Earth Day
Earth Day is important because we want the earth
to be a better planet. We can do this by recycling
litter, paper and cans. Keep our environment clean!
By: Mathusan S., Downsview Library
I think Earth Day is important because Earth Day
helps us not to litter and helps keep our environment healthy and clean. It also helps us learn not to
litter everywhere.
By: Sahil G., Downsview Library
This month, I am going to celebrate Earth Day at
school by planting flowers. I think it will be fun.
Earth Day is important because we take care of our
world. There are lots of ways to take care of our
world. We can recycle, keep the heating down, use
less water, and use less electricity.

In the Quiet Jungle with Lion and His Friends
In the jungle, the quiet jungle, where the lion sleeps tonight. Lion
goes to see his friend Mr. Giraffe in the day and in the night; he
sleeps and hunts for zebras. For the past few days, everything was
going just fine until Monkey came along.
“Monkey,” asked Lion, “how come you don‘t eat Mr. Giraffe?”
“Because he is my friend and I don’t eat my friends,” said Monkey.
“Well, how come you don‘t eat me since you are not my friend,”
Monkey asked.
“Well, did I mention that you are not my best friend but you are my
friend,” Lion said.
“Ok…But if you are my friend, how come you never told me
before,” said Monkey.
“Because I was tired and hungry. Now deal with it,” Lion said.
“Why should I?,” asked Monkey.
“Stop asking me questions or else, I will change my mind and eat
you instead.”
“I am much too fast for you,” Monkey muttered.
“Roarrrr!!!” Lion said strongly.
Monkey ran up a tree and swung from branch to branch. By the
time lion blinked, Monkey was gone. Wow! Lion was surprised.
Monkey’s heart was beating so fast that he felt flat on the ground
for a couple of minutes.
One day, Giraffe came to see Lion. Lion was lying on the ground.
“What‘s up”, Giraffe asked. “I am okay,” Lion said in a sad voice.
“I know what I could do to cheer you up real good,” said Giraffe.
So Giraffe made a funny face and made lion laugh. Lion was so
happy; he hugged Giraffe very tight.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Lisa. She was eight years old. She
lived in an old house in the jungle. One day, Lisa met the longest cat on earth. The
cat had a long hat with red and white stripes, and a long tail. His name was David.
David started to pee on Lisa‘s shoe. “Yuck”, she said. So, she went to the river to
wash her shoe. She fell down into the river and got wet. Then a crocodile came to
bite her. She kissed the crocodile and he turned into a prince. They lived happily
ever after with David.
Wednesday 5:30pm-6:30pm
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who had pink boots. She lived in the woods
with her family. She had two twin brothers named Zack and Cody. One day, she was
playing in the woods when suddenly a dragon came crashing through the trees. She
ran all the way home and told her mom. Then she flew away with her boots. The
dragon also brought his own boots. Now the girl, the dragon, Zack and Cody flew to
Nova Scotia for a picnic. They became best friends and lived happily ever after.
Wednesday 6:30pm-7:30pm
Once upon a time, there was a girl and a boy. They lived on a farm miles away from
other people. The boy’s name is Sponge Bob. The girl‘s name is Sally. Sally was a
witch who enjoyed turning Sponge Bob into different animals. Sally would turn
Sponge Bob into frogs and rats. One day, Sally turned Sponge Bob into a donkey.
Then, Sally accidentally broke the wand and she couldn’t turn Sponge Bob back into
himself. Sally rode Sponge Bob the donky into town to get a new wand. Then, when
she got to the store, she saw an evil witch. The evil witch told Sally that there were
no more wands in all the land and suggested that she just buy another donkey to
keep Sponge Bob company. Then, one night the moon was blue and Sponge Bob
turned back to normal. Then the wizard changed the bad witches into nice people
and everyone lived happily ever after!
Saturday 10:15am-11:15pm
Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved reading books because it took
