The Random Story About The Amazing Duck

Auggie was no ordinary kid. That is if you don't see his face because Auggie had mandibulofacial dysostosis. Mandibulofacial dysostosis is basically a facial issue which makes your face deformed. Auggie had many friends but people were still mean. Now first up let me explain who I am. I am a duck. Yes you heard me a duck.I am an invisible duck who floats around the world making sure people are safe. There are many of us around the world. Maybe just maybe one is watching you right now. Whenever one of our ducks find someone in serious trouble we change peoples minds to possibly help the person. Well one day I was watching Auggie with his friend Jack going home from school. Just after Jack headed home some guy called Julian snuck up and tried to beat up Auggie. At that very moment I teleported to Jack and made him go help Auggie. When Jack got there Julien was surprised that Jack came back because he saw him go into his house. Then out of no where a squid the size of a human came flying down from the sky and knocked out Julien.

“Yeah” said Jack and Auggie.

What the heck was that. Now if you haven't realised I changed super squid mind to go and cause more chaos. After that Auggie and Jack went home and they both told their family about the squid. Jack’s parents did not believe him but Auggie’s did, but only because Auggie brought home the human size squid home thinking he could cook it. Auggie’s mum was horrified when she saw the squid and fainted. Auggies sister cracked up with laughter and called her boy friend Justin to come and cook it up on the BBQ. When Justin got here he karate chopped the squid and it blasted off into space and they all lived happily ever after. (Except for Julien who was still knocked out).

The Little Red Hed

A little red hen found a wheat seed. She decided to plant it. She asked a cat, a fox and a pig to help her.

“I can’t help,” said the cat.

“I’m too busy,” answered the fox.

“I've got too much to do,” replied the pig.

The little red hen dug a hole. She dropped the seed into it. She covered it. The seed grew in to a fine stalk of wheat. The little red hen reaped the wheat. She ground the wheat into flour. She mixed this with water in a bowl and made dough. She put this into a baking dish. She put the dish into the oven. When the loaf was baked she didn’t share the bread with the cat, fox and pig. She and her chick ate it. They asked her how it tasted. She told them that it was delicious.
