Wise Men
I have not no idea where bethlaham
Bethelehem is. I guess the wise men must of been
pretty wise to find it.
When the baby Jesus was born, there was a
brite bright light in the sky. It was a good star,
the prechure preacher says. The kings and the
wise men followd foulled chased it.
Last night me and Jojo saw a fire that lit up
the dark. It was a not good very bad sign. Scary.
No angles angels showed up in the sky, and nobody
sang any pretty carols.
The only wise men I saw were in my mama’s
kitchen.
Stella could think of nothing more to say. She frowned. She started to
raise her hand to ask for help, but Mrs. Grayson was busy with the third
graders, who seemed to be having no trouble at all with their writing
projects.
Dunce! She ripped the page out of her notebook, balled it up, and put
her head down on her desk.
When Mrs. Grayson stopped by to check on Stella with a gentle hand
on her shoulder, Stella mumbled something about a stomachache, and
the teacher left her alone the rest of the afternoon.
