The wind howled like a banshee, the thunder rolled, and the lightning drew
zigzag lines across the sky. With the sights and sounds of the thunderstorm
cloaking his room, Charlie awoke from his night’s sleep. As he peeked out from
under the covers, a dark, shifting shadow appeared on the wall of his room.

The pioneer family members piled into the wagon and left behind the safety and
security in the East. They had cut the lifeline that connected them to all the

water when they were thirst, and protected them against the dangers that lurked
all around them. Everyone in the family agreed. Grandfather was a rock.

One of the ways we can improve life on planet Earth is to use more solar energy.
The sun’s solar power is a cleaner form of energy than fossil fuels, such as
coal and petroleum. If our sights are firmly fixed on using solar energy,
Earth’s pollution will decrease. The atmosphere will be clearer, global warming
will slow down, and fewer animals will lose their habitats as people search for
new oil supplies. Definitely, solar energy is a ray of sunshine for our planet.

The girls were playing in the pond, splashing each other and trying to catch
fish with their hands. They were having fun, but kept looking over their
shoulders at the looming forest. The long grass of the field kept moving and
they sort of felt like they were being watched… About a half hour passed and
still the girls kept checking the field for movements. It seemed like a pair of
dark eyes was on them. They even considered going back inside, but that would
mean homework time. So they continued splashing, but with caution now. Their
eyes hardly left the field.

Finally, one of the girls pointed to the grass and giggled. "Meow!" A cat sat on
the edge of the field and licked its paw. They did indeed have company. The
girls ran over to the cat and pet his belly. They laughed and the cat sauntered
back to the field.
