The Story of My Life
By A.L. Tree
I was born in Friendly Oaks Forest on April 17, 1940. On July 8,
1998, my friends and I were removed from our home. A whole army of
people riding in big, big school bus yellow trucks took us to a paper
mill. When we arrived, these ladies removed the leaves from our
branches. Next, we were ground into pulp. Next, they sprinkled water
on us. And before I could count to 100, they had made me into a piece
of paper.
And after this, three people took me and two of my friends,
Chris and Armari to the local newspaper company. Here, they used a
special kind of ink to write on us. After we were all inked up, we were
placed onto a truck with several thousand other newspapers.
Next, the trucks dropped us of at local grocery stores, banks,
libraries, gas stations, schools, and newspaper stands. Chris was
bought at the grocery store while Armari was bought at a truck stop.
Me, I was bought by a family that had a cute chocolate colored cocker
spaniel named Coco. After they read me, the mom, Mrs. Magee put me
into the recycling bin. I heard her say that the recycling bin would be
picked up on Tuesday. I wonder what's going to happen to me on
Tuesday!
It's finally Tuesday and I can't wait to tell you what happened
next. A big white truck came to get me, Tyrese the aluminum can and
Alyliaha the plastic bottle, and Tyler the glass jar. They brought us all
to Changing Faces Recycling Company. Once I got here I said bye to
all of my new friends. I knew that I might not see any of them again
because all of us were brought to separate rooms. I was brought to a
large room that was stacked with paper. All of the paper including
newspaper was separated and stacked into bundles in this room. The
bundles of paper, I am told, are called bales (that's B-A-L-E-S).
After we were all stacked and tied bundled, we were brought to
the paper mill and grounded into pulp. This time the paper mill
workers made me into cardboard. All of this travelling has made me
sleepy. I think I'll take a nap. Ummmm, something smells good in
here. What, am I doing in here? It's too hot in here, I want to go home.
"Welcome to Tony's Pizza, may I take your order.' 'I want large with
mushrooms, black olives and spinach." Finally, I get to leave this
place. Now I have a new home.

Never Trust Raccoons
They eat your food,
they scavenge your trash.
sometimes, they're in a bad mood,
and they leave little traces of ash.
These little critters paw their way to your house,
And look for passageways inside.
They're not noticed, not even by a mouse,
Then, your eyes grow wide.
You scream and run and trash and jump,
for you can never escape the wrath,
of this little furry lump.
You look aside for a path,
and jump for the nearest exit.
You think in your mind "this is worse than a baboon!"
For this is trash's most evil enemy,
The Raccoon.
