Narcissus and Echo

There was once a handsome young man named Narcissus. He turned down people left and right. One day while walking through the forest a nymph named Echo saw him. She couldn't say anything to him for she had been cursed and could only repeat the last thing someone said. She tried to embrace him but he told her to get lost and left her heart broken. She spent her life heart broken until only her voice remained. Another admirer of Narcissus was a man named Ameinius. He was always trying to get his attention. The conceited Narcissus sent him a sword telling him to prove his adoration. Ameinius plunged the dagger into his heart committing suicide to prove his love. He begged the gods to punish Narcissus and the god Artemis heard the plea. She made Narcissus fall in love with himself. So when he saw his reflection in the water he was depressed he could not hold his own reflection. He ended up plunging a dagger into his heart, calling out a last goodbye to his reflection.

The Day I met Madeleine

I was walking across the street and saw a girl eating a spider. It was so gross I wanted to look away, but I couldn't. Ew! was all I could think as I watched her quietly eat the spider. She held it lightly between her fingers. She looked up and smiled at me. It was strange for I had never seen something like this before. She held the spider above the ground and slowly put it in her mouth. She ate the spider like it was a little chicken nugget. I will never forget that nasty day.

Scariest thing ever

The scariest thing that has ever happened to me was when I was almost picked up by someone on the side of the ride. I was walking back from a friend's house when this white car passed me. I walked on and was almost to my house when I saw the car waiting close to my house. I thought I heard the driver say "I'm going to try and pick up this chick really quick." I wasn't sure but, continued to walk home. I was walking past the car when he started asking me questions. He asked me if he could give me a ride repeatedly and how old I was. I told him no I don't want a ride repeatedly and that my age was none of his business. I half walked, half ran up my driveway and seconds later my parents came up the driveway. I told them what happened and that the car was still there. My mom called the sheriff, and as soon as my brother went to look at the car the man started to drive away. I was so scared I couldn't stop crying. I was relieved that nothing had happened to me, but scared that something could have.
