Small Things Matter

By

Grade 3

It all started on a rosy, light Monday morning. I had sneaked into my brother’s room. I had tiptoed towards the neat and cleaned night stand. I opened up the front drawer to find …his, mechanical pencils.

Every day, I had the routine of stealing two pencils and then heading for school. Finally, after five days, my brother asked, “Did you steal my pencils? Ten, If my calculations were correct.”

I get a good glimpse at him. I take the courage to say “May be?”

My brother cried as if he wanted to be seen. I explained to him that I brought them to my friends. “I will give them back on Monday.”

“Fine!” He said, “But they better be back on Monday.” By the way, do you know how expensive these pencils are?” I had no idea. Soon enough it was Monday. As soon as I hopped aboard the bus, I thought – small things matter!

Krisha

Grade 3

There once lived a girl names Krisha. She lived near the desert. There was a huge drought going on. They desperately needed water. She lived with her parents and had a stuffed animal named Elle. It was an elephant she loved playing with.

One night, she heard a noise. She went outside to see what it was. Surprisingly, Krisha saw a huge elephant right outside her house. She stared in amazement. She tried to run away.  
“WAIT! I just want to help you,” said the elephant.
 “Okay then can you help me please find water?” Krisha replied.
The elephant said that there might be a stream somewhere in the forest, so she followed the elephant. It took her to a forest where they saw a tiger. She quickly climbed on the elephant, because she was super terrified.

Then Krisha saw the tiger chasing them. She told the elephant to run. ”DO NOT TURN AROUND!” she shouted. The elephant ran as fast as it could. Once they lost sight of the tiger, the elephant took her deeper in the forest. She saw a huge lake. Then they went back home and told everyone about the lake. Everyone drank the water from the lake and lived happily ever after.  They no longer had tongues that were as dry as the desert.
