Island Life
- I was walking my dog, Scout, on the beach when I saw the new kid from my class. He did not look happy.
- “Hey,” I said. “We met at school. My name is Mattie. You’re Joseph, right?”
- He looked at me. “Huh? Oh yeah. I remember you from school.” He frowned. “How can you stand to live here?”
- What? How could he not know that this was one of the best places in the world? “What do you mean?” I asked.
- “There is nothing to do here! My family and I moved here from Charlotte. Now there is a place with a lot to do!” said Joseph.
- “How about coming with Scout and me on our walk? I can show you some of the sights. You might change your mind.”
- “That sounds boring. I already know there’s nothing to see here.”
- “Aw, come on,” I said. “I know all the best places!”
- Joseph frowned. “Okay, but I know I’m not going to like it here,” he said.
10. I smiled at him and led the way. I just knew once I showed him around, he’d see why this place was so special. “See those tall grasses there? Those are sea oats. They . . . wait! Look, Joseph!”
11. A couple of the “Banker” ponies came into view. They are called “Bankers” because they live along the Outer Banks islands.
12. “Whoa,” said Joseph. “They just run around?”
13. “Yes! Oh, look, Joseph, by your feet. Sea glass!” Joseph picked up a clear blue piece of glass, worn smooth by the sea.
14. “This is cool,” he said as he studied it.
15. “That color is hard to find, too. I think it is a good luck sign for you.”
16. “Really?” said Joseph, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. “That would be great. Do you think we can find more?”
17. “Let’s keep walking and see,” I said.

Joey’s Grandma
Nathan and Megan were washing the dishes when their dad came into the kitchen.
“I have some bad news,” he said. “Joey fell while riding his bike today, and he has a broken leg.” Joey was a friend of theirs who lived down the street.
“Oh, no!” Megan cried. “Can we do anything to help?”
“You could take some of these muffins you made to Joey and his grandmother,” Dad said. Nathan and Megan exchanged a fast look. Dad did not seem to notice.
“Can we do anything else instead?” Nathan asked.
“Don’t be silly. Here, I’ve made up a plate,” Dad said, handing them a covered plate. Nathan and Megan took the plate and began to walk slowly to Joey’s house.
“Maybe his grandmother won’t be home,” Nathan said hopefully.
“Of course she’ll be home. He has a broken leg,” Megan said with a sigh. “But Joey says she’s nice.”
“She always looks so mean and grumpy,” Nathan said. They approached the door shyly, and Megan knocked. After a moment, the door swung open. An older woman stood in the doorway, her face downturned in a frown. Nathan gulped.
“I’m Nathan, and this is my sister Megan,” Nathan said in a rush.
“Here, we brought muffins,” Megan added, holding up the plate with a trembling hand.
“Why, how nice! I’ve been wanting to meet Joey’s friends! He’s talked so much about you,” the woman said. As she spoke, her frown disappeared, and she smiled widely. All the meanness disappeared, and Nathan and Megan realized that they had been wrong about her all along. They relaxed and knew it would be a fun visit.
