Ashley has some talents. She can spin a hula hoop on her hips longer than anyone I’ve ever met—her specialty is three at a time. She likes to study joke books and make people laugh whenever possible. She can write entertaining stories and has quite the collection filling up journals in her room. When told she had to write a story involving three single-celled microscopic organisms for Science class, this is what she came up with:

Once upon a time there was a paramecium named Sally. Her best friend was Bob the amoeba. They always played superheroes at recess. But one day very soon they would really have to save the day.

That day was Friday. Friday was pizza day and the pizza guy got swallowed by a volvox and couldn’t get out.

So Sally and Bob came to the rescue. They dressed up in their superhero costumes and went to find the volvox. Finally after two hours they spotted the volvox with the pizza guy screaming like a girl. They laughed at him. He didn’t laugh back.

Sally and Bob surrounded the volvox and caught him. They pulled out the pizza guy and then Sally and Bob split the volvox and ate him. The End.

Too cool. Yes, what is a volvox? Tell her to keep up the great work. When Miss Alicia was about her age she won a state award for her writing abilities. Go Ashley!
