Making a Tooth Wish!<br />

"I was 7 years old when I first traveled in a different country<br />

with my family. I was so happy, especially when we visited<br />

a carnival in Singapore. I was enjoying the carnival rides but<br />

later that evening, my tooth unexpectedly started to hurt. It<br />

was very painful and I started to cry. When I touched my front<br />

tooth, it was moving badly and I began to panic. I was on<br />

vacation and I didn't want to lose my tooth! My main concern<br />

was how was I going to smile for the photos if my upper tooth<br />

was missing? In the middle of my loud tantrum in the carnival<br />

park, I felt a crack. My tooth fell out. Dad and Mom comforted<br />

me and told me that I still looked good even without my front<br />

tooth. A Filipino tradition is to throw your baby tooth on a roof<br />

and make a wish. So as I was throwing it, I made a wish that<br />

my new tooth would grow in fast. Looking back at our photos, I<br />

was still smiling but without my front tooth." Melissa Del Rosarin<br />

Watch Out for Snakey<br />

"When I was young, I started to have a great fear of snakes. It all<br />

started with a small conversation with my cousin. She told me a<br />

story about a little girl who was locked in a washroom all alone.<br />

When people came back for her, the little girl was gone but they<br />

found a very huge snake. The snake had swallowed her entire<br />

body. This story horrified me! I developed a real phobia of snakes<br />

and had a hard time sleeping some nights. I knew if I saw one, I'd<br />

panic and run away. After a few months, my cousin told me the<br />

story wasn't true and that they made it up to tease me. I learned I<br />

shouldn't believe everything people tell me and some jokes aren't<br />

very funny." Melissa Del Rosario<br />

The Big Competition<br />

"My primary school competed in an annual drum and lyre competition. Our<br />

school was always the champion back then. My parents signed me up to<br />

play the lyre. The training was really tough and as one of the newbies to<br />

the group, I was getting a lot of attention to help me learn. I love music but<br />

for some reason it doesn't come easily for me. After two weeks of hard<br />

training, I felt like giving up. I felt embarrassed in front of other students<br />

who easily learned the lyre rhythms. One day my trainer got impatient<br />

with me and I cried because I couldn't play the tune. Thankfully the trainer<br />

talked with me and told me that I didn't need to do the lyre part. He trained<br />

me to be a baton dancer who front-lines the team. And yes! I excelled in it!<br />

After months of practicing, we won the competition!" Melissa Del Rosario<br />

My Little Bonsai Tree<br />

"My dad gave me a bonsai tree as a gift. He told me to take care of it so it would<br />

grow strong. I really loved my bonsai. I put it in the front porch so it would get<br />

enough sunlight. I checked the tree everyday after school and watered it carefully.<br />

I stared at it and wanted it to grow fast. I carried it inside the house sometimes<br />

because I didn't want anything bad to happen to it at night. After a week, I felt that<br />

the branches had more leaves. I guess I was doing a great job with my little bonsai<br />

tree. After more than a month doing the same routine, my bonsai tree looked pale.<br />

I tried to water it more but it wasn’t working. Soon my bonsai tree lost its glow and<br />

started to die. I was so sad because I did my best to take care of it. But l realized<br />

some things just don't turn out the way you planned." Melissa Del Rosario b<br />

CLEVER STORIES THEY WROTE!<br />

Beastly<br />

creature alien<br />

by McKell, Age 12<br />

Illustrated by Christy Schollen<br />

Once upon a time in a secret laboratory, some<br />

scientists were testing to see if it was possible to<br />

turn a potato into an apple. But the experiment<br />

took a wrong turn and instead they created a new<br />

alien species.<br />

The alien jumped and took off running and<br />

headed straight to the escape pod. He only made<br />

it about 100 ft before security were alerted and<br />

came rushing in. The alien flew the escape pod<br />

and got about 150 feet in the air when security<br />

jumped in their ships to try and catch him.<br />

I've got to get in space and find a new planet<br />

to take over!" said the alien creature. "They can't<br />

catch me!"<br />

"Fly faster! Don't let him get away!" yelled the<br />

scientists.<br />

"We can’t let it escape the fire rage!" exclaimed<br />

the head of security.<br />

The escape pod lit on fire and the alien creature<br />

said, "I'll have to jump and hope for the best. I'll<br />

aim for the planet with the moon." So he jumped,<br />

but he made it farther than he thought. The alien<br />

creature saw more planets<br />

and stars than ever<br />

before. He landed on the<br />

red planet.<br />

"Where am I?" said<br />

the creature. "This is a<br />

beautiful place but I need a bigger<br />

planet to live on." He searched for<br />

a bigger planet.<br />

Then he saw the sun, but he<br />

didn't know what it was and<br />

thought it was just another<br />

planet. He saw fire and lava and<br />

changed his mind about living<br />

there. He searched different<br />

galaxies, planets, stars and rocks<br />

hoping to find a perfect place to<br />

build and rise above. Then he found<br />

Super Earth.<br />

"Perfect! It is miles and miles<br />

away from that planet that I escaped<br />

from," said the creature alien. So he<br />

headed for Super Earth. But then<br />

out of nowhere came a spacecraft.<br />

The creature alien was frozen in fear,<br />

worried and nervous. The space craft<br />

was in the shape of a pig—a huge pig!<br />

And inside were space pigs. The pigs<br />

wanted to help the alien creature get to<br />

Super Earth where they were from and<br />

see if he was fine living there with them.<br />

After speaking with each other for a little<br />

while, the creature alien said, "That sounds like<br />

the kind of planet I am looking for. I was hoping<br />

to find it and now I have. I'll live there with you<br />

pigs."<br />

While they were flying, the creature alien<br />

noticed in space a whole truckload of different<br />

animal species. "Where did they all come<br />

from?" he asked the pigs.<br />

16 baZoof!


"They came from experiments like you, they had<br />

a hard time escaping so me and my fellow pigs<br />

invented Super Earth to help them. Some came<br />

from Area 51," said the King pig. "In fact there<br />

still could be new helpless aliens in Area 51." The<br />

creature was shocked to hear that.<br />

"So what's your name boy? I'm King Tristan and<br />

I have created this planet for those who need a<br />

place to build and rise above. But you can move<br />

and find a different place to live if you like," said<br />

King Tristan.<br />

The alien creature said, "I like it here, and my<br />

name is Beastly." They soon landed on Super<br />

Earth and Beastly met lots of new alien species.<br />

He became friends with everyone. He met a<br />

space cow, a horse, a chicken, and every other<br />

space farm animal.<br />

Beastly's favorite friend was Jaxen, the space<br />

wolf. They built a kingdom together and became<br />

best friends. b THE END<br />

HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES!<br />

For this edition of Point Shot, let’s<br />

take a look at all the amazing rookies<br />

we have this year because I cannot<br />

remember a season where we've had<br />

as many great rookies. The season<br />

was supposed to be all about McDavid<br />

and Eichel but because of McDavid’s<br />

injury and how well other rookies have<br />

played, it has not been.<br />

DEFYING HISTORY.<br />

by Tremayne<br />

On defense we have Gostisbehere for the Flyers who has 34 points in 41<br />

games and Ristolainen for the Sabres who has 35 points on 60 games.<br />

These guys are big deals considering they are having better seasons than<br />

last year’s Calder Trophy winner (Rookie of the Year) Ekblad who had only<br />

39 points in 81 games as a defenseman for Florida!<br />

In the forward position, we have Larkin who<br />

has 39 points in 59 games for Detroit, Eichel<br />

and Domi have 41 points in 60 games and<br />

Panarin has 57 points in 60 games—good<br />

enough for the sixth most points in the NHL!<br />

Let’s not forget about McDavid who has 27<br />

points in 23 games, which is 1.17 points per<br />

game—second most in the NHL only behind<br />

Patrick Kane! I think it’s safe to say we are<br />

going to be seeing these boys at the top of<br />

the NHL points list in the near future.<br />

Who do you think will win the Calder trophy this year? Panarin?<br />

Gostisbehere? McDavid? Right now I think it will be Panarin but it<br />

could be Gostisbehere. Let me know what you think and why! b<br />

THE SUNSET<br />

by Jana Age 13<br />

When I look outside and the sun is just about to set,<br />

And the moon is about to come back and pay its debt,<br />

I see a beautiful array of colors that include yellow, purple and red.<br />

As I turn my head, I see the sun like a little ball of yellow thread.<br />

When I look upon the glamorous sky, I imagine that I can fly.<br />

I am so satisfied with the view, that I let out a gentle sigh.<br />

Then I hear the birds sing so beautifully in symphony,<br />

And I hear the crickets loudly go creek, creek continuously.<br />

I then realize that it is finally time to go inside.<br />
