Oaks Park

"THE DISKO" I'm farthest on the left.

Yesterday, my family went to an amusement park called Oaks Park--it's the big library summer reading reward. It was really hot, but still fun. The first thing I went on was a roller coaster with a loop-the-loop and lots of bumps and sideways parts. Then I went on a ride shaped kind of like a "u". It want back and forth while spinning. The next one was the best. It was a round platform with an eight foot wall around it. You stood against the wall with barely any safety straps or anything. Then it got spinning really fast and tilted to a 70 degree angle, so sometimes you felt like you were laying on the ceiling of a room. The force of the spinning motion was all that was keeping you from falling 50 feet. It was awesome. There were several other rides, but the only other cool one was called the Screamin' Eagle. It was like a big pendulum, and you sat on a diskish thing at the bottom. It started spinning and swinging back and forth. The ride had the capability to swing all the way around, but it never did. It got pretty close, though. Overall, it was four and a half stars.

I wrote this one several years ago, so bare with me.

Long ago in The Forest of Holidays, in the den of the Easter Bunnies, every one was getting ready for Easter.

Not only was it their favorite holiday, not only was it the next day, but there was an even more exiting reason to work so hard. This was the year the grand bunny would decide who would be the next grand bunny!

Suddenly a loud voice announced, “I have decided the next grand bunny!” Everyone turned to look at the Grand Bunny, with his spectacles and long white whiskers.

He continued in his wise old voice, “However, I can’t find him, so I picked another one. Alas, the other rabbit is gone as well! So I’ve decided someone has to find them, and that will be Billy Bunny. Here is a picture of them.”

Billy Bunny nervously stepped forward and took the picture from the Grand Bunny’s paw.

“Where do you suggest I look first, oh wise bunny?” asked Billy in his soft, shaking voice.

“In the opposite day pool might help,” answered the Grand Bunny. “When you get there, dive in and you’ll be in opposite land. Then find the opposite Easter Bunny den. They should be there.”

“I’m on my way!” said Billy Bunny, a lot braver now.

“Be careful Billy, the opposite Easter Bunnies hate Easter, and everything else we stand for!”

“Got it, sir.” Said Billy, and of he went.

Ten minutes later, Billy arrived. “OK, here goes.” He said as he closed his eyes and jumped. SPLASH! A shock of icy water surrounded him. Then, THUD! He hit the ground.

He opened his eyes. He was lying on the ground by the opposite opposite lake. “Attack!” screamed a soft voice. The next thing Billy Bunny knew, he was blindfolded and tied to a tree.

“Now you will never save Ronald Rabbit and Jackie Jump!” Said the voice. His attackers left him, cold, wet, tied up and confused.

He regained his senses and began at once to work on the knots. “Finally! I escaped from the ropes!”

Billy looked around him. He was at the mouth of the opposite Halloween cave. He turned around. What he thought was a tree was, well, a tree with a face that was asleep. “You OK, Billy?” a voice came out of nowhere.

Billy looked into the caves again. His eyes adjusted to the dark. He saw two rabbits tied to the ceiling.

It was Ronald and Jackie!

Billy quickly ran over and untied them. “How did you know my name?” He asked.

“Easy!” they answered.

“You see,” They continued, “being the Grand Bunny’s right and left paw bunnies, he gave us this task. We were sent to test the new grand bunny’s courage!”

“I’m the new grand bunny?!” exclaimed the exited Billy.
“Yeah, so you better get ready, you have a lot of eggs to hide tomorrow!

THE END

What do you think?

Mr. Monk

Monk is the name of the awesomest t.v. show ever. The cover of season one says it all:
Obsessive
Compulsive
Detective
It is basically a show about a detective that has OCD, a photographic memory, and about 100 phobias. It is really funny and interesting and scary etc. Mr. Monk solves a murder mystery in every episode, weather the crime happened the day he gets there or three years before. It is really awesome.

Has anyone else ever heard of it? Does anyone think they know of a better t.v. show?
