The Busy Season

Chapter I

The Harvest on the Farm

It was April 24^th. Annie’s family was the busiest of all. Father had to hunt, so he can’t work. Mother picked vegetables from the garden. Annie collected honey from their beehive. Annie’s little brother and sister, John and Anna, were picking apples, hazelnuts, blueberries and potatoes.

Annie headed to the warehouse. The warehouse was old and rusty and full of boxes and cobwebs. Annie poured the honey in a huge honey jar. Then, she came out to harvest the wheat.

Anna went in the warehouse next. She put the things she harvested in a bag and went out to shear the sheep. John came after that. He put the things he harvested in the same bag and went out to collect eggs.

Father came back from hunt with 3 fresh deer and 1 juicy lion in a sack. He put the sack in the warehouse and went out to the market. Mother was last. She poured the vegetables in a box and went out to harvest the grapes. They made a list of what was inside the warehouse:

  

• o   5 warm bread loafs
• o   5 soft pillows
• o   5 eggs
• o   5 grapes
• o   5 grape juice pots
• o   5 fresh deer
• o   5 cheese
• o   5 milk pots
• o   5 light bulbs
• o   5 groceries
• o   5 warm scarfs
• o   5 flour bags
• o   5 wheat stalks

Anna noticed there were 5 of everything. She asked John, Annie, mother and Father if they could work some more. Annie, John and Anna worked together to fill up the warehouse. They made it just in time. The list was like this:

• o   10 warm bread loafs
• o   30 soft pillows
• o   15 eggs
• o   18 grapes
• o   6 grape juice pots
• o   5 fresh deer
• o   50 cheese
• o   6 milk pots
• o   100 light bulbs
• o   50 groceries
• o   5 warm scarfs
• o   15 flour bags
• o   30 wheat stalks

The next morning was the 1^st of June. It was cold. Father went to the attic and grabbed 10 heaters. He turned them on and placed them in the 4 bedrooms, bathroom, living room, warehouse and kitchen, attic and the hall. He turned them on at WARM. He got the whole family to meet in the living room wearing scarfs, a big warm quilt and snugly sweaters. They rested their heads on soft pillows. Annie, John and Anna, although they were big, brought their teddy bears in. It was so lovely.

Eddie run a farm

Eddie, Ken, Thomas and John were playing at Eddie’s house. The yard was huge and roomy. So, Eddie started a farm. He planted wheat first. Then, it was processed into flour. He sold it and bought 3 chickens and 1 sheep. He sheared his sheep next. He sewed it and turned it into wool. Then, he turned them into woolly clothes. Polly, his neighbor, would help him every day. The clothes earned enough to buy 1 cow, apple seeds, and juice pots and to build 1 factory. The factory had 4 rooms: Juice, cake, clothes and a shop. They made apple juice, clothes, and bread to sell. They got $49.99. They kept it in the cellar under the stairs. It was enough to make a second floor. They added Meat, Rice, Vegetable Soup

Feeding Time!

I own a doll. It is a blue bear. I call him Blu. Do you like it too?

I have 3 more bears. I call one of them Lambert, another one Charlie, and the last Big Bear.

I drew a picture on Paint. But... the picture has only Blu and Charlie going on a hike. Oh well. Hahaha, :-)

All of them like to eat fish, honey, blueberries, bread, honey cake, blueberry ice-cream, and chicken meat, except  Big Bear, who likes fresh cranberries and fish ice-cream...yuck!

Anyway,they are fed in the morning, afternoon, evening, and night of course. Which of them didn't? They like   mangoes a lot, so for nighttime dessert, ya, it is always mango pudding. And this is the result of the picture of 'em hiking on burnt rocks:

Blu Berry

Eastern Bluebird

Billy was a bluebird who lived with his mother on a nest in an old oak tree. The oak tree stood in the forest edge. One day, in the after on a blustery day, Billy came back from searching for the insects. He was so surprised of the sight, as a pale blue round pulled a little bit circle, sat on their nest. Billy thought that it was an egg. 
"Mummy, is that an egg?" he asked.
"Yes" She replied
"and that means you will get a baby brother or sister" She added.
What shall we named it was the next question. If it was a boy..., if it was a girl...
"Berry!" Billy shouted.
If it was a girl, Berry was her name. If it was a boy...
Mum had an idea.
"Blu!" Mum shouted.
Billy already had Blackies, his big sister, that he sometimes called her Blackbird. And now he will have a new baby. Billy was so excited.
Soon after naming was done, Mum saw the egg was hatching. Out came 2 very wet bluebirds. Billy had twins! Later, Billy went to see Mum. He was very happy to see the baby bluebirds. Blu and Berry.

Grape grower

A skinny man named Edward Jones was a grape cafe keeper. People come from miles around or come again and again and again to eat his grapes because he was the best grape grower there was. One day the king of Spain asked him,
" Edward, may I have a grape cake please?"
"Of course", Edward said. 
In an hour, the cake was done. It was a nice smelling cake that has grape jam,grape cream and grape sprinkles. No fruit but grape. The best tasting, of course. 
Minnie, his daughter, wanted to use some strawberries, but when she asked Edward if they could use some strawberries, he said,
"This is a grape cafe, not a strawberry cafe."

Minnie's mother worked at a stall too. A stall that sold tea and biscuits. Biscuits of all sorts of flavors. Minnie helps over there too. She does biscuits,while her mother gets tea ready. It takes 10 minutes alone, but only 5 minutes together with mommy's other assistants, Poly and Wendy. They wanted another assistant, so they put up a poster saying they want another helper. 1 week with father,the next week with mom. 

Back at the grape cafe, daddy needed a helper too,so they did the same with mom, putting up a poster saying they need a helper and putting that beside mom's poster on the poster pole. A lady named Lulu Lebert joined mom. A man named Michael Mostel, a woman named Poppy Parlos and a man named Carlos Combat joined dad. So Minnie gets to see more people at work. Eventually, Minnie had a day off from work on Saturday and Sunday. Both stalls are closed on Sunday, so they all are together on Sunday. Costello, Minnie's little brother, also did both part time jobs, so they had a lot of a helping hands. Poppy was told to help grow the grapes. Poppy can't grow grapes really, but can grow blueberries and other berries. Now Minnie is getting impatient to get with mom. She was keen to use strawberries and lemons. Mom is going to start selling lemonade on hot days too. Grape, grape, grape and grape is all dad was using. He can cook and bake cakes, but he only used grapes. He is not keen to use fruits other than grape.

There are only grape trees in Edward's garden. Anyway, one day Minnie brought dad to mom's stall for lunch. Dad ordered grape muffins, grape ice-cream and grape smoothie with grape syrup. Mom and Minnie, plus Poly, Wendy, Lulu and Costello made a plan. Minnie will bring Dad to Mom's 

Question day

The queen butterfly sat on a leaf. The king bee sat on a flower. Princess dragonfly asked them,
"Why do you sat there like that?" She asked in a pure voice.
"We are waiting for prince caterpillar and he is late!" they answered.
"Where is he? Pricetilaisia is waiting for him too". Princess dragonfly told them.
"What is he doing?" asked a bird, who flew down and hungrily licking his lips.
"Run all bugs, by order of the king! Shouted the king bee.
"How? Birds are all around us!" Cried the queen butterfly.
"Fly!" Said princess dragonfly.
So they did. Then, suddenly,
"Who is that?" Said a voice.
"I'M WAITING FOR A SNACK!" The voice added.
It turned out the one who made the voice was prince caterpillar.
"Pricetilaisia found me first". Said the caterpillar.
