Awake


      After a good long sleep, I woke up this morning.
      I am a deer. I had been sleeping for a whole winter and it is great for me to see this world again. I combed my fur and washed my face. I wanted to sleep for another minute or two but mum said we should find some food to eat.
     So right now I am running freely in the forest and seeking for food. I see some fresh mushrooms and grass and I can't wait to rush to them. Everyone else is eating, too. We will migrate to a new place to live after we finish our meals.
    In the past winter, I stayed in the warm cave. I had a great meal before hibernate and I slept well .The winter was not as long as I thought it would be. It's really good to know that the spring is coming and we should be ready for our new lives. Spring means challenges and opportunities. I am awake and I am ready.

Be a beautiful little fool

        April Fool's Day used to be my favorite holiday when I was little, and it is still one of my favorites now. There are a few hilarious stories on this day.
        The first trick was from one of my friend. She was a quiet and friendly girl so I had never thought about that she would play tricks on me. On April Fool's Day, after a running test, we were both tired and were sitting on a bench. She said she would go and get some water for both of us and she ran away. After a while, she returned with two bottles of water and handed me one, I was not paying attention and said thanks. As soon as I drank the water, I spit out. The water was too salty that I couldn't imagine how much salt she had put. When I looked back, she was laughing hardly.
       The second was one of my classmates who tricked my math teacher. We all believed that it was a courage for him to do so because the math teacher was really a strict lady and we had never seen her laugh, even once. We all said good luck and prayed for him:). He glued his hand with glue and went to the teacher's office. He told our teacher that he admired her a lot and would like to shake hands with her. Our math teacher was so surprised and shake hands with him. You can imagine what happened next...It was a big jar of  glue. The good news was our teacher didn't get mad, she is just unhappy.
      The third was from a teacher. At the beginning of that day, she told us she would move the test day to that day. We didn't believe her at first since it was April Fool's Day. She said she was not kidding and she said she never celebrate April Fool's Day. We started to believe. The classroom was quiet that day because everyone was studying. In the afternoon, we were all almost ready for the test, but she came in and laughed, she said she was joking. We were all relieved.
      April Fool's Day is a special day for all the fools. Sometimes it is not bad to be a fool. Like Daisy says in movie "The Great Gatsby" : " I hope him to be a beautiful little fool." Happy April Fool's Day, little fools.
