evening.

So now you know about the little devil that I share my life with. I like him very much and hope I never lose his friendship.

I am a witch but nobody knows my secret. I don’t want anyone finding out and telling my parents that I’m a witch. So you see I want to keep my identity secret.

When I was born the sky was black, you couldn’t see anything. No it wasn’t midnight but midday. My mother told me that on that day there were a lot of black cats around our home where I was born. My mother hadn’t gone to hospital to have me but had used a midwife. http://www.epigee.org/midwives.html Mom said that the cats came into where I was in bed and walked around the cot I had been put into, meowing. They kept this up all day long. I felt amazed when my mother told me these things. Why had the sky turned black? Why had the black cats meowed around my bed? I didn’t know why then.

When I was eight years old I found out something about myself. On that day I played with my friend lily. We were chasing each other in the park. I fell over and cut myself but then something strange occurred. The blood that spilled out from the cut on my leg was colored light blue. Lily and I were very surprised. Lily was very afraid so she ran away quickly.

Suddenly as if from nowhere, a woman appeared in front of me in the park. The woman was very pretty and was wearing special kinds of clothes. She said to me, “Come little chosen one. Come with me!” She took me to a special house. She sat down with me on a sofa and told me things about myself. “My dear chosen one I’ll tell you a secret. You are a witch, not just some ordinary girl. The best testimonial is that your blood is light blue. Each witch has light blue blood. You will grow up into a very beautiful witch. You will be much more beautiful than any of the other witches. You must remember that you are a witch. Not just a so, so ordinary witch but a great witch. You must be brave, serious and thoughtful. Don’t believe others easily and when someone is in need you must help him or her.” Wow, I thought what a different future I would have to most.

Before she disappeared before my eyes once again she told me, “You have the strongest witchcraft of all of us witches. Believe you can do better and you will. I believe my choice was right.” After she said this she was gone again in the same manner as she appeared in the park. From that day I knew that I was somewhat amazing. I decided that I would be the best of the best witches.

The next day I invited Lily to play with me again. However she was afraid of me and even called me a monster. She told me that she didn’t want to see me again and ran away. I went to play with the other children but all of them were now afraid of me. Lily had told all of them that I was probably an alien from space as I had blue blood. I felt very sad and somewhat angry. I began to chant incantations on all the children to delete their memories of my blue blood. So now nobody knows my secret again. I did however feel a little sorry for doing this.

I went for a walk again in the park to try and find the woman I had met before. Once again she appeared as if from nowhere. I told her what had happened with my school friends. She was very happy when I told her of my experience. “You are very clever. I couldn’t chant incantations until I was eleven years old.” Gee, so I am really special I thought. I didn’t want to start using my witchcraft more and more so I stayed away from others. Most of the students started to think that I was unconcerned about their lives and didn’t care about them. However I was concerned and I did often protect them without their knowledge.

Tomorrow is my 15th birthday and I will become a grade 10 student. There is an unopened parcel on my desk in my bedroom. I opened it and read a note that was inside the parcel. “Happy birthday my dear girl, here is a present for you. It’s a special bow and arrow; it isn’t a common bow and arrow. I believe that you will find that it to be of help in your life. You will find it useful so I think you will like it.” I picked it up and inspected it. It looked really cool. At least I thought so. I straight away fell in love with this special present. So now I had a weapon to defend myself with. I put it under my bed and then jumped into bed then quickly fell asleep.

Ah, today I have started at a new school as I’m now a grade 10 student. When I arrived at the school I felt a little unstable as I could see with witches’ eyes that there was an unusual amount of black fog around the school. I was sure that a lot of ghosts and monsters were resident here at this school. So I have some hard tasks ahead of me. As I went into the school I felt that someone was looking at me. I looked around but I couldn’t see anyone watching me. Anyway I carried my heavy school bag with me into school. I think I was just careless. I didn’t notice a pair of shiny black eyes belonging to a smiling face of a somewhat devilish boy.

Once I got into my new class I found that the other students were very noisy. I didn’t think I’d endure being with such students for long. But then I noticed a boy come into my class. He was tall and handsome. Most of the girls got red faces and started to whisper about him to each other. Wow, he is hot! So handsome! Gee, I could go for him! I want to be his girlfriend and similar comments. The boy smiled to them but sat down beside me. I don’t think I liked this kind of boy. I mean he must be self opinionated being so handsome and all. So I really don’t want to stay seated beside him.

The handsome boy smiled at me and said, “Hi pretty girl. What’s your name?” I looked at him but ignored him and said nothing. However he continued to smile at me. I had to admit but he was so handsome, he actually looked yummy. It was then that the grade school advisor came in. He looks somewhat uncomfortable though. I looked at him carefully meaning I can see into the other spirit demission. I observed that there was a ghost with it hands around his neck choking him only enough to make him feel terrible. I quietly chanted an incantation and the ghost vanished. I had eliminated the ghost and helped my teacher.

When the sky became black overhead and all the students have gone home I went ghost hunting. I took my special weapon to eliminate the ghosts and monsters that were making the school unpleasant to study in. I killed many that evening with my special arrows. In fact I think I have killed the lot. I didn’t however notice that once again I had been watched.

I felt glad with myself having cleaned up the ghosts and monsters around my school. But as I said I had been observed by someone that had been hiding in a tree. “He, he my dear witch you are very clever and so, so lovely. Yes you are a very special witch that I desire with all my heart.” After I had gone my admirer flew away into the night sky.

For a long time now my witchcraft has been getting stronger and stronger. I can always feel when someone is looking at me. Often when I turn around I’d see Van the handsome boy smiling at me. I don’t know why he was always smiling at me. Like I mean it is not as if I was close to him or showed interest in him. He was somewhat rude to the other girls; he showed no interest in them at all. However he is friendly to me. Most of the girl students are crazy over him but I’m not! But sometimes I admit that he is handsome and not just a little but very handsome.

One day I noticed black fog again at school. After school I went to find the monster or whatever was causing the appearance of the black fog. I looked around but couldn’t find anything. I started to look very carefully about, and then I noticed that someone was hiding behind a tree. It must be a very strong monster, “Come out” I yelled but he doesn’t confront me but flapped his wings and flew away quickly into the moonlight. I couldn’t see his face but I think he was very, very handsome. He had a pair of wings like bats have but much larger of course. I yelled out to him, “I will find you out.”

There will be a party next week at school. Students will dance together. Most of the girls are very excited about it. Of course students want to dance with partners that he or she likes.

The boring day arrived. Tonight we will hold the party in the playground as the weather is good and there is plenty of lighting. Many of the girls dress themselves up and wait for their princes; most but dream that Van will dance with them. We are allowed to dress how we like. So we wear special and beautiful clothes. Many boys come and invite me to dance with them. But I refuse them because I don’t like dancing and besides I can’t dance.

I want to find out the person that I saw after school that flew away. I wear my witch clothes. My clothes are very special and also beautiful. They are still very useful and proper. I can’t dance because most of the time I’m studying and practicing witchcraft. So you see I have no time for things like dancing. The reason why I think I will find that special person tonight is that I received a letter this morning saying, “Lovely witch I will be at the party. Can you find me? Your handsome boy admirer ha, ha!” I look at the crowd and look for someone unusual.

“Hi pretty girl. Do you want to dance with me?’ Van says as he approaches me. “Sorry I can’t ………..” Oh, don’t say can’t. Never mind I can teach you! Come on, believe that you can dance well” he says to me. We go hand in hand into the dance area. Many girls look at us and comment, “Oh my god! Van is going to dance with the beautiful witch. Van smiles at me as he teaches me to dance. Suddenly I vaguely see that he has a pair of wings under his Count Dracula costume. I can’t believe my eyes. I look at him again but I can’t see the wings again. Maybe my eyes are not so good tonight. He dances with me. I can’t get away from him so I will have to find the special person next time.

I sit on my bed perplexed. I can’t sleep well. Has Van got a pair of wings? I ask myself but I have no answer. Suddenly I notice a letter on my desk. I read it. Ha, ha my pretty girl. You couldn’t find me right. Maybe you know something right? Now I am sure the special person is Van.

Today I feel bored at school. I am waiting for the night. I want to know for sure who the person is.

It is dark; I am sitting on the grass. Suddenly I see that he is in front of me. “Hi lovely witch!” He comes to me. Oh my god, it is Van! But how is it that he has a pair of wings like a bat has? “Who are you?” I ask him. “I am a member of a devil family. So as you see I have a pair of wings like a giant bat would have if one existed. I am a good devil but.” “Why did you invite me here?” I ask him. “Because ……….” His faces become red. He speaks again. “I want that you know that I like you!” My own face now starts to get redder and redder. He continues, “I know that you are a real witch; a really special kind of witch also. You are different from the other witches. You are so pretty and unconcerned about being popular. I also think you are very lovely and clever. I like you very much girl.” My face is now redder than the reddest apple. I say to him, “I think you are very handsome. I can’t say the word (Love) like other girls would because I have an important mission. However I think I like you…….” He looks at me with a big smile on his face. He says to me, “Now you are my girlfriend!” He takes my hand and flaps his wings and I fly into the sky beside him.

I am now very happy. I am not alone any more in this world. I have a special and handsome boyfriend. Van a member of the devil family. I smile happily.
