The Five Silly Bears

Silly 5: What a nice day! I like being here at the pond.
Silly 2: I do, too. Everything went well. We had a very good time. But we came here to catch fish, and none of us caught any.
Silly 5: I know. But it’s time to go home. Mother will be worried.
Silly 1: Yes, it’s getting dark—too dark to see all of us.
Silly 3: Well, I know that I’m here. Do you think something happened to one of us?
Silly 5: Well. I don’t. I’ll count us and see if one of us is missing. Here goes: one, two, three, four.
Silly 3: Oh, no! There were five of us when we came to the pond. You have counted only four.
Silly 2: A Silly Bear is missing.
Silly 4: Boohoo! Boohoo! One Silly Bear fell into the pond. What should we do?
Silly 2: We’ll have to pull him out!
Silly 3: Wait, let me think. Maybe you didn’t count every bear, Silly Five.
Silly 5: Yes, I did!
Silly 3: Well then, who’s missing?
Silly 1: Not me. And not you. It has to be a bear who isn’t here.
Silly 2: Look, here comes fox. He’s smart. Let’s ask him for help.
Silly 4: Fox can’t help us. We need someone strong to help us pull a Silly Bear out of the pond. Boohoo! Boohoo!
Fox: Why are you crying, you silly Bear?
Silly 4: One of us is missing, Fox! One of us fell into the pond.
Silly 5: Well, maybe. We know that when we came here, there were five Silly Bears. Now we count only four.
Silly 1: I’d like to find the missing Silly Bear, but I can’t see a thing!
Silly 4: We have to pull that Silly Bear out of the pond.
Fox: Wait, who did the counting?
Silly 5: I did.
Fox: Count again, Silly Bear Five. This time I’ll watch you.
Silly 5: One, two, three, four.
Silly 4: See Fox? We told you so. There are only four of us. Boohoo!
Fox: Wait, Silly Bear Four! There’s nothing to cry about. But there may be something to laugh about.
Silly 4: Something to laugh about? Have you found the missing Silly Bear?
Fox: No one is missing. Watch me count. One, two, three, four, five.
Silly 3: Five bears! When Silly Five counted, he counted only four bears!
Silly 5: Where did you find the missing bear? Did you pull him out of the pond? Or did I forget someone?
Fox: You forgot someone, Silly Five. When you counted, you forgot to count yourself!
Silly 5: Oh, that was silly of me.
Silly 1: Well, now that Fox has shown us that we are all here, we can go home.
All the bears: Thanks for find us, Fox. Good-bye!
Fox: Good-bye, you very Silly Bears. And don’t forget this, Silly Five. When counting Silly Bears, count yourself, too!
Silly 5: OK, Fox. You can count on me!

Super Doo Saves His Math Class on St. Patrick’s Day

By Abed Hamdan, age 10

There once was a boy named You Leave Me Alone who could not see the color blue. In its place, he only saw the color pink.

You Leave Me Alone, who also went by the nickname “Super Doo,” really hated math. His math teacher, Miss Annoying, wanted to keep Super Doo in her class forever, so she would give him math homework written in blue on pink paper. When Super Doo took his homework home, he only saw a blank pink piece of paper.

Miss Annoying had a pink face, pink hair, a blue dress with dark blue polka dots, and she always wore blue lipstick and blue eyeshadow. Miss Annoying made the class wear pink, and she dyed the class gerbil, Pinky, pink too. And her classroom was ENTIRELY blue, so when Super Doo went to class all he saw was pink, pink, pink and more pink.

There was another huge problem. Whenever he saw TOO MUCH pink (like every day in math class) Super Doo would turn into the Incredible Pinky Punk, who was like the Incredible Hulk, only he was pink and made it his mission to destroy ALL THINGS PINK. He knew that if he wanted to save his classmates and pet gerbil he would have to wear glasses that would tint everything green. Otherwise everyone would be destroyed.

So, Incredible Pinky Punk went to a leprechaun world where everything was green and bought some magical green glasses at the eyewear store.

His glasses saved his classmates, his gerbil, and Miss Annoying too. And everyone lived happily ever after (but Super Doo Knew that if Miss Annoying bothered him he could take off his glasses and bring back the Incredible Pink Punk).
