THE ZOO
One day my parents toke me to a zoo that was far off in Red rock. Later I saw lot's of animals then I saw a lion it started getting angry it started to smash the cage and it broke free and escaped from it's cage it started to look for things to eat. Next the lion couldn't find anything to eat then the animal control came and shot a sleeping dart but it missed and that was there last one.
Then they told everyone to evacuate the place I started to run but then I stopped for a second and looked for the lion and I found it and it was in the deer pen it was sneaking on a deer to eat it. Finally I couldn't let the lion eat the deer so I had to act quick and then I started to look around then I asked if they had any meat to feed the lion they said yes.
So they gave me one to me then I ran close enough to the lion it heard me and started to look at me and it saw the meat then it started to chase me I ran as fast as I could then.
I threw the meat in the cage the lion ran after it when it was finally in the cage I shut the door and locked it and everybody started to cheer then the manager saw the brave thing that I did and said to me from now on each time I go there with my family and me I get to go there for free. The End

I was in my normal spot next to the laptop when suddenly Danny picks me up with a firm grip on me I knew that we were going to get to work today. He pushes me to the paper and starts to write also sometimes it hurts when he makes a period because he pushes me really hard on the paper. Also when he makes the w it feels like I am on a roller coaster going up and down all the time. Uh-oh Danny has made a mistake and is about to use my eraser he flips me over and puts my eraser on the paper it burns each time he uses the eraser and I can see the little crumbs left after he was done using it later Danny was using me to write when all of a sudden my led broke he toke me to the sharpener were I am going to get a hair cut were I am going to get my point again for I can write once more he puts me in and after a little while later I am once again sharp and ready to write.

A Mesoamerican civilization

The main thing about the Mesoamerican Civilization is that they grew maze, beans, and other crops. Also they constructed monuments, pyramids, and ceremonial centers. They were also astronomers, mathematicians, priests, and farmers. The Aztec civilization was the last great civilization in Mesoamerica. They also based their economy on farming. They also built a great empire. But to me the major thing about the Mesoamerican Civilization is that they grew maze, beans, and other crops.
