  1. Captain Miller was the most adored schooner captain in his land. He had been sailing since he was a small boy, he knew all the parts of the vessel (the masts, the sails, the prow), and he treated his crew with kindness. Everything was wonderful until one fateful trip across the ocean. The crew became restless from all the time away from their families. They became rebellious towards Captain Miller and demanded to turn the ship around! It became quite an ordeal when the crew members refused to work! Captain Miller went to his most responsible crew member and asked, "What should I do?" The crew member promised him that he would help. The crew memeber went back to the room where all the men slept and asked the crew to huddle. In the huddle, they came up with a plan. If Captain Miller promised them a vacation after this voyage, they would finish it out. The captain was truly jovial when he heard the news. Of course he would give them some rest and relaxation! They were a great crew and he hated that he almost demolished their spirits!!!

  2. Grayson, Reagan, and Sarah were dancing at Sarah’s house, when they ran into a problem. You couldn’t fast forward the music, so they could not start at one point of the song which makes it hard choreograph a dance. So they huddled close to solve this big ordeal, but they could not think of anything so they slacked. Just then Reagan stood up erectly like she had a great idea. Then she said why don’t we look on youtube? So we settled in the chair and looked up Hold Me, our song, and we got to make the best dance ever and got to perform on Broadway.

  3. One day two mousy girls named Shannon and Grace rode their horses together. Grace's horse was a beautiful chestnut, with full stockings, and a blaze. Her name was Breeze. Shannon's horse was a proud bay that always showed pride in his self by always standing erect. His name was Bucky.The girls rode off to a cold dark place where everyone was very slack and very decrepit. The horses and the girls were very cold,so they did something very smart.... they huddled and by the time they got cold again they were already at Grace's house!!!

  4. One day while I was walking in a field, I saw a huddle of horses. I walked over to where they were and there was no food. They probably need to become migrants so they can find food. As I was walking more, I walked on a slack tree over a lake. I tried to stay erect as I walked over it so I wouldn't fall off. I came back and no horses were there. I looked and saw them far away eating their food. A decrepit man seemed to be feeding them.

  5. I hate pre-K Lindsey thought!!! There are so many bullies. Not many were in her class but all the mousy kids like Lindsey always got picked on. Some bullies got into fights with other kids but it was never a big ordeal. The only part of the school day that she liked was show and tell. When Lindsey woke up that morning she thought about what she would bring. All of a sudden a thought came to her!! She could bring her perfectly shaped schooner. So that day she took her perfectly shaped schooner to school. When it was her time she ran up to the front of the room and boasted ‘Look at my perfectly shaped boat”. It’s got a nice crew and a prow, and the sails are so erect and not slack. Plus the crew is migrant men looking for work from Europe. The next day there was a demolishing storm at sea and they all had to huddle together. They hit land like a settler. After the storm the ship was so decrepit it wouldn’t sail. It was like it got put through a blender. But the next day all the water on the ship had condensed. “No one had noticed anyone had gotten thrown overboard into the deep, dark, blue sea”, Lindsey said. So it was hard and intricate to make sure everyone was there because there were so many people. Some sailors didn’t know what had happened because they got knocked out during the storm. So the captain tried to mislead them so that everyone thought it was calm and ok. After they were on the island for awhile they decided to live there so the captain decided to disband the crew. Well the crew took one look at the jungle behind them on the island and became rebellious and demanded to stick together. “So what do you think of my boat” she asked. That’s so cool some classmates shouted when others echoed awesome and terrific. That day when the school bus dropped her off at her house she felt so great even when she went to get ready for bed. Everyone liked my vessel she thought as she drifted off to sleep.

  6. Long ago, there was a man named Christopher Columbus. He loved sailing the ocean blue with his favorite schooner named the Mariagalante. He was on his second voyage to the New World. There were many crew members and they were all erect except one. This man was named Juan Ponce de Leon. He was a very mousy man. Half of the crew members picked on him because he was the weakling while the other half decided they needed to help him. They huddled up and decided to kill the mean crew mates with the power of kindness. Their plan worked but then Christopher Columbus got sick. He had Jaun Ponce de Leon take over. after a few more weeks of sailing, they came upon St. Augustine, Florida. Jaun Ponce de Leon was the first crew member to step foot on the land. He was the first settler to discover St. Augustine and everyone was proud.

  8. Once apon a time there was a dibanded group called the Stars. The people who once were apart of the group were named Jack, Boulder, Debie, Paul and Rick. They broke up the group a bout a moth ago because of the biggest ordeal the have ever come accross. They were on a ship when a big storm was aproching, they all had to do a different job for the Captin so they wouldnt get lost at sea. The Captin had asighned jobs to five people, Jack had to tighten the ropes, Boulder had to cover the food,Debie had to collect the fresh water, Paul had to mop the deck and Rick had to cast the sails out... When all of a suden the prow snapped! It demolished alomst half of the ships top deck! The captin did not want to mislead the crew so he calmly fixed the prow and saved the five from a terrible accadent.

  9. What goes down, comes right back up.

    There once was an old man named, Victor. Victor was very DECREPIT and didn't smell so good either. One morning Victor remaind MOUSY. " Why are you so quiet Victor dear?" asked Carol (Victor's Wife). Victor replied, " The builders are going to DEMOLISH our favorite restaurant, Green Tia." 'Oh No' thought Carol. " I guess I'm just gonna SLACK off at home," Victor said. "NO!" demanded Carol, "Remember when my favorite band DISBANDED?" Victor thought and thought (It took him a hour to remember), so when he remembered Victor said, " Your right. Besides a new building can be exciting!" So the moral to this story is... Even when an old memory goes a new jumps right into your life. Anyway, Victor and Carol go there every Monday (For Bowling Night, of course.)

  10. There were six canada geese flying south for the winter. These geese have been friends for years. Every year they make the trip to Florida together. Their names are Peaches, Pickles, Momo, The Boss, Adakin, and Skywaler. On their way to Florida this year they got lost. This is where the terrible ordeal started. The Boss wanted to take over and lead the group in the right direction. Momo was being rebellious. She thought she knew it all. The Boss called the geese into a huddle. He said if Momo leads the group they will never find their way. She flies in circles he said. Peaches agreed with The Boss but did not want to hurt Momo's feelings. Pickles just did not want to be mislead. What a mess. They argued and finally decided to fly in different directions. This horrible ordeal demolished their friendship. This was very sad. Momo flew in circles. Peaches flew to South Carolina. Pickles found her way to Florida. The Boss flew to Texas. Adakin and Skywalker both ended up in Mississippi. They never saw each other again.

  11. My grandmothers house was very old and decrepit but had very intricate woodwork on the outside. During the last storm it went through a great ordeal and the roof had settled under the weight of the rain. She was very sad at the thought that it might need to be demolished, because it was built by her father. But luckly it could be saved and a new roof was installed. It now stands very proud and erect and my grandmother is very happy.

  12. On a Monster Jam truck show the first monster truck was erect after it hit the jump. The driver huddled with his crew after his run. The show was the opposite of mousy. One driver was slack during his run. Lastly, the final truck flipped and it could have been an ordeal for the driver.

  13. There once was a clay boy named Clark. He lived in a clay village. One day, white stone people came and invaded the village. Houses were demolished. Millions of people died and our army was slack. Our people were mislead into a trap. We called the white stone people rebellious. Clark decided the town people needed to move to a new village. He lead his people, as a settler, to a new village.

  14. Once, there was a lady named Grace Sherwood. Grace was a weird lady. She wore mens pants, not erect, got dirty with no problem at all, and appeared in one place to another in two seconds. She was very decrepit. The other villagers gave her no slack and thought she was a witch. So, they tied her hands and feet together. In this old and traditional ordeal, if she drowns, she's not a witch. If she DOES, they suspect she's a witch. Well she didn't drown. And then she was very rebellious and mousy ever since. Now, she is called "The Witch of Pungo."

  15. Once there were three girls named Grayson,Reagan,and Sarah. All three of the girls were playing in the pasture when they spotted a decrepit baby lamb that couldn't stand that means that she couldn't nurse. At first we huddled aroud it. Then Sarah asked "What are we going to do about this ordeal?" "I dont know" said Grayson."I got it" said Reagan. "Sarah go get my grandma for medicine that looks like milk and put it in a bottle" "Grayson go get hay and throw it in the barn". "I'm not going to stop until this lamb stands perfectly erect" said Reagan. "I hope this plan will not demolish!" But it didn't. In three days the lamb was standing erect! It was a miracle.

  17. Joshua,

    Captain Bob's prow of his schooner was dashing through the water when he spotted a great white shark cutting through the water with its big dorsal fin. Then he said to his crew, "man the harpoons and aim and fire”. When the crew fired the harpoons at the shark, the harpoon demolished the head of the great white shark. It was quite the ordeal moment. Then blood scattered everywhere. A few minutes later Captain Bob spotted a pack of migrant bull sharks at a distance. One of the bull sharks sprang out of the water and with a big snap. Captain Bob vanished and with a blink of an eye the crew dashed to the prow of the schooner. They saw nothing down in the water at first. Then there was blood in the water. No one has seen his body since.

  19. I have a one year old black lab named Bella. She loves to play outside in the back yard. Bella also likes when I play fetch with her. When I go inside she gets lonely and bored. This makes her be rebellious and run down the street to a neighbors house where a yellow lab named Otis lives. We have to all huddle around her and it is still an ordeal to get her back. We are scared she will demolish something there. Bella and Otis's meeting have been disbanded by an underground fence we had installed. Now her collar would shock her if she tried to go out of the yard. It is sad she can't see her friend but safer for her.
